Isaac: UGH gross your new hand soap smells like Desitin Me: Desitin…the diaper rash cream?? Isaac: YES Me: How do you know what Desitin smells like? Isaac: You know, from when you’re a baby and you have to have diaper rash cream put on you (giving me a look that says DUH) Me: Ummmm no,…
It’s officially getting into the holiday season, ya’ll! The last few weeks I have been observing my own personal holiday. It is called “defriend Facebook friends who make ignorant posts, especially regarding our current President or any of the candidates running for Presidency.” I have “defriended” close to 20 people. Another 20 or so have…
As an ex-coffee drinker, I no longer get excited about the oh-so-popular Pumpkin Spice Latte making its grand reentrance this fall. Instead, the photographer in me is excited about gorgeous backdrops. The writer/reader in me can’t wait for the chilly weather excuse to stay inside all weekend curled up with my laptop and a book.…
One of the most powerful speeches I have ever seen was given by Ric Elias, a man who sat in the front row of the plane that crashed into the Hudson River in 2009. His speech is titled “3 things I learned while my plane crashed.” In less than 6 minutes, Ric summarizes what takes…
Isaac: I really wish you would put pictures in the frames on your wall Me: Why? Isaac: It’s just weird, it’s been almost a year. You’re not nesting Me: I have totally nested, look at the rest of my room! Anyway, I kind of like the people in the frame now. I’m used to them,…

My phone’s face time feature connected with my sisters’. Liam gasped and said “who’s dat!?” Char and I burst into laughter, he had never said that before! How funny, innocent, and surprising a 16 month old can be. This boy has stolen my whole heart! I could not be more thankful to live in a…
Something I cannot stand: when people say “that’s retarded”, referring to something they don’t like or a friend acting silly. It makes me cringe and I usually can’t restrain myself from saying “please don’t say that, it’s offensive.” I’m never one to tell people what they can or cannot say, it’s your own reputation and…
This weekend was exactly what I needed after my tear-filled Friday. I slept until almost 1pm on Saturday, ate BBQ, visited the in-laws, went hiking, did a family/maternity photo shoot, went wedding suit shopping with Isaac, and we booked our Honeymoon! Here are a few pictures from the over 400 that I took this weekend.
At 6:00 this morning the theme song from the television show Dexter erupted from my phone, letting me know it was time to wake up for work. I hit snooze a few times and when my “final warning” alarm went off, I knew it was already too late to do my hair. Yesterday I worked…
