you might want to read this…

This past week has been a real eye opener for me work-wise. I started blogging after we lost Jenna never imagining where it’d take me. Never imagining what could be possible. Never imagining all the AMAZING women I would meet along the way. My real reason for blogging was to help someone not feel cRaZY [...]



Life Lately

In a few words life has been happy and sad. I am bursting with happiness from Bubby’s tremendous progress in walking. I was getting worried he’d never want to walk! ;) He’s almost a pro. Almost. Happy because I finally got in my beautimous planner that keeps my crazy life a little organized. It makes [...]



iPhone love + a Winner

Instagr.am. Now I feel a little wasteful for buying my DSLR. I mean this little app makes everyone’s photos look amazing. That’s an exaggeration. I still love my canon, but it’s so handy to just grab, click and apply filters in seconds. I think my favorite filter is ‘pop rocket’ and ‘nashville’. See, I think [...]



Need a SMiLe?

This little book came with one of Bubby’s birthday gifts a few months ago. Unlike any of the pamphlets of instructions that usually come with new toys, this one was different. It was colorful, it was recycled and it was full of happiness. Inside of it are a bunch of random, hilarious statements kids have [...]

Have you heard of My Memories Suite? If you like working with your photos on your computer or digital scrapbooking at all, you might love this. It’s FUN! And easy to use. My two favorite things. ;) Check out the giveaway on my giveaway site here! :) A winner will be chosen in a few [...]



Just Wondering…

Lately I’ve been getting glimpses of the smell of the NICU. In the most random places. I realize most of the scent in the NICU was the medications, but it is strongly associated with one of the sweetest times in my life. It’s like anything that has to do with Jenna. Sudden. Heart-stopping. A whirlwind [...]



“A Noise With Dirt On It”

dirt

When we found out we were having a boy with my pregnancy with Bubby I was a little worried. Worried that I wouldn’t know how to be a mommy to a boy. I had spent the last year or so preparing my heart and our world for a little girl. Life has a way of [...]



Changing Your Blog Layout

Screen shot 2011-08-19 at 2.20.58 PM

I have just discovered (yes, shame on me) the amazingness of the new Blogger Template Designer. I have seen some of their features used on a few blogs, but not many. This is definitely amazing for anyone trying to customize their blog on their own. In truth Blogger has done a nice job at adding [...]



Day of Hope

Gosh. If there ever was a day to celebrate hope today would be that day. My heart is overwhelmed with heaviness for Nevaeh. Things are just getting worse. I kept telling Amy that God is good. God is good. God is good. He is good but He is such a mystery. I found myself repeating [...]



Score Music LOVE

I love music. Especially soundtracks. I notice score music in movies, and it almost always provokes the feelings that stay tucked away in life. I guess that is why I am a big fan of score music. It resurfaces what my heart tries to hide. It allows me to revisit the pain, but in a [...]



The Road Trip {nashville, TN}

It went by way too fast but I am glad to be home. It was such a pleasure sitting down and talking with Angie Smith in person. The whole meet up was extremely last minute for both of us. We checked into the hotel, I popped open my laptop not expecting much and almost died. [...]



Good Times

More pics coming soon, just thought I’d share one of my all time favorites. His face= priceless.

Rockstar Mural

Once upon a time I used to paint. I miss it sometimes. It’s just so much easier to ‘paint’ on my computer with a little one now all over the place. Painting on real canvas is not so practical, but I commend any one who does it with babies! And children. I am joining Carly [...]
