My dearest Blake,  Eleven years old. You have grown into the most beautiful young woman and it has been an honor to watch.  As we have made this big life change and settled into life in Tennessee, it has been a joy to watch you revel in all of the new and exciting things. There […]

One area of photography that I have been wanting to dive into (see what I did there? Wink!) is underwater photography and this was the year to do it. While I am not moving into the fine art arena anytime soon, I have loved using my iPhone to create portraits of my kids in their […]

Over the years I have come across countless women. Women who have a dream or have goals, who want something for themselves or something bigger for their family.

And with a kid like me, I guess you would want an entire case of available help. From climbing neighborhood fences […]

We had many discussions leading up to our 1600 mile trek to Nashville. The idea of it seemed a tad daunting, but not overwhelming since our kids handle road trips pretty well. However, I wanted to make sure we did what we could to make it as enjoyable for them as possible. Between what they […]

To the babes that made me a mother five times over. To the five who make me brave. Who make me strong. Who make me soft. Who make me patient. Who make me laugh. Who make me more me than I ever could have on my own. To the five who said yes to a […]
