I have the MOST FUN any time I’m in front of Michelle’s camera. She is so fun to hang out with and it ends up being the best girl time + hair and makeup! Y’all know I have 4 kids and I work from home.. I don’t get to feel fancy very often! If you like laughing until your cheeks hurt (your face cheeks) and feeling 🔥 - book a shoot with her! 10/10 highly recommend.

Thank goodness for spring. 🌸 2026 has been kin Thank goodness for spring. 🌸

2026 has been kind of a weird, wild ride so far, but full of good things. I started a new job! And that has taken up a lot of my time (in a good way), so I’ve been a little bit quiet around here.

I’m trying as hard as I can to prioritize myself more these days. Finally went to the doctor and did some blood work. Turns out, I’m severely anemic. I’m hoping I’ll start feeling better and little more awake after I start my iron. 😅 Maybe I can lay off the coffee a little bit. (J/k)

I can’t believe it’s almost April after we went through 3 years of January, but I’m not mad about it! Ready to relax outside on patios with family/friends and enjoy our kiddos running around. We made it. 🖤

And he said this to his social media loving picture taking wife who is finally feeling the sunlight on her face after months of seasonal depression. 🤪 Might just turn this into a Nate appreciation account. Stay tuned.😉

Inspiration, The Meaning of Life · February 19, 2013

Dream It Into Reality.


♥

On Saturday morning Nate and I took a little trip downtown for a coffee date. We went to a local place that we’d heard a lot of good things about. It had the best vibe – just a few little mismatched tables, lots of art on the walls, good music playing in the background – oh, and delicious coffee and donuts! You probably know all about it if you follow me on Instagram or Vine! Nate has only recently started drinking coffee (what?! I know!) and is now obsessed with it! I’m such a nerd about the simplest things – like Saturday morning coffee dates – so I’m pretty excited he enjoys them now too! I did a little daydreaming as we sat there sipping coffee and eating funnel cake donuts (yep, that’s a thing). I thought about how much I’d love to sit in that little shop with my laptop working on my blog, on an online shop, networking, creating – doing the things that I love for a living. What would that look like?

What if I came up with a plan and executed it? What if I actually worked toward my dreams, no matter how impossible they seem? What if I quit giving myself a list of reasons why I can’t and told myself that I can?

I’m still going to daydream during weekend coffee dates.. but from now on, I’m going to work hard toward making them my reality.

What do you daydream about?

    Get out of my head! I've been thinking the exact same things lately. I have a million ideas for a new venture. I just need to execute something! Ah! I'll have to share with you and see if there's anything we can collaborate on.

      This comment makes me so happy! I need to narrow down my ideas a bit. I feel like I'm all over the place right now. I think we need a brainstorming brunch soon!
