Elias had his first dentist appointment on Thursday. Since I wanted to capture it, I told Matthew I would take Elias and then drop both kids at school. When we got to the dentist, I tucked my camera and wallet in the diaper bag, not wanting to carry in my too big purse too. When [...]

Monthly sticker by Sticky Bellies Adeline turned six months old on December 23, so this is a little late, but I still wanted to post an update. (I wrote this as of December 23 so as not to confuse milestones.) Our sweet Adeline, you are such a little butterball of joy. At six months you [...]

Happy New Year! I enjoyed a long weekend with my family. Of course, it was still too short. Since I have been a bit quiet lately, I wanted to share 12 things on my mind. 1. Project Life:Tomorrow I have a big post scheduled all about Project Life. In it, I discuss my 2011 album, [...]
