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 […]

Another one of the many sites I’ve launched in the last few weeks. This site was a lot of fun to create and tested my “professional” side. Creating quality, professional and content appropriate logos and websites are always a challenge, but I think this site turned out great!  Make sure to check out Business Solutions, […]

Can you guys believe that next week is Christmas?! Have you done your shopping yet? I finished up yesterday (finally). The only thing I’m really lacking is a few more things for the little guys’ stocking. Stockings were always one of my favorites parts of Christmas growing up. Candy, tiny little trinkets that usually ended […]

Growing up, I didn’t get in a whole lot of trouble. I had my moments (like all kids), but for the most part I tried to mind my P’s and Q’s. I didn’t like punishment. I didn’t like disappointing my parents. So, I did whatever I had to to stay out of trouble. I remember, […]

Feature Friday is slowly becoming pretty much my favorite day of the week. Reading the fantastic posts that other bloggers so generously contribute; being able to spotlight said bloggers-those that I both admire and respect. What’s not to love? Plus, it gives me a much needed break from my regular blogging duties. I’m hoping to […]
