A new summer look! They’re growing up too fast…

These kids make me smile so much! Yeah everyday isn’t all rainbows and unicorns but it’s pretty fricken awesome! The boy was stoked to have daddy pick him up after school… It was hubby’s last day of school so they were both actually excited to have some time just for the boys. The miss andContinue reading “A new summer look! They’re growing up too fast…”

When I hear this I think of you

When I hear this I think of you

The other evening while sitting outside with the kids by their playset (see previous pic) I beard this faint jingle, a jingle that will always be remembered of our dog Elwood, for days after he had passed I heard this jingle, always of 2 tags on his collar. When hubby, my dad and brother built the playset shortly after Elwood got a new collar, this is where his old one stayed. Even when we moved hubby made sure that when it was built the collar got put back on, we still had Elwood at this time.

Sitting there the other evening hearing this jingle brought me back so many memories and also reminded me that he is still always with us and watching over. The kids still talk of him and mention they miss him but that he’s up in heaven watching us.

While out there with the kids and Beck I had to take a moment to capture this piece of him. That will still always be a piece of us! Even if he was only here with us at this home for two days.

RIP Elwood… <3

life happens. photo therapy.

What better way to put a smile on my face than 1 – spending time with my family and 2 – photography. Life happens. There will be many bumps and holes in the road, but one thing I will always remind myself is to be true to not only myself but also my family andContinue reading “life happens. photo therapy.”

My kids have made me the mother I am!

One thing I have always known is that I wanted to meet the man of my dreams, someone who fit in our family just like he always belonged and who made me truly happy to raise children with! It was a long rough road to becoming a mother, to us becoming parents. We have aContinue reading “My kids have made me the mother I am!”

Always go with your gut feeling!

You know that feeling deep down that is like the little voice you hear of the angel and the devil when you are trying to make a decision. That uneasy feeling or the butterflies of pure joy. Without a doubt when you have to make a decision go with what you’re feeling, you’ll never beContinue reading “Always go with your gut feeling!”
