This weekend was an awesome family-filled weekend! On Saturday we celebrated the 4th of July with a fantastic Gagnon family reunion. Family came from all over, even Wisconsin, Texas, and Japan! There was tons of amazing food, a Bags tournament, a slip N slide, fireworks, hula hoops, and TONS of fun! It was so great …

Gratitude Project: Part 3
With yesterday being the 4th of July, I am reminded yet again of everything I have to be thankful for. We are very blessed to have so many brave men and women who stand up for our country and fight for our freedoms and our rights. It’s hard not to feel exceedingly grateful to our …
My Little Brother Got Married!!
Well you may have noticed the lack of activity on our social media sites the past few days. I’m taking today to get re-organized after wedding weekend madness, but I thought I’d take a few minutes to post a little something for you all. Crazy to think that my little brother (who is much taller …
Gratitude Project: Part 2
I may be out of the office today, but I wanted to try and make sure I still have some blog posts for you this week. And today I thought I’d share some more of my Gratitude Project with you! I’ve been continuing to try and capture the little things that bring me joy each …
Gratitiude Project: Part 1
If you’ve read my previous post about what I’ve been reading lately, you will have seen that I recently finished reading “One Thousand Gifts.” It was a great book and really got me thinking, really pushed me to start working on improving myself. So I decided to take the author’s advice and start a list …
My Reading List and Some Insights….

This whole reading frenzy started a few weeks ago when the book “Boundaries” by Cloud and Townsend was recommended to me by a friend. It’s a really great read about setting limits and who having limits doesn’t make you a bad person …
Congrats to the Class of 2013 and Especially My Baby Brother, Jeremy!
Well today is Friday and it’s a big day in my family. My youngest brother, Jeremy, is graduating from high school today. It’s such a surreal feeling knowing that after today he will be embarking on anew stage in his life! I remember when this little boy came home from the hospital and how much …
To All the Broken Hearted, The Childless Mothers…
To all the broken hearted, the childless, the women who’ve lost a child, and those who’s deepest desire is to be a mother but have been denied that blessing. Today I want to honor you! Mothers everywhere were lavished with love and affection yesterday. Gifts of fingerprint paintings, smudged drawings, and flowers picked fresh from …
My Wedding Ring…
Ryan and I were sitting here talking last night, as we often do. I was telling him about one of the wedding photographers I follow who just celebrated her 7th wedding anniversary and her husband bought her a new wedding ring from Tiffany’s. It’s a beautiful ring, truly, but it got me to thinking and …
Five Years…
Five years…. It simultaneously seems like a really long and a really short time. In the grand scheme of life five years really isn’t that long, but at the same time, I can’t really recall a time Ryan wasn’t a part of my life… nor can I imagine my life without him in it. Five …
