I’m so beyond thrilled that I get to share another senior session with you guys and so quickly! I was absolutely giddy when Becca messaged me about scheduling her senior portraits.

Things to Know about International Adoption
Okay – so to start – I do not have first hand experience with international adoption, which means my knowledge is limited to what I learn from others. It’s also important to note that international adoption laws and process changes frequently so all information in this post is current as of October 2018. After my …

BIG Changes
If you’ve been following along for a while, you’ll recall that back in August (the day before my birthday in fact) we put our home on the market.

Marlee’s 18 Months Old
It’s hard to believe but this little lady of ours is officially a year and a half old! the time is seriously zipping by so fast and I’m constantly in awe of how big she’s getting. I’d say almost daily I say aloud “when did you get so darn big!?” With all of that growing …
Seven Years Past the Fire
Wednesday (October 10) marks the seven year anniversary of the day we lost everything in a house fire. It’s interesting because although that was a very real and life-altering experience – the benefits of it have far outweighed the heartaches of it. Sometimes I think that’s a gift of sorts… to be able to step …
Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness – Insensitivities in the System
I posted last week a little something for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. That same night we had our bi-monthly support group meeting and on the drive home I started thinking of some of those things that you just don’t know unless you’ve been through it. And for the record – I have not …
