Over spring break this year we had a few different visitors throughout the week which meant we wanted to get out and explore lots of new places and things we don’t usually get to do. We made a trip to Cincinnati to visit the Cincinnati Art Museum one day and man, I wish we could’ve […]
This week is spring break for our kiddos and my mom is in town so we kicked it off with a trip the Krohn conservatory in Cincinnati yesterday. I saw a friend post about spending the day there recently and it peaked my interest. My mom absolutely loves butterflies so it seemed like the perfect […]
This week I was out shopping at the new Bargain Hunt here in Georgetown and I came across this rug with streets and a little town on it. My boys are all in when it comes to cars so I loaded it into my cart and brought it home with me. I surprised them with it […]
This is one of our favorite nights of the year! We were walking through Costco last week and found this dress and we knew it would be so perfect for her special date with daddy that weekend. She calls it her “spring dress” and put that flower headband with it – knowing it would look […]
It’s 2019 and I’m launching this new website and I’m setting new goals for myself and this photography journey of mine… You see, I have a dreadful habit of belittling myself. Of making myself smaller than I want to be and believing the ugly voice in my head that tells me I […]

Oh we love to read around here. Once a week we hit up our local library and check out a healthy amount of books. Walking back to the car is usually a struggle – I bet it’s humorous watching me wrangle my two sons and a giant bag filled with books back to my van! […]
Crystal was one of the most laid-back and thriftiest brides I’ve seen. She wanted to check out fresh flowers at the store the day before the wedding to decide what the centerpieces and bouquets would consist of. She hoped for peonies, even though it wasn’t the season for them. That’s the significance of those photos […]
This past weekend my husband, youngest son and I traveled to Austin! My very dear friend got married and that gave me the push I needed to buy us some plane tickets. Austin is such a fun city, the people are crazy friendly and I love the hippy-ness that just lingers everywhere. One afternoon we […]
One of my goals this year (well, two of my goals!) was to blog more… and take more photos of my own kids! Things are so fun – and a little crazy! – with three little ones. They get along for the most part really well and I can already they are learning some invaluable […]
