I grew up not participating in Halloween. I grew up with the lights off. We spent the evening in my parents bedroom - where we were allowed to watch TV and eat pizza and all the candy we wanted. Those nights were wonderful and perfect. I can remember the velvet...
On Saturday, Lauren and I did a sneak peak at our next adveture. We opened up my home and had a fun session called 'All Dressed Up'. We wanted to create a relaxed feel where people could get fun pictures of their kids without the craziness of Wednesday evening. I...
I love the moments that slow me down. I was caught up in checking my email and looking at facebook and something caught my eye. This swing is out the window that is to the right of my shoulder when I am on my computer. I snuck out of the front door hoping to leave him...
You might remember that Angie's Kettle Corn sent me some Kettle Corn to review and give away for my Dream Chaser celebration! Well, y'all they didn't just send a few little packs - they sent an entire box full of each kind! They are so generous and made me feel like a...

The first day - the very first day - after I left 8-5 behind, I had the priveledge of photographing Audrey's birthday party. I was shadowing LaurenJean as a 2nd photograper, picking up amazing tips and tricks. I love photographing birthday parties. I get to stand back...
The week was filled with more favorite things. I took mom and dad to The Simple Farm - my favorite local farm. My truest challenge is to cling to simple with both hands. I am a plate filler. If there are five extra minutes, I tend to cram an extra activity into that...
Julia and I recently went to Target to pick up the Cypher Kids Club cards. I was so very happy that she decided to go along with me. I love her company when I am shopping. The kids both have iPads (thank you Grandma and Papa!) and they love using them. Julia reads her...
Last week was fall break for the kids. Months ago, momma had offered to come stay with the kids during the break. When I gave my two weeks notice, I called and asked if she would still come. Not only did she say yes, she surprised me and dad hopped on the plane, too....
Last week, I ordered the CD that Holly from Decor8 blogs to - Au Revior Simone, The Bird of Music. I was sure that this would accelerate my writing into Shauna Niequist-like beauty. I would listen to it tonight - the opening night of my future. I would bare my soul...
My friend, Antonio, and I sing on Sunday mornings together. He asked if I would record some harmonies with him - and it has been a blast! This time, he made a video. I know - I look like I am nervous or concerned... I'll work on that next time. 🙂 Have a great day!...
I love this room. It's where I can lay down and just listen to Julia play piano while I go through the mail. Did you know that World Market is hosting a shopping spree? Oh, the fun I would have with this room! A new couch, some new art... HGTV Passport to Style...
Have you been counting down with me? Thank you for all your support and excitement over the mystery countdown! Today is the day. I am leaving my day job to be a dream chaser. I am leaving 8-5 behind to be a lover of the light! (Mumford and Sons - Holla!) Today, I am...
On Sunday afternoon, I snuck out to head to Walmart. The kids were perfectly happy watching Gravity Falls on T.V. and relaxing. The weather is cooling off here, so I wanted to be sure they spent some time outside. Nate loves to skateboard in the cul-de-sac. At...

Walking down the street, Julia found where Mr. Potato Head has been hiding all these years. He looks happy with his window shopping on an off-the-beaten-path antique store road. He said to tell you all 'hello'.
I could blame it on the weather cooling off or maybe the huge, amazing moon that bid us goodnight as we drove home tonight. I could blame it on the bandwagon I have hitched my horses to - the new Mumford and Sons album. From the holland road well I rose and I rose,...
