Seattle Vacation Giveaway

I know this may be coming on a little strong for my first giveaway, but honestly I wanted to give something I would want to have…and there is nothing I crave more than little side trips to beautiful places with amazing food. For that reason I decided I want to give away a weekend vacation...

Crowd Pleaser

In honor of the past 2 1/2 years of blogging, I thought it would be fun to re-share some of the highest commented on posts. Some more recent than others… I love these faces (and belly’s & buildings…) AND places. Do I have the world’s greatest job? Yes, yes I do.

Picture Perfect

Sweet Baby Gavin

Read what Amorology has to say here. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Today I cried for Natalie, for Richie, for Gavin, for his brothers, for anyone who has lost a child or has come close to losing a child….or for anyone who has ever..”lost” period. For the time spent waiting. Waiting till we...
