Today I'm guest blogging at Good tots, sharing Gideon's room tour!! Good tots is a fresh blog for moms by the lovely Jill teeming with wisdom, stylish clothes, and kid room tours! Be sure to head over there and check it out. Also don't miss out on Jill's gg's good life for less,…

Here's the room we spend the most time in and not just eating, but hanging out too!
The chairs are target online, horse-zgallerie, and light fixtures ny lighting.
 We made the pelmet out of wood with a nailgun then covered with batting and fabric.
Rug runner is ikea.
A touch of fall.

That head cold that my husband, sister, and kiddo all battled with has finally made it to me! I'll be holed up with a warm drink at home today. Kitchen pictures tomorrow, promise!

This weekend was full of fall fun..... we found an amazing park, threw rocks in the water, rode bikes, picked pumpkins, and finished the kitchen! Details on that tomorrow!

One of the sole reasons I work at the hospitals is to keep perspective. There's no way I can for one second think about myself as I tend people who shouldn't have cancer, disease, and heartache. This week I remain so thankful for all of the riches and I mean riches esepecially compared to t…

I love secrets. Not about people but to people. Ya know their idiosyncracies, oddities, quirks, and delights. It takes time and patience to unlock those hidden truths. The "getting to know each other thing" which my husband and I still work on daily believe it or not! This concept blew me…

He organized this most elaborate treasure hunt for Jill sending her to different locations throughout the D.C area each with a M…

Sweet kiki took some family photos of us for me!! Found out hubs will be unavailable for the ball, major bummer. But made the most of some ball gowns and used em for our pictures!! Smiles all around, that is except for Gideon who choose our picture day to uncooperate (putting it nicely!)

So thrilled to greet friday! This week was full and its certainly time to unwind. Plan on editing photos, capturing a home photoshoot, spending time with hubs, and trying to unsolve the great mystery of photoshop! Here's some inspiration from this week!

We've been busy shooting some beautiful people and little ones too! Its so much fun!

The traffic around these parts kinda runs our lives, such a shame! I'm dreaming of a slower pace and country loving like this dreamy wedding photographed by Terra Dawn, feast your eyes. 

Our weekend was jam packed and included a tour of the helicopter hangar, I've been a couple a times but remain amazed! Hardly ever wear lipstick but thought I'd be bold and go for coral to brighten the backdrop of all that dark green!

Happy Monday! These two rooms really caught my eye because of the blown up photographs! Just recently blew up one of my own really large, can't wait to show you! Love the look!
