One Year Pics of Eden

IMG_6707ipiccy

Hello Friends! Oh-my-word have I had zero time for blogging ever since I started back at work! It makes me so sad, as I have a list of about a dozen things I want to blog about, but so little time to do so. Working part-time from home with 3 kiddos is quite the undertaking, plus with the incredible amount of transition going on with Joe starting his new job at Sanctuary House of Prayer, it feels like there are {Read More}

5 Minute Friday: Again

5-minute-friday-1

I’m participating in 5 Minute Friday again, hosted by Lisa-Jo Baker – Tales from a Gypsy Mama where she gives us a word and then everyone writes about it for 5 minutes – no editing, no over thinking, no back tracking. This week’s word is “Again”… I have a headache this morning…again. My daughter is throwing a tantrum and I’m losing my patience…again. I’m folding and putting laundry away…again. There’s spit-up on the floor, dishes on the counter, weights on {Read More}

Together in Ten: Fun Jewelry

IMG_0880picmonk

I recently discovered a new fashion blog called Together in Ten: Great Style in a Snap, with fun ideas especially for moms who don’t often have a lot of time to create a well-put-together outfit. I’m enjoying some of the simple tips on the site and decided to join in the fun. I’m by no means a fashion maven and I’m not really in-the-know on the latest trends, but I love it when I’m able to create an ensemble that {Read More}

5 Minute Friday: Roots That Endure

I am again participating in 5 Minute Friday, hosted by Lisa-Jo Baker – Tales from a Gypsy Mama where she gives us a word and then everyone writes about it for 5 minutes. No editing. No over thinking. No back tracking. This week’s topic is…“Roots”. I recently watched a video showing footage of a massive tree being ravaged by Hurricane Sandy, so that its massive frame, roots and all, were torn from their home in the soil and thrown down {Read More}

5 Minute Friday: A Race Worth Running

5-minute-friday-1

This is my first time participating in 5 Minute Friday, hosted by Lisa-Jo Baker – Tales from a Gypsy Mama where she gives us a word and then everyone writes about it for 5 minutes – no editing, no over thinking, no back tracking. Yikes! As a bit of a perfectionist, this will be hard for me, but sometimes I just don’t write because it takes so much time and I have to analyze it and research things and it {Read More}

Happy 5 Months Eden

IMG_5967text

Well, my little man is 5 months old already! He weighed in at 15 lb. 3 oz. and is 26 inches long! He is bursting out of the little white onesie I keep trying to squeeze him into for these monthly pictures, so I may need to finally cave in and buy a bigger size soon. He’s totally fitting into his 6 month onesies and sleepers, yet his waist still doesn’t fit the 3-6 month pants! He’s long, but skinny {Read More}

A couple months ago we had new family photos taken by our friend Kristen Nicole and I LOVE how they turned out! She did a great job and it is my pleasure to share a few of my favorites with you.

Eden’s Newborn Photos

Here are some newborn pictures I took a couple months ago of Eden. I never knew how hard it was to take pictures of a baby (especially all by yourself), but I’m really happy with how they turned out!

I’m linking up with OhAmanda’s Top Ten Tuesday again this week with a list of my top pins that I’ve added on Pinterest since I joined the site. I really love how great it is for bookmarking ideas and things I find that I like. To have some variety, I’m going to choose one pin from 10 of my boards.     1. Dream Home - A beautiful breakfast nook by a nice big window – I have always had a thing {Read More}

Thank you so much to my lovely friend Steph who took these maternity photos for us and to my parents for hosting it in their beautiful home. **Note: In case you were wondering, yes – I did airbrush my stomach – it is no where near that perfect in real life! **
