Ok, before I even get into today’s post, can y’all do me a HUGE favor??? {Not super huge, just please if you can}. All of a sudden I’m getting weird “non-real followers” on my Instagram page ~ like you click on the profile and it says, “Get 100′s of fans, click here, etc.” I HATE [...]
I have to admit….I’m still reflecting quite a bit on last Sunday, April 21st, when our oldest daughter made the decision to get baptized. It was such a special day for Annabelle and our entire family. As parents, we have so many hopes for our children. That they will value family and friendships, help others, [...]
It’s official. I finally completed a home tour which is being featured today over at It’s Overflowing! Yay! Even though I feel like all of our rooms are “half-way” done, we really know they’re never “done”, right? Life happens, things change…. It was SO great working with Aimee and she has a whole section of [...]
For awhile now, I have been contemplating how to share {in a meaningful way} many of the other bloggers that I follow in this big ol’ blogosphere. There are SO many great minds out there sharing their wealth of knowledge, creativity, and encouragement that I can’t possibly keep that to myself. But, it’s super hard. [...]
Over the holidays, I took a bit of time to reevaluate life in general. My family, our habits, our goals, frustrations, passions, and so on. It’s always a great time to stop and think about how to be intentional about life, not just on auto-pilot or letting things be a distraction ~ even good things! This [...]
Yay! It’s finally here!!! Today I’m wrapping up our Home for the Holidays Series as the host for Kids and Christmas! I’m especially excited because today is all about family. It’s not about staging. It’s not about flawless photos. It’s ALL about moments. Being together and celebrating the Joy of Christmas ~ together. I honestly [...]
Hello everyone ~ I hope today finds you well! Between sickness sweeping through our family of 5 over the past two weeks and just being emotionally overwhelmed over the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, I have been away from blogging and been focusing on our family, friends, and home. I know this tragedy has [...]
It’s been quite awhile since we ventured out and bought a real tree for Christmas, so this year I was pretty excited to head to our local Fred Meyer and snag a beautiful Noble Fir for $30. Compared to the $20 fake tree we’ve been using since the kids were born (now their tree!) I’d [...]
I remember the day very clearly. I was meeting my sister after church to help her out with a photo shoot. She was majoring in photography at The Art Institute during that time and needed a “subject” to work with for an assignment. Yay for me! Nothing like some sisterly fun. I went [...]
That’s right! Today I’m off to celebrate my 30th Birthday! It’s hard to even know what to say since thankfulness hardly sums up my years. Married for 10 years to the love of my life, 3 beautiful healthy kids, and the opportunity to freely pursue goals and dreams, both personally and as a family. I [...]
