Part of the reason that I want to grow in my photography is so that I can capture the everyday life around me. We go on this trip to Winter Park every year but each year is so different because the kids grow and change and learn new things! I don't want to miss out on these moments.

The weather was so nice, we figured we could make it in our Chaco boots but there were definitely times when snowshoes would have been a better option! ... continue reading...
Wheat Cinnamon Rolls
I am not a cook and I am also not really a baker, but I come much closer to baking than cooking. I think I just love the mixing of flours and sugars - something yummy can only come from those beginnings. This year I've been making more bread because I finally rearranged my kitchen and put my bread maker in an easy to reach place.
