A few weeks ago we got to get away on a girls trip! It was a much needed time away from all my normal responsibilities, for sure! I went with my Mom and two sister-in-laws to spend time away exploring and enjoying being together in the oldest city in America – St. Augustine. We learned […]

This last month for us has meant everyone being home all the time, as I’m sure it has for you, too. At first it definitely took some adjusting, we were just not used to being around each other 24/7 with no real breaks or outings. Finding a new normal took a couple weeks, but we […]

Back in September my whole side of my family went together on vacation to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. And in case you didn’t know, my family isn’t small – I grew up with four brothers and there are currently seven grandchildren! We got to stay in this amazing house just ten minutes walk […]

A couple weeks ago our whole family went out to South Carolina and Georgia for a week long family vacation on Hilton Head Island. It was a very welcome break from our every day lives, and I got to do one of my favorite things: explore! I knew when we were planning this trip that […]

For a long while now I’ve been wanting to try out film again. The last time I played with film photography was back in high school (*cough, ahem, like 15 years ago) and back then it was all black and white. I learned how to use a camera using film, and not only that we […]

We’re wrapping up May which means we’ve also officially finished up our first year of homeschool. And it means our not-so-little-anymore Evan has graduated from Kindergarten! I […]

I have a confession to make – I don’t like pictures of myself when I’m pregnant. My body changes and looks so very different that its hard to see past the swelling and the size changes I go through. But this pregnancy I knew that if this was our last baby, I knew I’d want […]

Abe and I have been married almost 8 years now, and its amazing as I sit here and reflect on just how much has changed in 8 years for us. When we got back from our honeymoon, we packed up our car and wedding gifts and drove across the country from Colorado to Virginia to […]

Last year I started up a series I’ve called my Heritage Series. It all started when my Dad sent me an old family photo and asked if I could clean up some of the scratches and signs of age from it, and it made me realize just how much I enjoy not only learning about […]

As Abe and I went out for a date night the other evening, I glanced at Abe and thought about whenever we go out all we seem to do is talk about is our kids (and maybe laugh a little at them too). But as I glanced over at him, my mind suddenly raced back […]
