Being a business owner scares me. Not because of money. Or liability. Or fear of messing up someones blog or website. Those things could be bad; cataclysmic even to my business or my reputation. Those things worry me, but they aren’t the things that I dwell on. Those things that leave me antsy here […]

I’m not a stickler for rules. In my opinion some rules were meant to be broken: In terms of photography, the rule of composition can be broken and you can still score a beautiful photo; In terms of design, some fonts that are just “not useable” can be used to create something great (unless we’re […]

I’m excited to have Tonya from Letters for Lucas here to be today’s Feature Friday Blogger! Her blog is always full of encouragement and inspiration. I love popping over to see what she has going on and I always come away feeling encouraged; either because she’s made me laugh or stirred something in me emotionally. She’s […]

Make sure you check these two posts out! My desire to learn photography and own an SLR camera came from the desire to achieve […]

One night recently, the family was sitting around the table. We were having some Bible study time. Now that the girls are a bit older and we feel they can really hash out some principles, we’re trying to be faithful in that area. Honestly, it’s a practice we should have started long ago but we […]

This has been a somewhat rotten week. Little Man and I have both been sick. First him with a crazy-high temperature and stuffy nose, and now me with a fever and some crazy, nasty sinus issues going on. Thankfully, the husband hasn’t gotten sick yet because nothing is worse than a “man cold” we need someone […]

I don’t know about you guys, but I am completely addicted to Starbucks Cake Pops. I tweeted out the other day that not only had I eaten one but two of those little devils while walking around the Safeway. In my defense, I didn’t deliberately buy two just for myself. I bought one for myself and […]
