Finally I can share these images.  Every other year we do family pictures for my mother-in-law as a gift for Christmas.  I can’t believe how grown up these guys are getting.  MAKE IT STOP!  Also it is weird that these 5 look like they could all be brothers and sisters instead of cousins? We did […]

This family is near and dear to my heart in so many ways! My sister, Julie, is the best and all who know her love her energy, hard work and FUN spirit. A few years ago she remarried and she and her new husband, Levi, created a beautiful blended family that we now affectionately call […]

When I decided to tackle our bathroom remodel all on my own, I knew I wanted to try to make a custom vanity that was as easy, quick and cheap as possible.  Usually you can get 2 of the 3 of those things but not all 3.  However, this vanity was pretty easy, didn’t take […]

As I have been looking back, I realized that I never shared these photos from last spring.  Time to share them now! Each year my sister and I get the kids together and do a photo session for my mom for Mother’s Day.  In 2019, we missed it!  Between the two of us, we have […]

Happy Thanksgiving!  What better day to share what I am grateful for in 2020 than today?  If you are looking for beautiful, professional photos….not the place.  If you are looking for a little glimpse into my life in 2020 and perhaps have a good little laugh…you are in the perfect place.   This year has […]

Last summer my mother-in-law excitedly called and let us know that she had found a great deal on a trip she had been dying to take.  We have all traveled together in the past and it has made for some wonderful memories, so she asked if we wanted to go with her to CUBA on […]

We have been living in our five year house for 17 years now!  Anyone else out there like that??   Now our house is slowly but surely becoming our forever home!  Over the last 17 years we have redone parts of the house that have made it much more conducive to living with 5 people in […]

Every year for the past 12 or 13 years my sister and I have gotten all of the grandkids together and had pictures taken for my mom for Mother’s Day. Back in the day we used to go to Kiddie Kandids or Portrait Innovations and had the pictures done.  But for the last 7-8 years, […]
