If you haven't noticed but Kelly from Foxes and Graveyards is my MVP sponsor. This girl is absolutely amazing!! She takes the most amazing photographs ever.
1. How did you come up with the name of your blog?
When I lived in Austin, TX there was a time when I lived really close to a cemetery. This was when I rode my bicycle everywhere. I would pass by the cemetery at night and see glowing eyes. During the day I would pass the same cemetery and saw that the glowing eyes belonged to foxes. I'm enamoured by the dichotomy of these foxes living in a place where we lay people to rest. Death and life mixing together instead of being kept in separate spaces. The title of my blog holds a lot of beauty to me. One that I'm not sure everyone gets.
2. How long have you been blogging?Originally I just wanted a place to share my artwork. In 2011 after I got married to my Mister I started focusing on my photographs more. After the birth of our daughter in 2012 I did a 52 week project that really pushed my photography in a really good direction (or so I believe). I think that is when I actually became a blogger. I never intended to become a mommy blogger but something changed inside me after the birth of our daughter. I feel gratitude for the community of mommy bloggers that I've come into contact with. I feel lucky to be part of that movement even if I'm a very small part.
3. Any New Years Resolution made? Have you broken?I usually deter myself from committing to New Years resolutions. It can be daunting. I've been really wanting to better myself in more internal ways so this years resolution will be to Listen more. I find myself jumping in to give comment on almost everything. I want to "fix" situations. It maybe the innate mother inside me now but I want to strive to listen more in 2014. I've probably broken it already but I still want to strive to work on it.
4. Favorite comfort food?This question is quite difficult because I find food to be comforting in general. I'm a huge fan of vietnamese food. Especially Bún or Bánh mìwhich I could probably eat it everyday.
5. One thing that you can't live without? As I get older I think Nature is pretty high up on the list of things I can't live without. Part of me wants to move our family onto some land and have some animals (i.e., goat, chickens). I grew up in the country and the time spent in nature and with animals is included in some of my fondest memories. My heart longs for our daughter to have the same access to the natural world as I did.
