While I like to keep it real around here, I rarely air out our dirty laundry when it comes to my marriage.  Today however, it feels appropriate.  Yes, I realize it is Mother’s Day.  It’s relevant.  Promise.

A tree.  A simple little tree.  See, last Mother’s Day my husband came to me and asked me what I wanted.  While I don’t necessarily believe that I’m *entitled* to a gift for being a mother, I knew he would go out and buy something regardless, it may as well be something I’d enjoy and well, if I’m being honest, he doesn’t have the greatest record of gift giving (like the year I got a new bike just weeks after breaking my tailbone).  Anyway, […]

10 on Tuesday | Austin Photographer

1.  10 on Tuesday = late, but hey, that’s just how this week is rolling.

2.  We bought a new to us car minivan Monday night.  I never ever ever ever ever ever thought I’d see the day that my husband would own a minivan.  But that day is here and dare I say whisper ::::he loves it too::::  It makes sense for our family.

3.  I think it’s pretty funny that instead of a “Swaggerwagon”, Jase calls ours a “Slackerwagon”.

4.  Taryn, however, calls it “The TV Car”.   The first time she got in it she was giddy with a side of evil laugh.

5.  Speaking of Little T…..Becky came over and watched my monkeys while I was off […]

Fall has managed to find it’s way to Central Texas and our house.  To this I say ‘Thank God’ and ‘Adios 110 temps!’

I love this time of year.  So crisp, the smells, the fresh air, temps you can actually go outside in, pumpkin spice latte’s, fall crafts and projects.  Our family embraces it in a big way….

to print our wedding photos.  i should have done it a long time ago.  but in all honesty, i didn’t love them.  i love him.  the photos….eh.  after digging through hundreds of proofs and tweaking and editing and creative cropping, i can honestly say that I do love these.  and that is enough.  so….finally…..a wedding wall.  jason was somewhat shocked when he walked through the door today.  he put up the shelves but had no clue what was going on them.  and neither did i until i sat down to order.  i put 3 orders in my cart and deleted them one by one, trying to find the right combo of pics before i even thought ‘wedding’.    we thought we […]
