There is so much on my heart that I want to share. Problem is, I don’t know exactly where to begin. First let me say that Josh and I felt (with abundance) the prayers that were directed our way during our time in Anchorage. I have been steady in my faith for a long, long time. […]

First I want to say thank you to all of you who have commented, messaged me, emailed me or just offered up a prayer for me. As of right now we are still waiting on THE final test result as far as whether or not this diagnoses is multiple sclerosis. They did an EEG, several […]

A little over a week ago I put out a plea on Facebook. A plea for prayer. Many of you who follow me on my personal Facebook page know that for the last eight months or so I’ve been battling long term bouts of vertigo and extreme dizziness and nausea. Dizziness to a point of […]

I’ve started to notice that my biggest baby, really isn’t a baby anymore. He doesn’t look like a baby. He doesn’t talk like a baby. He doesn’t play like a baby. We’ve bypassed and moved beyond the terms of “toddler” and “preschooler.” Noah’s just a kid. A full-fledged little boy with barrels of energy and […]

What’s it been? Almost two months since I wrote a post? Time goes quick, doesn’t it? Whole lotta things happened in two months. Jonah turned 6 months old. Then 7 months a few days ago. We went on vacation to Alabama. Our first trip off of this island in 2.5 years. Noah finished his first […]

I love being a business owner. I love that I have the flexibility to create my own hours, work around my husband’s schedule, spend time with my kids during the day, and take on the kind of work that makes me happy. I can photograph what I want. I can work with the brands that […]

I’ve never been a stick-thin model type person. I think the smallest I ever was was a size three. And that was waaaaay back in Junior High when I was finally able to fit my ridiculously short legs and oversized rear into a pair of jeans from the Junior’s Department. Even those didn’t last long. […]

This post is hard for me to write. But, I’m really struggling right now with parenting two boys. Not in a “I’m still sleep deprived” and “Having a baby is so hard” kind of way. But in a trying to show both of my boys how much I love them kind of way. Jonah is […]

I have a confession to make… living in Alaska has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. The summers here are beautiful and shiny and bright and full of sunshine and warm air (sometimes). Summer is full of camping and hiking and taking walks and trips to the park. It’s full of […]

…the last time that I laid down to go to bed and managed to get the “necessary” uninterrupted eight hours of sleep. …the last time I went to the bathroom on my own with no one peeking in on me or standing outside the door asking if I was done. Or asking whether I was […]
