Last week I had the huge privilege of going to El Paso with Chris and Noonday and shooting the 2014 Lookbook. They hired Chris as the photographer for the shoot and me and two other girls wore their amazing items for the photos. They didn’t ask me to post a thing about my time there […]

White Christmas by Katy Perry on Grooveshark Decorating for Christmas always makes my heart soar. I never can wait until December first. I try, I really do…yet never can. This weekend our tree came and we pulled down our decorations from the attic, put on Hotel Cafe Christmas music and made an afternoon of it. […]

My precious Danielle came in from New York this weekend and stayed with our family. I wish that I had the words to describe the ways that she has blessed me this year but the truth is I don’t even know where to begin describing it. She came into my life at a time when […]

I am holding my breath to even write this post. Last week we went to a Kindergarten information meeting at a school that we think the world of. I looked up at the ceiling, bit my lip and did everything I could possibly do to not let the tears start flowing in front of everyone […]

I have mentioned a few times that we made the decision to keep Aiden home for pre-k this year. We have him in tennis, soccer & speech but have never dropped him off anywhere (besides church on Sundays) so for various reasons we decided that I would teach him at home this year. It’s such […]
