{this moment} on two continents! 26 July 2013

Each week my South African friend Vanessa and I post {this moment} on two continents! as a ritual to celebrate our friendship and the bond we share as we raise our boys "together" on opposite sides of the globe.

This week our photos touched on the subject I think a lot about lately - child's play! I keep thinking that this is the one childhood that my boys will get, and the memories they are making will form the foundation of their character. My personal definition for childhood: The opportunity to explore the world unencumbered through wonder and play! (At least that is what I hope their experience feels like!)
