Little Miss Molly & Her Sisters

My friend Kristal came over yesterday and took these adorable pictures. I LOVE them! She is such a great photographer and great friend too. Check out her photography blog again HERE. I'm sure she's doing a Spring mini-shoot soon, so if you're in the area be sure to book a spot. Thanks again Kristal- I can't wait to see the rest.

I ♥ them!

Crazy Love


I just finished this book and it's too good not to say anything about. A must read about God's amazing love for us and our response to it. I don't remember the last time I read a book that made me think as much as this one did. I am not a good writer at all (I'm more of a numbers girl). I wish my sister-in-law Chelsea (the writer) could paraphrase for me the ideas, thoughts, and challenges of this book. I don't think she's read it though. Maybe she will and maybe she'll do just that on her own blog. Some of this book is tough to swallow. It defiantly puts things into perspective. God is real. Jesus is real. And the most important commandment in the Bible is to love God and love others. Am I doing that? Kind of but not really, not the way the I should be. It's mostly all about me. That's why I think this book is SO great. It points these things out, makes you think about them, and makes you want to change. Like I said, I can't really put it into words. So instead I will say... READ IT.

Molly's Room


Here are a couple pictures of Molly's room so far. It's turning out pretty cute I think. It started off with a disastrous Etsy vinyl wall decal purchase (which was scrapped, only after a few shed tears) and has since just come together with other little items along the way. This picture is a little dark but you get the idea. Not pictured are the dresser and bookshelf made at the cabinet shop which still both need some finishing touches.
Everything is pretty much from the days of baby Kyla and baby Heidi. I revamped the chandelier by painting it. Thanks to my mom who made the curtains. A matching pillow from Grandma Carolyn is on the way. Also new are these canvas pictures we made entirely of Modge Podge and fabric...much cuter in person.  And a wall decal that actual stuck to the wall.


Getting excited!

Project 365 {January}


So I know I started this last year, keeping a side blog of my picture project and it only made it to the summer. I'm starting fresh this year. Janurary is done (no promises for the rest of the year). Working on journaling and will hopefully get it into my album soon.  

I've had a lot of fun being back into picture a day mode. Check out January by clicking the 365 icon on the sidebar or you can just click HERE.

Be back soon...

My computer got a virus...ugh. But the wonderful Mensonides family came to the rescue! Hurray. I should be back up and blogging by this weekend. In the mean time, check out Kristal Mensonides' blog Coleson & Tate. Also, check out her photography business blog, Kristal Joy Photography. I got the chance to "assist" her at a wedding this weekend, all though...I'm pretty sure my only assistance was one of these pictures she posted. Can you guess which one??? She's so good. I had NO idea what I was doing. Fun though.


Can't do links with the iPad....here you go:
