I am trying to avoid tearfully typing out my usual “my-babies-are-growing-up-too-fast” emotional spiel. But there is truly something magical and also something very painful in watching your babies grow up. There is. Even though this is obviously the goal…well it just happens so fast. I think I get more excited about their birthday parties than [...]

A Day in the Life
Tomorrow is a ditl (a day in the life) day and I will fall asleep with my camera next to me so that I can click away at the moments that make up my world. The idea is that you photograph your entire day once a week and then post a photo story with all [...]
making do until spring gets here…
I can’t wait to show this to Chloe in the morning. I told her she was helping her garden grow. Outside it has been warmish and the sun has been lovely but the world is still brown and grey smoosh. A taste of the sunshine has us dreaming of flowers, blue skies, green grass under [...]

Her stories are long, elaborate, beautiful, and strange.

Beautiful Holiday Outfits from IGIGI
I was a little nervous ordering my Beautiful Holiday Outfit from IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel. There were so many absolutely gorgeous items to choose from but ordering clothing online has resulted in huge disapointment in the past. I chose the Francesca Dress in black hoping for that perfect “little black dress” and it is exactly [...]
christmas card photo.
Somewhere amidst all the fighting screaming tantrums are these two beautiful sweet kids. I can cross ordering the christmas cards off my list. Now I must convince myself to haul the tree out of the basement. I swear I just wrestled that thing down there last week. This is a fun aside…when Choe is having [...]
