One of the most common misconceptions in our somewhat screwed up society, is that there is a magic number that makes someone an adult.

I fell in love with this picture of the little guy the second that I saw it. It’s simplicity, it’s technically incorrect composition and style, it’s coloring and appeal. Everything about this photo made me love it, because it speaks of the heart of a boy. A heart of a little boy who longs to […]

This weekend we have been pretty low-key and relaxed. The hubs had to work yesterday, so I did some more work on Project 16:9 [which you can read all about right here], worked on the little guy’s baby scrapbook, and started brainstorming some ideas for the new Photoshop Elements Workbook I’ve decided to put together.

  I didn’t realize until I started uploading these photos from my iPod that I had taken so many this week. Which I guess that’s a good thing considering I only took three last week. So here you go. Much more Instagram fun for you this week.                 […]

I have spent a lot of my life the past five or six years trying to convince God to show me what my “purpose” was in life. During all of my Wedding Planning, I journaled about the ups and downs of trying to master a perfect ceremony, find the right wedding dress, and how our […]

You know those really amazing days in life? Not everything has to go absolutely perfectly. Our schedules aren’t right on the dot, and we don’t accomplish all that we intended to accomplish. But instead, we find ourselves feeling fresh…new…rejuvenated…and filled with hope. That was my day yesterday. I woke up and spent almost two hours […]
