Sometimes we wish we could fly away... But that isn't why we are here. We are here to be tireless hands, lifting each other up. We are here to be humble servants, praying on our knees. We are here to be kind words, filling up empty hearts and wanting ears. There are...
Psalm 121:6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. Stargazing with Nate... It may be my favorite thing to do. After a long day, after my head is spinning, after I'm just plum wore out... To listen to his questions about the moon, To listen to his...
Hello sweet letters waiting to be written... I love stationery from Creative Paper Trail. Andrea is amazing. I love her work. Hello baby girl, so proud to dry your hair with a towel, just like your aunts. Hello pinto beans, waiting to accompany my awesome cornbread....

It was a simple trip over to Fountain Hills, AZ... Just fifteen minutes east to get a little change of scenery from the heat. What I didn't do was watch the weather channel before we left. I didn't know a monsoon was headed our way. We ate at our favorite local...
Now, to put the grandmothers at ease... All children came home healthy and happy from the first day of school. They made new friends, found old friends and had plenty of stories for Mr. B and me. What follows is how my first day of school went. A true mommy's...

Murphy waited patiently as we built his house. When I say we I mean 'the boys'. Homeboy has some mad breakdancing skillz. I wonder if he'll be on SYTYCD one day. That would be so cool. Mr. B is so great at teaching the kids. This means I don't have to do assembly very...
Hello sweet little boy who should have been asleep hours ago. Hello, Spotty. Our favorite doggy since we were three from Aunt Theresa. Hello, favorite phrases from this week: "Ha Ha, you guys are all wet in the pool, and I'm up here as dry as a pickle" "Mom, we should...
La Hacienda Ranch... oh how I miss thee. The Gaylord Texan. Stunning. One tall Texan. New favorite Denton Restaurant. {Thank you, Aimee!} Flying home to AZ. Always good to be home! Happy Friday! ~Kate
The best for last... Lee is a musician and a photographer. He was so kind and so very professional. His advice on light was priceless. Any lady would be lucky to date him...
Rochelle. Stunning. She was so stunning I almost didn't know how to photograph her. We worked it out...
Cali.... She was so easy to coach and knew exactly what positions to hit. Quiet, kind and sincere. She was so very easy to photograph. Thank you, Cali
Bonnie is beautiful and kind and lovely. As Aura's office manager, she effortlessly takes care of a huge client base. Everyone loves Bonnie. The more I hear about Bonnie, the more I want to be on her team.
Ali. Wow. She was Lee's stylist. She wasn't there to 'model'. I'll let these pictures speak for themselves... I think she is born to model. Ali, I am so privileged to work with you. Thank you for taking a chance and getting behind the camera! ~ Kate...
This was my first. My first photo shoot for Aura Salon. I am so thankful to them for giving me a chance to work with them. They took a risk on a relatively new photographer {me} and I am so grateful. The Song is Carolina Liar - "Show me What I'm Looking For" Location:...
When Gussy put this prompt up, I honestly thought about skipping this week. I don't talk about my typical day very much here on the blog. I am one of "those" moms. I am a working mom. I am a Sales Operations Manager, specializing in RFPs and contracts. Sounds fancy,...
I'll be praying for you. On my knees asking our Savior to keep you safe. Pounding my chest to make the storm pass. Listening to the thunder to know when I should run to your side. I'll be praying that you see beauty in the color. And beauty in the design. {Thank you,...
I put a frame around that picture just for you. You're welcome. This might be a long post, I can feel it... so bear with me. I promise I'll try to be my Tina Fey funniest? Ok?! K. I knew I wanted to hang these up... And I knew I wanted to have a cross wall again. I've...
Flagstaff, AZ. The Lowell Observatory. Looking out over Route 66. A beautiful letter at the Lowell Observatory about naming Pluto. Happy Friday! ~Kate
