Things around our world seem to be falling apart this week so one afternoon I decided to take my camera outside for a bit to gather some perspective and even a little peace for my heart and mind. It worked for a little while… I thought about this post that my friend Tracy wrote and…
Be Still.
“Mommy, I want a snack!” Pause. “Mommy, did you hear me?” *yes, I heard you baby, but I’m working* “Yes, baby, just a minute!” This time I was watermarking photos, not even surfing the internet. I got to a stopping point, put my laptop on the table and raised myself from the comfy couch to…
Minted Giveaway!
Minted stationary has come through my mailbox a few times, mostly from my friend Haley. She sends Christmas cards from them and the quality is always really wonderful. I have also seen some of their business cards and was impressed with those as well. And, well, I just like pretty paper. Here is a lovely quote…
An Evening at Target
Our church is located pretty close to a Target. Why do you need to know this information? Well, the fact that it is geographically convenient for me to go shopping there on a Wednesday night, that’s why. I have church choir rehearsal on Wednesday evenings. And Tim is either home with the children, or I…
Stolen Moments
My kids are busy these days. Between school and the activities after, and well…. Minecraft, they have a lot going on. 
I was just thinking how my days of “playdates”, full of tots crawling around my living room and coffee with other moms of little ones are virtually over. Everybody in this house has…
Blessings
Sometimes when I look at my life I wonder how things fell into place so easily. I say, “easily”…. Because even though life is not perfect around here or well, anywhere that I know of, mine has been full of people who love and care for me since day one. It is hard to believe…
Old School Blogging – April
Old school blogging was QUITE the hit last month so Heather (@ThetaMom) and I are SO excited to do it again. The response was WAY more than we expected and well, we just LOVE that. I guess we do like to go back to the “good old days” a little, huh? We REALLY hope you’ll join…
My First Engagement Photo Shoot!
My trip to Texas last week also included a pretty special photo shoot (or 2). My niece (and first godchild!), Megan is getting married next year and she asked me if I would take some engagement photos for her and her fiance, Daniel. I of course, could not say YES fast enough. We had a…
Nine Years Ago…
…I became a mother. It was a crazy but amazing and life-changing day. And sometimes it feels like just yesterday and other times it feels like a really long time ago. Ben is my smart, funny, emotional, sensitive, handsome boy with lots of questions and a penchant for accents. He does a pretty good British…
Blissdom ’13 – The Recap
From the moment Nicole told me that she would pick me up at the airport, I knew Blissdom was going to be pretty awesome. And despite the fact that my sweet roommate Kim got sick, it was quite wonderful. We kicked it off with a wonderful photo walk on Thursday afternoon where I finally got…
