Author: Tamara Belanger

Mama of six grown kids, Nana to a magical little girl and a lilttle boy destined to climb mountains, divorced and broken for a purpose. An unabashed follower of Jesus. A social introvert, lover of all things travel and photography and cultures different than mine. I thrive on pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I love chocolate and wildflowers. I enjoy cooking and hiking and would live outdoors if I could have a claw foot bathtub with hot soapy water at the end of the day

Just looking at this picture makes me laugh! I had turned to get us both in the frame and decided to just lay down all the way….while she was driving through a parking lot. And we both dissolved into raucous laughter, the kind that makes you glad to be alive. In this particular picture, I’d …
