I have chatted about fear before.  But that doesn’t mean I have overcome all of mine.  So here we are again… I’m thinking about the risks we take every day.  They may be large or small, but they still exist.  Every time you leave the safety of your own house there’s a chance that something […]

Happy December!!  It’s here the month I wait all year for.  It’s time for the magic and warmth that the holidays bring and the feeling of thankfulness that carries over from November.  I have so much to be thankful for, despite me not having jumped on the 30 days of thankful bandwagon, that doesn’t mean […]

I have been wanting to share this shoot from last year for awhile now… I waited until September and now it seems that September has come and gone so fast, I nearly missed it!  But today is the perfect day.  My beautiful model and friend for this shoot just gave birth to a sweet baby […]

I started this week off with a lovely vendor feature over on the Wedding Lovely blog.  Can I say, I’m just a little excited?  It’s my first feature, just a little interview with yours truly, but it’s kind of fun to be in the spotlight for a minute, I’m not going to lie (even though […]

Can we just talk about linens for a moment?  I just received three new gorgeous and sparkly new swatches in the mail and I could not be more excited.  I have stacks of sample books on my dining room table and sometimes I wander through JoAnn Fabrics just to find new and pretty patterns – […]
