Gift A Special Moment in Time

  This blog post is kindly sponsored by pictureframes.com. All thoughts expressed are my own. You wouldn’t believe I was a professional photographer if you walked into our house. It’s unbelievable how few photos I have printed and framed. I spend so much time creating beautiful images for my clients that I more than neglect to do the same for our family. I’ve been so convicted of that lately. I REALLY desire to have our special moments covering our walls.  Which brings me to my next point, I recently discovered pictureframes.com and was blown away by all of the options before me! I honestly felt like a…

WHO Takes Your Photos??

If I had a dime for every time someone asked me, ‘who takes your photos?’…. One of the most unbelievable concepts for my friends, peers, and strangers (basically everyone) to process, is that my eleven year old son has been taking my pictures since he was 9. Before you think that is just crazy talk. Don’t underestimate the talent children have! So how did this all start? Well, for a little while now I’ve been creating digital content for brands. I found myself hating life when trying to use a tripod. The camera never focused on the area I needed…

Gravity Falls Halloween Costumes

Not sure how it works in your family, but in ours, we try to rotate who picks the theme for our costumes each year. Then we vote (that process is THE worst). We could not agree on a theme to save our lives and we almost (dare I say it) did our own individual thing.…

Our New American Standard Shower

This blog post is kindly sponsored by American Standard. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. You guys, it’s happening. We’ve decided to replace our old bath tub with a new American Standard Passage Collection Shower. For those that don’t know, our bathroom has always been a thorn on my side, ha! Not sure why, but the master bath in our home is the smallest of all the bathrooms. Truly frustrating. Years ago we tried to give our bathtub a face lift with a small DIY project. It was ok for a while, but it was never what we’d…

Back to School Snack Ideas

This blog post is sponsored by Sargento. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. How has summer come to an end? I know I say that it flies by every year, but it felt especially rushed this time. None the less we’re in full blown back to school mode over here! We’ve done all…

Box Tops, Simplified!

This post is sponsored by General Mills. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Get excited because the days of clipping Box Top’s off your favorite snacks are a thing of the past! Much like everything else these days, Box Tops have gone digital. Super convenient right? Sit down, relax, and retire those scissors, mama’s!…

Rethink Breast Cancer

A loaded headline, isn’t it? It’s scary to connect those words in a sentence. For some it can feel very distant and unfamiliar. Others know the weight of breast cancer all too well. I remember packing up and loading our car a few summers ago. Excited to start another beach house vacation week. I had…
