One of my favorite blogs to read is written by a woman named Reagan who is a hairstylist in New York.  Reagan and I are from the same area and I love hearing stories about her precious daughter, Piper.  Piper is Olivia’s age and has a disease that forces her to live in a hospital.  [...]

A few people have asked to see individual images from the video I posted the other day of Cate waiting for her soldier to come home.  Here’s a few of my favorites from that morning! To see more photos from the video, go here.

Oh, this is a cute story for you. A few weeks ago, one of my college girls, Amanda, texted me to ask me how long the leaves would still look good in pictures.  She was dying to have her engagement pictures made in the fall leaves, but there was only one little problem: she wasn’t [...]

Received on Friday evening, from Honour: “I need to procure some Halloween candy.  Any chance you’d be willing to rent me a kidlet Sunday evening?”

I had a huge event at work yesterday which meant I was racing to get the girls, dress them up, do their hair, etc. before we went to Disney on Ice last night.  In other words, I didn’t get pictures before we went in.  How is that possible given the fact that I earn part [...]

This question cracked me up — and I got it from several people!  Here are the easy answers: I don’t date Aviean’s father because he’s my cousin (!); I don’t date MacKenzie’s father because he is significantly older than me (around 25 years older than me!) and I don’t date Angelina, Juliana and Olivia’s father [...]

In short, I don’t. Sleep is one of those things I’m pretty picky about, unfortunately.  I really, really like my sleep.  I’ve always loved sleep; one of my mom’s favorite stories to tell about me is how I slept through the first night she brought me home from the hospital.  I love sleep. With that [...]
