Question and Answers with real Dallas moms
Welcome to the first edition of Q&A with our clients. We will be posting mini interviews with local moms and featuring images from their recent session with us. It is always great to pick the brains of fabulous moms, so have fun reading!
NAME: Emily Miller
FAMILY MEMBERS: Brandon, our daughter Vaughn (7 months) and our two dogs, Moses and Milo
OCUPATION: Interior Designer
MY FAVORITE PLACE FOR KID'S CLOTHING IS: Babybliss for their unexpected, less predictable baby clothing.
WHAT SURPRISES ME THE MOST ABOUT PARENTING IS: How in L-O-V-E with my little girl I really am! The sayings about how much moms love their children seem so trite and cliche...until I had one of my own.
A FAVORITE TRADITION I SHARE WITH MY CHILDREN IS: My family's Christmas Eve tradition was to drink hot chocolate and eat homemade cinnamon cookies (that my sister and I made earlier in the day). We read the Christmas story from the Bible, and were allowed to open one gift each. To this day, that memory is one of fondness, and I hope to continue the tradition with my own daughter.
WHAT I WANT MY CHILDREN TO LEARN ABOUT LIFE: To live a meaningful, exhilarating life that makes a difference in the world; but to enjoy the many simple pleasures along the way! I love the words to Louis Armstrong's song Wonderful Life..."I hear babies cry, I'll watch them grow. They'll learn much more than I'll ever know. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world."
It sums up what moms everywhere want for their children...to live beautiful, satisfying lives.
THE MOST FUN THING ABOUT BEING A MOM IS... Being "allowed" to play again. Swinging at the park, swimming leisurely strolling on walks and singing out loud are somehow acceptable if you are a mom.
I HOPE MY DAUGHTER INHERITS... My husband's disposition. He is the most caring, tender and eduring person I have ever met.
THE THING I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT BEING A PARENT BEFORE I BECAME ONE... I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a mom!
