1.  I am thinking about opening up 2 last minute mini session spots for this coming weekend with guaranteed Christmas delivery.  Any interest?  Email me at lstradtner@mac.com for details!

2.  My kids are so addicted to these right now.  Especially Teagan.  Obsessed.

3.  This morning I stopped at my desk to pick something up and noticed there was still solid ice in my favorite cup that had been sitting from the night before.  First, I thought to myself, wow, this cup really IS awesome.  Second, I thought to myself, I wonder what time I actually went to bed….  Third, I thought to myself, I wonder if Ty did this to be sweet, he IS always bring me water refills.  Turns out […]

Man it has been awhile since I posted a 10 on Tuesday.  It’s not Tuesday, but I’m awake and have half of my wits about me so here we go….

1.  Kindergarten & 7th grade:

Could they be any taller?!?!  Time flies.  Be sure you click that link, it’s worth it just for the laugh.  It gets me every.single.year.

2.  As the first week of school is about to come to a close, I have more stories and one liners from Taryn than I can wrap my mind around.  Her first day went really well.  She was really nervous, but also very excited that morning.  All 5 of us actually managed to get […]

I’ve been meaning to do this forever, and finally got around to it.  Not easy.  At all.  T and I worked hard for these, and I’m so glad I captured my girl with her dog.  It’s been awhile.

all ya gotta do is say “sit pretty”

I think this pretty much sums it all up.  They are buds.  They watch out for each other.  They drive each other crazy at times, just as most best friends […]

I thought several times about posting here today and just felt blah about it.  I hate that.  This is my place.  To document my life, my children, my work.  I don’t ever want to feel blah about that.  I am thankful for all the comments and support, I honestly didn’t have any idea how it would all go down putting it all out there.  So thank you.  Hopefully it will send a message, but overall, it makes me sad that I feel more protective and have the urge to pull in the reins some.  Yet here I am.  This blog is mine.  And if I want to post, I will.  If people don’t play nice, I’ll password protect it if […]

Check it out!  Little T and Kylie ((our dog)) are in the greeting card aisle!!!

I was commissioned by a card company last year and I am so excited to partner with them in the future as well.  They purchased two images for their most recent release and I just got the box of samples in the mail yesterday!!!!  So, if you are in the US, Canada, Australia or Ireland and you see my cuties in the greeting card aisle….give a wink and a smile for me!!

While I am out of the park thrilled about this, Little T is not.  When I showed her the cards it just brought back traumatic […]

3. i miss my mom like crazy. our october visit got canceled, so it will be a full six month span between our last visit and our next visit. so hard.  […]
