Exactly 115 years ago our 26th President, Theodore Roosevelt, was sworn into office in this house. Now a National Historic Site, this home was built in 1839. Delaware Avenue – Delaware District

The one thing no one tells you about becoming a mother is that you lose yourself a little bit in the beginning, and it can be a scary feeling. One day, you’re you – cute and confident – and the next day, you’re someone’s mother. Your whole identity as a person changes literally overnight, and all of a sudden you’re on a strange journey of trying to figure out who you are and how you fit into the world. It’s junior high all over again. Your self confidence takes a nose dive, and you’re forced to re-invent yourself. These past 19 months of motherhood have been tough, but they have taught me that I am extremely strong and resilient, that I can pull myself back up out of the deepest, darkest places, that I am creative at the core of my being, and that I am probably the only one who notices the dried crusty food on my shirt. #momlife I have also gained a deeper appreciation for how quickly life flies by, and therefore a deeper respect for the work I do. This recent photo is a great representation of the new me that I’m getting to know – no makeup, 10 extra lbs, crazy hair, happier than I’ve ever been at any other point in my life.❤️

A lighthouse through the trees. I saw this angle and realized I didn’t have the right lens for it and had to go back. Turned out just the way I pictured it. #buffalo #buffalove16 #buffalony #lighthouse #hashtagstepoutbuffalo #tree #Photooftheday #grass #outerharbor #statepark #road #bokeh #depthoffield #716 #eriecounty #travelbuf #explore716 #explorebuffalo
