My oldest son has a stuffed puppy dog. She’s been with our family six years come December.  She was a one of the Christmas gifts he received that very first year he was born. He was barely two months old, not even big enough to sit up yet. My aunt wrapped him up in a […]

It has rained a lot since we moved to North Carolina. I laughed and told my husband that I thought we were going to be getting away from the rain after leaving Kodiak, but I’m pretty certain that it’s rained as much as it did there. With rain comes frogs. Lots and lots of them. I’ve lost […]

Logging into WordPress to write a blog post and immediately being presented with the space to create a Title for my post is a bit overwhelming. I usually don’t even know what I want to write when I sit down to write. Typically just allowing the words to flow when I come to write them. […]

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 thanks for all of the AMAZING feedback I received on my post this week about creating habits of materialism in our children.

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 […]
