Hubs and I celebrated Valentine's Eve yesterday with flowers and some great conversation, what more could a girl want? But of course a little dinner date will be in order for this weekend and were gonna shoot for a late night and head out after the baby goes down, so smart right?  It was a light…

So I thought it was quite the scene when my sister strapped her Manduka yoga mat to the back of her Harley motorcycle to go to yoga practice. What a pairing, so I took a picture. That picture made it to Facebook and with the suggestion of a dear friend was sent into Manduka, who contacted us quickl…

It was cold and even snowed a bit this weekend, but my trusty new sweater blanket took care of all my heating needs. Also it doubles as a nursing cover and blanket for kiddos; I love multi-tasking garments!

Husband and I had some good chats this weekend. My favorite talk was over fleshing out an actual shed studio for my little photography biz! One side would host the backdrops and lighting equipment but the other would be a small seating area and the little loveseat would pull double duty as a prop f…

If my 6 month old could speak he would say, "I got it" in other words I can do everything by myself....sit, stand, and eat! I'm just left to watch in awe and wonder, but also reminded to revel in these little fast moments.

Moms and their babies in pretty homes.
A great explanation with …

The kind and generous people over at Shabby Apple boutique are offering you a lovely dress, perfectly in time for Valentine's day. I knew you had nothing to wear and figured one of their darling dresses or skirts would fit the bill. To enter the giveaway there are two requirements: 1. "Like&…
