Inspiring Engagement Photos


How cute are these engagement photos? Even better? I'm related to the beautiful bride-to-be! Her creative session was capture by The White Rabbit Studios and took place at Vertical House Records.  Now that's what I called being inspired by love!

It's been a long day.


Hi lovelies, how has your day been? It's been an extra long day for me...

P.S. THIS photo makes me giggle.

How To Make Your Post-it Reminder Effective:

I'm quite the avid post-it note-er, and use them quite often as reminders for weekly tasks all over my house. Naturally, when Husband kept forgetting to make himself a dentist appointment I thought, I'll just write him a kind lil reminder, that'll do it.



Jump forward two months later, no appointment has been made and the damn post-it note is STILL on the bathroom morror..mocking me.

Realizing that I would have to use alternative tactics for this foreign procrastination/meh mentality, the once-friendly reminder made its way into the trash and an army of gangly helpless teeth began to emerge throughout the house.


When they had made their way onto the milk carton in the fridge, their victim surrendered and the appointment was FINALLY made.

Now I'm wondering...what the H are my reminders going to look like come colonoscopy time? ;)

Happy Wednesday my lovelies!

You Are Beautiful

(via thelaymangroup.org)

While running around town this weekend, I happened to drive up on a small group of people holding signs that simply read: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. I thought this was quite frankly the sweetest and most positive message from complete strangers I had ever seen, and honestly it just made my day.

I did some reasearch and found out that they are a part of a new nonprofit arts organization here in Auburn called The Layman Group.  Although I know little about them, this kind gesture was enough for me to sign up for their mailing list and add their site to my favorites to check back regularly. Heck, it made me want to get out my little magic marker and do the same thing! All in all, I'm glad to see that we still have kindness like this in the world that doesn't require anything in return.

Happy Birthday Grandmother!


On this day in 1927, a beautiful lady named Lilly Helen Fortune was born, or as I refer to her as simply Grandmother.

A few fun facts about this lady:

 She's on Facebook: And puts 20-year-olds to shame on how regularly she uses it.
She raised three boys. And never seemed to have a chipped nail or a hair out of place while doing it.

She's a tap dancer. And darn good at it!

She's got a crazy green thumb. You've got to see this woman's yard to believe it.

And lastly, I'm ashamed to admit, even I have trouble keeping up with her! Off to Grandmother's house I go to celebrate her 84th birthday, have a great day everyone!
