For many years I’ve been a people pleaser, like a true “I’ll pay the price” people pleaser. What do I mean by that, you ask. Simple. I have lost so much of my true self trying to make sure those around me are happy and agree with the things I say/do. I’ve been married for…

Our baby boy’s baby shower
As promised here’s all about our baby shower! Since this is our second born child and the boy to follow our girl I figure this will be the last baby shower I get to throw so I knew I wanted to do it “big” and that’s exactly what I did. There are so many details…
Baby Shower vs. Baby Sprinkle
So, I know I said I’d write about the baby shower that I had on the 14th and I will but I wanted to write this one first. I had multiple people ask me why I was having a shower for a second baby or why I wasn’t just doing a “sprinkle”. I also had…
You’re uncomfortable and that’s ok
I want to start off by saying sorry that I’ve been MIA lately. I’ve been planning our sons baby shower for this weekend (there will be a post all about it next week)! Today we’re talking about being uncomfortable with someone. In my life there have been and are people who I’m just not comfortable…
You are enough!

These women were mostly strangers when they showed up to this session and trust me when I say it was terrifying (even for me although I wasn’t in the photographs). These women ranged in age 20…
Hope after Loss
WARNING: This post contains sensitive information. This may be the most important blog I ever write so if you’re only going to read one,make it this one. I married my best friend in 2016. We agreed to wait a year to start our family. In that year of waiting we did everything we could think…
An attitude of gratitude
For many years of my life I’ve had to deal with “bad days”. If you’ve had these days you know what I mean. I’ve never been diagnosed with depression but it runs like wildfire in my family so I know the signs. Over the years, I’ve tried so many mental health things to get in…
DIY Sensory Bottle
I am a HUGE fan of all things DIY! My theory is that everything means a little bit more if you made it yourself. I LOVE hand making Christmas and birthday gifts which I’m sure my family is incredibly tired of receiving. So when it came time to be a mom I knew that I…
