slow down summer…

I don’t know about you, but I’m trying to live in the moment and be fully aware. When life gets crazy busy, it’s easy to fall into survival mode. I don’t like survival mode. So I am fighting it, and making time for the things that matter…even if it means working late into the night.

looking forward…

I have so many things that I’m looking forward to right now. But it’s really more about my attitude than “things”. I woke up feeling hopeful. Nothing major going on, just more of a sense of hope than ever. I think the holiday weekend put some things in perspective for me. Rather than just being...

summer living….

earlier this year, probably early spring, Tom and I had a discussion about some of the things we wanted to do this summer. One of the things we agreed on was that we wanted to really enjoy time by the pool. With last summer being so cool and wet, we were really anxious for a...

some shrine bowl snaps and updates…

This past weekend was such an enlightening, great time. I went into the weekend, knowing that I would be spending 10 hours in training for Royal Family Kids’ Camp. I will admit that I wasn’t super jazzed about sitting indoors for that amount of time. I am an outdoor girl all the way : )...

Leah’s weekend…

On Sunday, she was confirmed, but the weekend actually started on Friday night, with a dessert bar and night of testimony speeches from the confirmands. I had spent some time late Friday afternoon with Leah, doing her makeup...

family part 2…

It’s been so long since I’ve shared family images that I have to do it in 2 parts! But first I have a little giveaway : ) I haven’t done one forever and thought it was time that I said “thanks” in a small way. I appreciate every one of you! I bought “Flea Market...

whirlwind….

that’s the word that best describes this past weekend! We were flying around all over the place, but it was all good. We celebrated 3 family birthdays, Jake’s first communion, took Addison’s 3 year photos, went to church and even hit an antique mall. I took over 1000 photos in 3 days! I think that’s...

happy april….

and happy 5th birthday to Molly!

I just love her sweet silliness.

It’s so hard to believe that she is turning 5. Time goes by WAY too fast.
All week I’ve been talking about how I challenged a group of my friends to start blogging. Surprisingly enough, they took me up on my challenge….they say I coerced them,...
