Sweet Sixty!
Happy Sunday! I feel like my last few posts have been plenty of talking about life and the state of things, probably enough to last awhile. What I think we need is some action! Over the last year, I’ve actually been able to get a few little photo shoots in. They have been just enough…

Heather and Jason
A couple of weeks ago the leaves were turning colors and had fallen on the ground creating a perfect scene. I just really wanted to take some pictures of the whole look. So, I texted my neighbors and asked if they would let me take a few pics of them. My neighbor next door has…

Tiny E- Aerial Artist
My third born baby girl is now thirteen years old. One of her friends asked her what her family nick-name was and she answered with, “Tiny E.” Her girlfriend looked her up and down and said, “Tiny?” You see, Emma is a tall 13 year old. She’s passed her two older sisters in the height…

Christmas Day 2016
Christmas Morning my husband and I woke up pretty early to make sure we had time to put chains on the beetle. We needed to drive to Reno so my husband could fly home in time for his midnight shift. Working on Christmas and other holidays are and have always been the norm for us.…

Just Around the Corner!
Today is one of those days. I see it! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I just counted 76 boxes. That’s right 76 boxes until I don’t have anymore boxes to unpack! Things are looking like a house in here, and I cannot wait to start posting some before and afters…

I Have a Plan!
Good Morning! Yesterday I wrote to you and told you how at the end of my rope I am! Well, after a good night’s sleep I’ve made a plan. I’m going to move in! When I first decided to move into the house my plan was to paint each cupboard, cabinet, and closet before I…

Dreams: Nobody Said it Would Be Easy
This week has really been a struggle for me. I feel like all the work and all the moving and all the being responsible is really getting to me. I need something and I don’t even know what it is. Monday, Emma started public school again after being homeschooled by me for the last three…

Four Week Catch Up at the Ranch!
So, I guess moving your whole life to a different state can be a lot of work! I say that as if I didn’t know it would be. Over the last four weeks, I’ve been so busy, I haven’t had the energy to blog. I still don’t have the energy, but need to bite the…

Week One Down!
Today marks my first week down here at the ranch. I’m exhausted, so I’m taking a little break. I thought I’d share some before and after pictures with you. Just for fun. After getting settled in, Emma and I loaded all of our suitcases into the two smaller bedrooms. It’s actually fun having all of…

I’m Building a Ship
Today I was reminded of a blog post I shared from David DuChemin. He is one of my favorite photographer/writers. His blog and Facebook pages are full of inspiration and motivation. I have a couple of his books, I’m a fan. Anyway, I reposted a blog entry he wrote about building your own ship. Your…
