the one about desserts being delicious and not much else
Today has been one of those days that just begs to be improved with ice cream…..or chocolate……or doughnuts. That is an amazingly healthy attitude to have, I know. It is also the reason that I will probably still be trying to lose this “baby weight” […]
those left behind
I was watching a movie with my daughter last night, and it got me thinking about heroes. There is a reason that we love movies with super heroes…….because heroes always come out on top. Good always wins. When there is danger, and it seems […]

It’s almost Mother’s Day, and I am a fan. I am all about holidays that involve me getting gifts and special treatment. Even if the special treatment is slightly questionable breakfast in bed. 🙂 But, I love giving gifts, too. So…for Mother’s Day, I am […]

I am so excited to announce a new option for photo sessions. It is so awesome, that I totally want one for myself. I spent this Saturday shooting a session with an awesome family, in one of my favorite locations, but that is not even […]
A Gift Idea That Is A Guaranteed Win
With Christmas only a week away, I imagine most of you have your gifts all picked out and purchased. Unless you are like me….then maybe this idea could even help you now. I know it seems ages away, especially with Christmas looming, but I want […]
