‘Tis the season for crisp days and nights, mums, apple cider, corn mazes, preparing for winter and the beautiful colors of autumn.
One of the places I like to look at for inspiration is Chasing Fireflies. They have really cute and original clothes. I saw this dress and thought it was pretty cute. Here is my attempt at duplicating it. I elongated […]
She’s just so pretty. In my totally-unbiased-mother’s opinion. 🙂 She always has the best faces when she is telling a story, too. The stories are pretty hard to follow, but she is very expressive while she’s tellin’ them. There were […]

Today we went up North (apparently along with the rest of the metro area) to go see Brian’s family. His mother’s birthday was yesterday, so we were going to spend the afternoon up there to visit and have some birthday […]
