I’ve been caught in the mental trap lately of feeling like I’m not doing enough – or doing it well enough – it most areas of my life. When I up the effort in one area, I feel like the others drop even lower on the quality scale. This is even more upsetting when those […]

Such a fun opportunity today!!! I’m waaay thankful to Jenna and Megan for reaching out to me to see if I’d be interested in guest hosting this week’s Hump Day Happenings! This link up is a lot of fun, and it’s always interesting to me to find new voices each week as I look through […]

It was a great start to the week yesterday when I was nominated by Tidy Your Temple for the One Lovely Blog Award! Such a pleasant surprise, THANK YOU!!

Y’all, it’s been a little while since my last senior portrait shoot… and I’m so glad to get back into the swing of things with the beautiful Amanda!! She will be graduating this December from SFA, and although she is completing her internship this semester outside of Nacogdoches, she made a point to get her […]

Today I’m headed out to one of my most favorite places… San Diego! I can’t wait to be out there with my amazing family. I’ll get to have quality time with both sides of my family, and I really can’t wait. The beauty of San Diego is a highlight, but it’s nothing compared to spending […]

“Ugh…. I haaaaaate this picture of me!” “O my gosh I look awful!” “I’m soooo not photogenic!”   We’ve all heard it (or something along those lines). I’d be willing to bet we’ve all said it at some point or another. If it’s not 100% perfect, or completely airbrushed, we say it’s not good. We […]

One thing I’m doing at the moment is participating in the amazing Nikki Elledge Brown’s A Course About Copy Summer School. We’re two days in, and I’ve kept up so far. It’s tough to not want to read every. single. comment. Such a great variety of folks hanging out and sharing their WHY and how […]

A BIG HUGE thanks goes out to those of you who check-in each day and read along. You mean more to me than you know! You’re […]
