This is me at three months old. I was born with a full head of hair and it never fell out. I've had lots of dark hair ever since. My hair has been medium or long since I was a kid, and it has always been thick and prone to tangling. It was long all... Continue Reading →
Mother’s Day Giveaway!
Hi friends, I try not to 'cross the streams' here, but I am really excited about the giveaway I'm running through my photography website. It's a message that I feel strongly about, as you know.

Bad Jeans
I hate jeans shopping. I would say I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns, but I don't even have that energy for that; jeans shopping just saps my energy and my will. It's just so defeating and seemingly pointless, because nothing ever feels right or fits right. This helpful and hilarious post/series... Continue Reading →

My best tips for Packing and Moving

Yet I think I do have some helpful things to share about the packing/moving process. And today marks two years ago that... Continue Reading →
How We Keep Our House Clean
Hang on a sec, let me finish laughing. Hahahahaha. "Clean." Hahahahaha. That's hilarious. We are kind of slobs. Wait, that doesn't sound right; we aren't dirty or living in filth or anything. We just get lazy about things like vacuuming and dusting. It's not a priority for us. And I'm hoping that we're not the... Continue Reading →
