October Update + November Intentions

12

The weather is decidedly colder and the days are incredibly shorter. Starbucks has released its red cups. The trees are starting to thin out. It must be November! [October Update] Look for the good in others. I shouldn’t have tried to do this in an election season. (I KID). It was actually much, much more difficult than IRead the whole post >>

My Life is Great, But Sometimes I Forget.

11

There are many afternoons that I spend in frustration these days. With Gabe’s whining. With the clothes, toys, dishes, and papers strewn everywhere around our apartment. With my inability to focus on anything for more than 3.2 minutes. With the fact that I just cleaned that high chair tray off, like, an hour ago andRead the whole post >>

Seven Quick Takes (and Six Photos).

21

I think people usually do these on Friday, but this is the first time I’ve ever been EARLY for something, so just roll with it. 1. I’ve felt incredibly behind in absolutely everything (house is falling to pieces, haven’t run since my half, missing lots of self-imposed deadlines, not blogging, etc etc) and when IRead the whole post >>

16

Baking soda and vinegar are staples in any natural cleaning arsenal, but what else can you use that is effective? I’ve talked a lot about not being a slob and decluttering, but today I want to share what we use around the house to clean our clothes, our dishes, and…everything else.

A Family Photo Shoot: Meet the Calhouns.

8

It was a cloudy day with a few sprinkles of rain when we arrived at the park, but considering how fantastic they all looked, we went on with the shoot and I’m so glad we did! This family was so much fun. Heather is an online business lady like mahself, so aside from plenty of family shots, I wanted to getRead the whole post >>

Why I'm Surprised I'm a Runner & My Latest Race*.

13

When I was a freshman in high school, I joined track because my friends did. I gave it a shot, but I was awful at running and it was boring. I was a long distance runner, which meant tedious workouts like 6 miles around the track. Even worse, I was the slowest member of theRead the whole post >>

What I Want.

17

I want to be a good friend. I want to have a friend I can call at any time for any reason. I want to have brunches together and late night wine and curled-up-on-the-couch chatting. I want to make time for friendships and all the life and joy they bring. I want to invite peopleRead the whole post >>

September Updates, October Intentions.

33

September was a fairly excellent month. I had several photo shoots, launched a few websites, and made nearly as much with Little Leaf as Mike and I combined (I mean, yes, our salaries are small, but things are happening, you guys, and I am so excited about it!) This meant the house was rather messy muchRead the whole post >>

Friday Photo & Finds.

From Gabe’s birthday celebration at a vineyard last month. I just love the way he and my mom are looking at each other. :) Exhale. I hate complaining, so I apologize for what’s about to follow but I have to tell you – it has been A Week, my friends. One of those weeks where you hearRead the whole post >>
