My favorite images of 2025

Has it really been six years since I last blogged? These last six years have been beautiful, hard and full.  I think the stories they hold are too good not to share.  I used to blog weekly and I thoroughly enjoyed the writing and connection that blogging offered.  But then times … [Read more...] about My favorite images of 2025

We’re Moving!

As I type, Dave is packing boxes, and Judah is taking a bottle.  Rain is pitter pattering outside and Johnnyswim is playing on the record player.   For 8 years now, I’ve lived in Alabama.  A Virginia native originally, I quickly learned that though Virginia is technically a … [Read more...] about We’re Moving!

Dave 🤎 What a whimsically adventure we are on. W Dave 🤎 
 What a whimsically adventure we are on. Who would have thought that this little life would be ours ? The days are long & the years are short. We are laughing through the heartache & seeking out the good. The ordinary joys that fill our chaotic days are what make us grateful. I’m so thankful for you. You’re are always willing to say “yes”, you are the first to volunteer to put a kid (and simultaneously yourself) to bed, you are relentlessly laidback (even if your wife things urgency is necessary at times), you were made for music, you desire nothing more out of life than to live it quietly & work with your hands, you’re witty & loyal & simple & kind.

The more we do life together, the more I see how we are velcroed together. Choosing each other, day by day, has made us whole. Even when the waves of life crash over us & knock the breath out of us, I always come up for air, looking for you. You’re my safe place. You’re home.

You’re so many things… but my favorite thing is that you’re mine. Happy birthday, Dave the babe✨🫶🏻
Well hello there ☀️   2026 has had the sweetest a Well hello there ☀️  

2026 has had the sweetest and slowest start.   The kids are praying for snow days, Dave is building garden beds (eeeekkk!!) and I’m caught up in a new book series.

Photography has already been SO fun.  Last week I spent a few days photographing the @restandplay30A retreat in sunshine-soaked 30A Florida.  It was SO fun connecting with the attendees and being refreshed by the precious reminder that rest and play are necessary.

While at the retreat, I felt the nudge to start blogging again.  
Who remembers when I used to blog each week?! 

At first I brushed it off.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how much I missed the connection and creative outlet blogging offered me.  Writing will always be special for me.  I have journals upon journals to prove it.  But writing in a way that allows for me to connect to others is something that I just can’t shake.

So, I’m posting this online, for the whole world to see.  You can expect at least 12 blog posts from me this year.  I’m hoping for more, but let’s not bite off more than we can chew 😉. Everything ranging from my most favorite photography works to everyday life as a momma of four, to gardening and everything in between.  I cannot wait to meet you over at www.annafilly.com/blog/ 👒♥️🌼

There truly aren’t words to describe all that the There truly aren’t words to describe all that the last two weeks held for me & my team as we adventured into the heart of Africa. From sharing the liberating love of Jesus to camping in Zambia, every aspect of our trip has left me grateful, joyful & brimming with hope. To know Jesus is to know peace. To know the perfect love of our gracious daddy God is to know who you are in Him. 

I’m so utterly grateful. 🫶🏻🇿🇦

Thank you to my sweet husband for holding down the fort while I was gone. Thank you to my friends who helped with my littles, dropped off food & loved us like family. Thank you to my team for all that we experienced together. Thank you to our mission partners who are literal ANGELS & get to water & care for the seeds that were planted.  What a gift, what a joy. I’m sure I’ll spend weeks processing all that transpired. But for now, here are a few of my favorite moments & memories.
Every single bloom was a labor of love 👒🌸🌻 Each y Every single bloom was a labor of love 👒🌸🌻

Each year the garden has a specific genre. Last year it was how the volunteer Zinnias took over.  This year it’s how the pumpkins have a mind of their own. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But, no matter the genre it’s always magical to watch things grow.

No garden is perfect, but having a garden is so worth it. It’s my first year where I have been in the dirt & seeing the fruit of my labor each & every month. So thankful for all that this year’s garden is teaching me 🌼

I’ve never been more thankful to be their momma th I’ve never been more thankful to be their momma than I am in this moment. Getting a front row seat to their little lives is the greatest gift. We are in the “good ole days” & I am soaking up every minute. It’s hard. There are days where I struggle. But then I’m reminded that that’s the point. My job isn’t to be perfect, my job is to point these little ones to Christ. He is perfect & he is full of liberation & life. What a joy to be their mom. What a gift it is to watch them grow up 🤍
