I know I am not the only one whose body goes a little crazy with the time change. I lay in bed at night unable to fall asleep and I set a thousand alarms in the morning in hopes to get up. It takes me a good week or two to feel back to normal - with all that being said, Daylights Savings in not my cup of tea. However, I need it. The BLESSING of getting off work and having the sun still be out is magical. Can I get an amen from all the working peeps?! Last week Bruce and I were driving home ... continue reading...
Ring in Spring
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group®, PEOPLE®, and Real Simple® but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #SpringintoMeTime http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV I don't know how things are where you call home, but I can tell you that this girl (me) is pulling out the spring-wear.

Photo Books
If there is one object in my home that I love most, it would be my photo albums. Before Facebook and the digital age, I collected and scrap-booked so many photos. I have year books, scrapbooks of mission trips & high school camp, and piles of photos printed from Walgreens (with film!!) You know that whole question, "if your house was about to burn down what would you save?" Well, that was my reality in 2012 with the Waldo Canyon Fire in Colorado Springs. I had thought about that question ... continue reading...
Snapshots froM Texas
We flew into Texas a couple weeks back to be in our sweet cousin's wedding. Bruce and I were both in the wedding and we took full advantage of the opportunity and loved every minute. I took my DSLR along and my new lens in hopes of capturing some fun photos - turns out I only picked up a camera a couple of times. I mean it makes sense really, I was in the wedding, spending time with people, soaking up every moment, and didn't have time to whip out my camera. It was this lovely ... continue reading...
