Earlier in the month, I went back home for a few days. After a morning of shoots, I got some pictures of our families fur babies. Lil’Bit was born to family furbabies, one of those being my male chihuahua Pudd that passed away almost three years ago at the age os 12 1/2. Lil’Bit was…
As of 9:28 we have a 4-year-old. 4 years. How has it been that long!?! How are you 4 years old already, GG??? Gregory,God placed you in my life and in my arms that day 4 years ago and I’m so thankful that He let you stay with us. You had my heart before you…
This week I took GG, my toddler (yes, I still have a few months that I can call him that, so I’m doing it as much as possible!), had his first non-melt-down haircut. He’s almost 4 and I’ve taken him to two salons, once when he was over one and another about 9 months later….
This morning began like any other. We got out of bed, had breakfast (and coffee for me, of course). My son, GG, wanted to watch Dino Dan, I typically don’t let him watch television so early in the day. I gave in so that I could finish crocheting a blanket for a fellow HITC/photographer friend’s…
When I was about six I went on a trip to central Florida with my parents. While there we did several things, but what stayed in my mind was visiting Weeki Wachee and seeing the mermaids swim. I had already been dreaming of being a mermaid, but seeing those girls swimming as mermaids made me…
I have high functioning anxiety as well as high functioning depression. This means that I constantly find myself adding more and more things to my days. When I’m busy I’m happy. However, I also have health issues and after trying to be supermom/superwoman for a while my body says it’s had enough. We’ve all been…
Have you ever wondered what you would tell your 12 year old self if you could time travel? If you had the chance would do it? Would you chance changing your future? I think about things like this at times – especially right now since I’m super into the Flash series! If I decided to…
There’s few things I enjoy more than the excitement of moving. It’s a thrill that gives me butterflies. However, the first time was very emotional for me. I was 10 years old. My parents had bought land and after 6 months had built a house that we got to move into. Packing that time was…
Before my son was born I prayed that he would be a leader among men. I prayed for him to have integrity and a heart for God and others. I prayed that he would help those in – and that he would stand up for others, those that maybe cannot do so for themselves, as…
As someone who has dealt with depression my entire life I love that depression, in all forms, is a subject that has come to light over the years. I love that people try to understand and have sympathy for many mental illnesses whereas in years past they didn’t. We’ve come leaps and bounds in the…
Two years ago my only real experience with asthma had been few friends and my sweet little Chihuahua, Dink. Then the month after my son, GG, turned a year old (May of 2015) our personal journey with this breath taker began. What started as a cough and some raspy breathing turning into wheezing and my…
We’ve taken Gregory to Disney for the past several years. Granted the first time he was 8 months. He stayed in his stroller while we enjoyed Mickey’s Christmas and slept through it. Last year however he was able to ride several rides, but this year! Oh this year was magic! He’s getting close to the…
My dearest Pudd,For 12 yrs you were one of the biggest parts of my life. You were my first son. You helped me through some of the hardest points in my life. You were just a tiny, rolly-polly, pudgy thing when I picked you up at 7 weeks. You gave me some of the best…
