Playroom Organization
In the theme of Spring Cleaning, I decided to dive into actually organizing the kids playroom.

Congratulations! You’ve officially hit the most enjoyable time in toddlerhood! Kidding not kidding. This is one of the things I was absolutely dreading as a parent.

The Kids Head to Deer Camp
When we first started dating, AJ told me that there were only two things in his life that were nonnegotiable, one of which was Deer Season. This was a new one for me. I wasn't a big hunter so didn't really think much about it or really understand the importance. It wasn't until I was [...]
Porch Session Recap: May 2020
It’s absolutely nuts to me that we are months into this “shelter in place” order. Days are feeling longer and we’ve been going a little stir crazy. I’ve been trying to figure out ways to break up our days and when I heard that a local photographer had been doing porch photo sessions, I asked [...]
