I am finally beginning to get into the holiday spirit now that the weather has taken a turn toward being COLD [finally] and I’ve started Christmas shopping. Hubby and I adopted a child from the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree this year and I spent all day Tuesday shopping for him. I explained to Little Man […]

This past weekend I had the chance to photograph my little guy and my brother-in-law for my Mother-in-laws Christmas photos. It wasn’t too chilly and the wind stayed calm enough that we were able to snag quite a few cute photos for her to use. Unfortunately, I already ordered and had my cards delivered, so […]

Hello all! Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! I know we did! I’m still doing the “gobble wobble” after in taking waaaaay too much turkey, dressing, dumplings, and pecan pie.

Just wanted to remind everyone to get their posts for No Mom Talk Monday ready for tomorrow! We’ve been slacking on participants these past three weeks and I want that to change! If we can gather up at least 15 moms to join in, I’ll throw in a little surprise! {Think a *FREE* print from […]

Normally I don’t solicit for votes or clicks or nominations. I don’t beg for people to like me or anything like that. And I hope that this post won’t come across like that. I was blog hopping yesterday and ran across Momversation…another one of these fabulous little communities where mom bloggers can come together, inspire […]

Ahhh….I’m back from a very relaxing and busy weekend. As I mentioned, Saturday I went to Montgomery to meet up with Mandi and her family for a photoshoot. We had a great time and I was able to capture some really awesome photos of the three of them. Super, super excited about how they turned […]
