I had always envisioned myself with three children. I had no idea how far apart they would be, what their genders would be or in what order they would go, but I wanted them in my heart, for a long time. There was a time when I thought the third child would never be for…

Holiday Rewind
Are ya totally over Christmas by now? Well, then you better click away. (please don’t) I took a break from the blog during the holiday but that means that I got a tad behind on posting some pics that I wanted to share and record for posterity – you know, the main reason I have…
Photo Bomb. I mean explosion. (2012 Review)
I took gobs and gobs of photos in 2012. (which reminds me that I need to do another back-up soon…) I took photos mostly of my kids and my family but I was blessed to take photos for other people as well. This year was a HUGE learning curve for me in regards to my…
The Real Santa
The Saturday afternoon before Christmas I was given the chance to go play Santa. Tim sent me off to go shopping for a bit and I was able to finish up my shopping (mostly for him!). I was so joyful, happy with my purchases, feeling the Christmas spirit in the chilly air and smiling on…
A Change in Me
My patience is often extremely thin with my kids. Many times I am ready to snap at any moment. I am always thinking about something else I need to do, accomplish, make clean or pick up (laundry or groceries or a kid, you name it). I go through my days rewinding a to-do list, mentally…
Without Children
I am going to be completely honest here. Because it’s my blog and I can do that. If I want. And because well, sometimes it’s good to write these things… So, here’s what is on my mind… Sometimes I wonder about people who do not have children. You know, adult, married people. Our society fully…
Like Forest Gump Said…
You know, it’s funny. I look back through the photos on my phone and I just have to laugh at the random-ness of my life sometimes. I mean yeah, typical “mom” stuff with pics of my kids, etc. But just like good ole Forest Gump said, “Life IS like a box of chocolates”, especially around…
Christmas Cheer is Here!
I was feeling a tad “Scrooge-ish” last week. Don’t know why exactly. Maybe because my husband was working practically non-stop and my holiday shopping duties were not anywhere NEAR done. Oh and also? I didn’t feel like my mantle was quite done, so to remedy ALL these feelings, I looked to retail therapy. I’m here…
LIfe in an iPhone
Once again, I am thankful for the little moments in my life that I can capture with my phone. My big camera has been reserved for photo shoots lately (I do ADORE my little side job!) so it seems that my kids and other life stuff gets recorded on my phone instead. So here’s my…
