Instant Replay #4 // Fall

Admittedly my instagram feed has been a broken record lately of pumpkins, leaves, boots and beads of dew on fallen leaf debris... but honestly can you blame me? I don't think so. As a result of being hidden away in the desert for the last four falls that I completely forgot how completely magical Northern Wisconsin can be during the fall. I have been so jazzed about Halloween this year that Sergio and I carved pumpkins on September 30th. I didn't even have the will power to wait until October! I have been enjoying this season so much I might even wait until after Thanksgiving to start celebrating Christmas...might.

Instant Replay #3 // Spring

Life according to my instagram feed has been beautiful, inspiring, fresh, colorful and full of joy. This Spring is a much different season of life than it was last year. I am slowly emerging from the heavy cloak of grief and starting to feel joy again. I mean there are still hard and horribly painful days but not as frequently. I am embracing each day and making an effort to tap into the things that have always brought pure joy into my life like nature, family, flying kites, baby animals, painting and walking in rain storms. I sincerely hope this Spring is treating you as kindly as it has been treating me.

Instant Replay #2

My life according to instagram is very colorful, slow paced, tidy, deliciously filled with constant baking and a healthy dose of felines. I can say that many of those things are absolutely true but other things are just a show... but really who's life doesn't look perfect through the rise filter or an afterglow circle frame?

I really enjoy seeing instagram posts when I stumble upon a new blog because it gives me a better idea of the content I might see in the future. So I decided to share my own 'according to instagram' post. It was really fun to browse through my instagram feed via Webbygram because the photos are nice and BIG, I had a hard time not posting all my pictures because it was so exciting to view them on a computer screen opposed to a tiny Apple screen. Here's a highlight of  a lot of my favorite pictures, lots more after the jump. If you would like to follow me on IG my name is @Eloquent_stones.
