Today there was a hurtful finality to our loss. The little baby with no heartbeat was still with me until noon today and now he/she is gone. A lot of how I am feeling and what I have to say is very raw and very real. Being honest yesterday even with some tears I felt […]

We lost our sweet angel baby at 12 weeks.  Looking at the little muffin in the sonogram with no heartbeat today was heart.wrenching… it actually hurt even worse than I could have imagined.  I am having surgery tomorrow to “deliver” our sweet little one.  And our roadtrip to California is postponed a few weeks now.  […]

I have had a number of people ask recently about posting “old” wedding photos! So here is just a taste of our day. Honeymoon pics coming soon as well… 

Well, I told you in this room post that we had done another room swap as well! Now that A Little Artsy is open we decided to move my studio for my art there and take my home studio and make it into a playroom!  The kids LOVE this room!

The new space opens tomorrow. We are thrilled, terrified, excited  & blessed….all in one. Our prayer is that little spirits are inspired and little hearts are filled. Adults too.  Our prayer is that God blesses this studio and that the word spreads quickly…filling classes. We give Him this space.  Open hands. Ready hands and ready […]

F aith is risking what is for what is yet to be. It is taking small steps knowing they lead to bigger ones. Faith is holding on when you want to let go. It is letting go when you want to hold on. Faith is hearing God’s yes when everything else says no. It is […]

I have been wanting to swap Aiden & Ainsleigh’s rooms for awhile now. Aiden’s room is the farthest away and really should be the nursery because it is the farthest from the noise. And not to mention that Aiden thinks our bedroom is his anyways so he wouldn’t mind giving up the bigger room to […]
