Watching Andrea play Barbies with Evie made my week. I was giggling the entire time. Evie does this tiny high voice as she complains that she (Ariel) has a head ache and needs to go to the doctor. Only to find out that “Oh, he died.” This was how the storyline went the entire time. My favorite part was watching Andrea be so present with her and enjoy their time together. Andrea said “My kids are totally different and it couldn't be more fun. Trae is my cuddle bunny and wants to snuggle into my lap whenever possible. He is sensitive, sweet and emotional. He is so tender-hearted. He also loves anything Avengers, especially the Hulk. Then there is Evie. She is my sassy little redhead. Her personality matches her fiery-red hair perfectly. She is independent and thinks she is 16 years old. She kind of runs the show around here. Evie loves anything princesses, and especially loves princess Ariel. Some days Trae and Evie will be the best of friends and never leave each other sides. Other days... well, let’s just say there are other days. "Together, we have so much fun. It's exhausting, but fun. We like to have dance parties, play Memory, have movie nights, read books, do puzzles and play hide ‘n’ go seek. We go swimming, skiing, to new parks, Bear Lake, Lagoon, Park City, California, and anywhere that we can fit into our crazy schedule. I like my kids to try new things and get a taste of what the world has to offer. I want them to remember their childhood as being fun, spontaneous and always filled with love." This home was a dream for me as a photographer, because of the beautiful big windows. But to Andrea, it has so much meaning. She said, "This home will always have a special place in my heart because it was where we built our family of THREE. It is where I stood on my own two feet and decided to raise my children by myself, in a home of harmony and love. This home built me into the woman I am today. In this home, I proved to myself that I can do hard things. I'm so grateful for this house and the experiences I have had here, the people I have met, and the lessons I have learned." I'm grateful to learn from so many amazing, strong mothers, who love their children unconditionally and work everyday to create beautiful homes and lives filled with charity and love.
