I don’t know how many of you out there follow football, but Monday night was a big night for us Crimson Tide fans. Our beloved team beat LSU 21-0 in the BCS National Championship Game, bringing home National Title #14 for us Bamers. It was a great night to be a SEC Football fan. So, […]

Contrary to popular belief, I have my moments where I’m not always chipper, happy and positive (I know; hard to believe…). My grandma told me growing up that the longer I lived the more I’d realize that- life isn’t fair and people aren’t nice, but that as I got older I’d learn not to care. (Okay, […]

It took me some time to get on the train with the one word for the year hype. I spent a lot of time wondering whether or not just one word would suffice to keep me on track for the entire year. Could one word drive me to make the most out of every single aspect of […]

Is anyone other than me having a hard time getting into the swing of things now that Christmas and the holidays are over? What is it about that first week back that just seems to drag and drag and drag? I can’t seem to find a whole lot of motivation; which sounds funny considering how […]

Growing up I always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. My mom stayed home with my sister and I all during my school years. She was at every class party, every sporting event, joined the PTA…did all of the things that stay-at-home moms do. I knew that when it got time for me to have […]

Are you totally confused as to where you are? Don’t be.This is still the same place as it was before. Just…different. It’s hard to believe that 2011 has come and gone. What on EARTH?! This past year was a whirlwind. We said goodbye to Alabama January 7 and trekked across the country to our new life […]

This year we went out on a limb and gave our families a really custom and really sentimental gift. We sent gift cards, too just so they’d have something a little more “physical” to use for the holidays, but I think the highlight of their Christmas was this video we had made by our family […]

One of my favorite holiday traditions (now that I have a child, especially) is to send out cute Christmas Cards. Having learned how to use and work my way around Photoshop, I have a blast creating these cards every year. I did a few for friends and family last year and was excited to use […]

I left the work force to become a parent. I spend about 85% of my day-every day-just being a mother. Lots of things define the role of motherhood. The dictionary defines us as “a female person who is pregnant with or gives birth to a child.” And while technically that may be true, I’ve never […]

I received an email this summer from Dana requesting a logo and business material for a new salon she was opening. I didn’t realize it then, but the salon (and Dana) was opening right here on our own tiny little island in Alaska. How exciting to have been able to create material for a local […]
