Another year where the summer flew by and the school year is officially back! Our girls started 10th, sixth, and fourth grade this year. And our sweet boy started Kindergarten (alllll this tears for him growing up way TOO fast)! We kicked off the new year with some of our typical “first day of school photos” and… Continue reading First Day of School Interviews (2023)
Skelly's Farm Market is such a fun little destination and a perfect place for a little mother-daughter adventure.

We knew it was going to be quite… Continue reading Travel With Us | Virginia Beach, VA

Well here we are. You are officially a pre-teen. Two whole hands old. An entire decade of life is behind you. I’ll be honest, Mahkena. You turning ten is so hard for me. While you want to be double digits and get more into your big girl status, my heart sinks just a bit. Ten years… Continue reading A letter to my daughter on her 10th birthday.
2022 came in full speed and just like that, January is already over. Still coming down from all the hype of the holidays, we didn't have much plans for this month. Truthfully; it was nice. We got to relax a bit at home and just unwind from all the chaos of Christmas. One month down… Continue reading 45 seconds of January.
Every year we try to squeeze in a family photo session; usually during the fall so we can make the most of the photos and use them on our yearly holiday cards.
