I am filled to the brim with excitement! Not only is it Valentines Day, but I finally get to share my photographs from the styled shoot for Branches and Light! The theme was a Valentines Day wedding. The couple was so sweet and, no, they are not professional models! They totally could be, though! […]

I’m surrounded by my valentines on this wonderful day full of love. May you share your love with those around you! Happy Valentines Day! The middle photo of us was taken by my daughter’s preschool teacher, Joy Hall. Thanks for taking it for us, Joy! My husband knows how to steal my heart…Krispy Kreme donuts, […]

I have decided to take Sundays off from blogging my thirty photos in thirty days, but I did take the photo for day twelve yesterday (so I’m not really cheating – hehe). I just really need one day a week when I don’t touch my computer. This week, I will be featuring a couple projects […]

I’ll let this one speak for itself. See my board here.

I love “You Pick” strawberries, blueberries, or any fruit, really. It is a fun summertime adventure with kids (although they eat more than they contribute).  This morning, we partook in our bounty from last spring and made some pancakes covered in strawberries, strawberry syrup and whip cream.

Today was a little chilly. Okay, the high was 51 degrees, but I felt like a chilly weather treat. So I made a pot of hot chocolate. Yep, a whole pot. I added a little caramel, sea salt and whipped cream… so heavenly!

I love a good crock-pot recipe. Tonight I made a beer-braised pork and black bean soup that is pretty good and adds a little variety into our usual menu. One thing I like about it is that you just throw everything into the pot; there is hardly any prep time. It has a kick to […]

It was so beautiful today and my friend, Courtney and I decided to get out and take a walk (it was a loooong walk and we may have trespassed, but I’m not saying where). Before we headed out the door, I grabbed my camera because I was stumped on ideas for today’s photo. We stopped […]

Today started out superbly, which is amazing since it is the Monday after the Super Bowl. What made it so superb, you ask? I got up early. You see, I used to be a morning person before I started having children. That extra half hour I received before the kids got up this morning was […]
