Grant Park also has a splash pad for hot days. It’s great in the summer. I love parks that are nestled in suburban areas, away from bigger streets. While it’s close to Perry Street, it’s tucked away enough that I don’t feel worried if my kid decides to wander a little bit.
I love spending my afternoons with Eleanor. Sometimes I feel like she got robbed of one-on-one time being the second-born. And while there are benefits to being the second born, I want to make sure she gets the same attention Harry did. I know that’s near impossible since Harry had SO much time (first born benefits) but I can still try to make sure she FEELS loved. So I like to take her on walks in parks and playgrounds, just us. With it being such a beautiful fall day, I decided to bust out my lensbaby too. I love the blur of the colors and the richness of the tones. I wish I had the 50mm version so I could get closer but I got on board the lensbaby train early when all they had was the 85.
One more thing Eleanor and I are lacking – selfies. I tried to take a lot of images with Harry but I definitely don’t do that enough with Eleanor. So I wanted to make sure I got in at least one frame with her. I’m pretty happy with it. <3

Oh these are so beautiful! I love that yellow coat. (please tell me you bought it because of the photography potential- mainly because then I wouldn’t feel so silly doing that myself.)
I have 2 kids also so I totally understand how you feel. What a beautiful park/playground. I love the last photo of you and Eleanor! All the feels!
The colors are amazing, Margaret. Love the lensbaby work. The first photo is my favorite, it’s so intriguing!
Love this all! Your selfie is absolutely perfect!
I love the story these tell!!! I feel like I was following her steps. I especially love that last one!
