I put it off for so long, getting his hair cut. One of my favorite things about him is the way his hair naturally flips up above his ear. It’s sweet and simple and so so him. He was looking very shaggy and we had photos with Libby coming up. It needed to be done, but I won’t lie, I totally regret it. Which is weird because I didn’t regret a single hair cut, first or otherwise with the other 3 kids. Maybe it’s because we lost so much of the red hair, it’s much more blonde underneath now that it is shorter. It’s been a month, and I still kinda regret it, he looks so big and different. It’s […]

Christian Christmas Book Advent

I have been wanting to do this for years and I finally got organized enough before busy season hit to actually pull it off this year. I really enjoyed researching and looking for books that have a Christian, Jesus focused, tone to them. I started buying books in September, a few a week to spread out the cost. To save money, you could easily hit Half Price Books or other discount book stores. I didn’t have a ton of time to enjoy the thrill of the hunt so I ordered most of mine online. I ordered the number labels for each book from this Etsy seller. Once all the books […]

My sweet baby boy turned one today. It’s surreal to me that his first year has gone by so quickly, in a blink really. He brought so much to our family, it’s like he’s always been here….I can’t remember us without him. I woke up this morning to his groupies (Taryn and Jude) sneaking in our bedroom to whisper happy birthday in his ear. He’s seriously the most easy going, happy go lucky baby I’ve ever met. Happy Birthday to my little Mister…momma loves you.

I’ll want to remember

It’s 2:27 am and I should have been in bed hours ago. Jonah has been up 4 times, I don’t know what’s up with him tonight, a new tooth maybe. My email calls, I’m so behind. This blog has been quiet but my life, most definitely, has not. Have I mentioned that birthphotographers.com is participating in the Birth Without Fear Conference in a little over a week. Yes. It’s going to be epic and I’m so stoked about it. But it also falls smack dab in the middle of busy season. Full plate juggling it all? Yes.

And homeschool. We are so close to finishing out for the year I can taste it. Less than 3 weeks from being done and […]
