Who I Am...

I'm a 35 yr old mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend and Christian.  I've been married for 12 yrs to my high school sweetheart and best friend.  We have 3 children, a daughter, Lizzie, who is an angel in heaven and a son, Jackson, who is 4yrs old and a son, Sawyer, who is 4 months old.  I'm fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom, and I love every moment of it...even though some days I feel exhausted and on the verge of going crazy!! :)  I love photography, and I love capturing life's special moments...not only for my family, but for other families as well. I have a small photography business that keeps me busy in my spare time.  Among many other things, I enjoy crafting (whether it be creative projects around my home, making my own home cleaning products, making cards, making jewelry or just making crafts with my son), gardening, camping, spending lots of time outdoors, cooking, yoga, blogging (yep, go figure!) and composting.  Simple things make me happy...Autumn, the color pink, flip flops, hoodies, peanut butter, lilacs, the sound of children laughing, fresh laundry from the line, and the feeling you get when you laugh so hard it hurts! :)  I'm a firm believer in reycling, reducing and reusing to help keep our earth beautiful, the way God intended for it to be!  I'm also an organic nut...I truly believe that organic foods are the only way to nourish our bodies, free of chemicals, pesticides and all that other junk.  All in all, I love my life and I try to live it fully...being kind to people around me, enjoying the simple things and doing my best to help out the Earth and all those who live here!
