What is your passion? When you are given a few hours to yourself what do you dream of doing? What do you actually make the time for? When I think of passions I think of all the things that recharge me and make me who I am. Nothing makes me feel more alive than hiking...

Like many Americans we have gone gluten free {at least two out of five}. The rest of the family has easily adjusted to our diet. I have been gluten free for the past 11 months. Hard to believe how quickly that time has gone. You can eat gluten free and still eat very...
In this big creative world I have met old souls that I have connected with right away. Some women I have met in person, others I will only know through our emails and others I will only know through their writing. There are women that have made their mark on my heart...
It is easy to feel comfortable behind the lens. I love that I am the one capturing our day to day lives. It is different being on the other side of the lens. This was a fun activity for me because it was out of the norm. I have become more comfortable about it over...
{All photos on this post are by the talented Traci Thorson} Last summer, while I was visiting my parents, I was able to take the short drive to Na-Da Farm. We both homeschool our children, the kids had recently become pen pals and we were all looking forward to...

Last year around this time I watched helplessly as one of my good friends and her husband buried their three week old daughter. They had tried for years to get pregnant without any success. They then tried for years to get pregnant through IVF. Years without a baby...
Do you remember as a kid lying on the couch with your feet up in the air and your head down by the floor? Didn’t you love the different perspective of the ceiling and parts of the room you usually didn’t notice? I always loved hanging upside down on the...
By now I hope you have had a chance to check out the new website. I have gotten many emails asking about my new site and blog redesign. I thought this would be the easiest way to answer your questions. First of all I knew it was time for me to have my own website. I...
Good morning! I hope you have been taking some photos this week. {previous post HERE explains the whole thing} I have to admit that my photo taking was not too impressive this week with the snow storm and all. I am hoping to get outside over the next three weeks and...
Hello everyone! I am excited because today I am sharing with you my first video. Let me clarify….I did a really awesome one and the sound was bad. I did a second one and it was OK but the sound was also jacked up. I made a third as the the sun was going down, I...
I will think of new pieces I want to create all of the time. I will draw them out and put them in an ever growing pile of ideas. The truth is….I have not painted anything since New Years Eve. We gave the kids tons of choices for New Years and they chose art...
