A Kitchen Spoon

August 26, 2015

I hear his voice coming from the kitchen. “Pease. Helpa, helpa.” I consider that maybe teaching him these sweet words, convincing words, may be backfiring.  Reluctantly I leave my warm cup of coffee next to my cozy spot on the couch and round the corner into the kitchen.

“A portrait of my baby boy, once a week, every week, in 2015.” January 10th, 2015: The Zoo is a special place for our family. Sunny days wandering around. This little guy still isn’t quite walking, steps yes, standing yes, but not quite walking. I am so excited for the days where we can all stroll together, […]

Happy Mail Happy Hour + Minted GIVEAWAY!

February 4, 2015

My favorite part of any holiday is that it encourages community. I get so caught up in the comings and goings of life, I find it easy to forget to reach out to people and tell them how important they are to me. But when a holiday like Valentine’s Day rolls around, I get excited about […]
