1. There are little people in my house. Lots and lots of little people. Little people resembling Taryn & Lily…..

I’m not sure which one has the bedhead, it could really go either way. The third eye in the middle is actually the nose in case you were wondering. Magic Erasers are my friend.

2. Ty was pretty excited a few weeks ago to go to his first UT football game. And by excited, I meen e.x.c.i.t.e.d! I bought him a little disposable camera to put in his pocket. I can only imagine what is on it….when I asked he said he took photos of his food, the 54 oz drink his dad […]

Since I’m on a blog posting frenzy and all, I thought I’d come do a good ole flashback friday. I came across these tonight looking for something and noticed they were taken exactly 2 years ago today. They make me smile from ear to ear…..

Two years ago, how can that be?? That was also the year our kiddos didn’t make the Christmas card. Yeah, with a doozie of an image like this, you can’t really blame me though huh?

I really do need to print these (hanging head in shame that I haven’t in the last 2 years!) and […]

((((I wrote this 10 on Tuesday on an actual Tuesday, just moments before my laptop took a swim in latte. My new imac is up and running and I’m slowly but surely catching up. Thanks for hanging in there with me and sending along a few laughs and a few hugs in your comments!))))…….

1. Our Thanksgiving was quiet. And thankful. Can’t ask for much more than that.

2. We finished Teagan’s big boy room. I love it. Really, really love it. I need to get around to taking some pics of it. We had Teagan and Ty switch rooms because Ty has outgrown the twin size bed. And because that furniture fit in that room, the boys had to switch. Ty […]

1. I have time to blog today. Ask me why?!…..cause today I had HELP. Smack dab in the middle of busy season. Real life HELP. In the form of a maid to come clean my house and the most amazing nanny in the world. My house is clean. Every single room ALL AT THE SAME TIME. And I got actual work done during the day today without dropping the kids in front of elmo or barney. Real live work in daylight hours. Uninterrupted. Isn’t that freaking awesome? I usually work after Jason walks through the doors at the end of the day. I feel so much less stress right now. When I opened my eyes this morning, I knew it […]

I’m on hour 16 right now. Of work. No shooting, no proofing, nothing creative. Therefore it = work. I wish I could shoot more and spend a lot less time doing the mundane things that being a photographer and business owner also brings to the table (especially during busy season). 16 hours today of sorting, deleting, replying to emails, uploading, downloading, archiving, burning disks, assembling albums, packaging orders, emailing the lab, counting prints, drafting invoices….all the things I must do, to get to do what I want to do…shoot, talk to my clients. I needed a catch up day, and today was it. It always make me laugh a little when I hear people say they want to be a […]
