All Hallows’ Eve

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...

Awake | Eyes Wide Open

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...

On Sunday morning, I headed over to meet a friend for breakfast on the square in Prescott. Keri and I met in real life for the first time at Craft Weekend. {Trivia fun fact:  Tonight I noticed that we are checking out together in the picture at the antique store AND...

One giant hug…
