January in the Ocean, Kentucky in the Wind
Welp, guys… my weekend was so exciting that I skipped both Saturday and Sunday—ha! It was fun while it lasted. I honestly knew I’d never make it 365 days in a row, but oh well… no regrets here. We had a great weekend. January 10th was spent in the ocean. Yes. The ocean. In January. Can y’all believe that? It […]
Published Is Published (And I’m Not Calm About It)
Got my new prime lens last night—a 50mm—and let me tell you, I’ve been shooting everything in my line of sight for the last 12 hours. If it stood still long enough, it became a photo. I am officially obsessed. I cannot wait to get out this weekend and really put it to work. So here’s the […]

Well… kind of. I liked those Grinch cookies so much that I decided to make another batch.

Day 6: No Answers Yet, New Tests, and Dreading the School Routine
The new rheumatologist had a cancellation today, and I was able to get in this afternoon. I was honestly excited… and hopeful. Unfortunately, it ended up being pretty uneventful. Still no clear answers, and if I’m being real, I’m starting to feel like I’m losing my mind just a little. The one positive is that […]
And So It Begins…
Well friends… here we go. This afternoon we have our first official paid Santa and Mrs. Claus gig, and I’ve gotta ask — should I be this nervous?! I mean, we’ve done the prep, the outfits are ready, and Santa B is already in character… but my stomach is doing that little flip thing anyway. What makes […]
Im Back And Guess What Day It Is
I’m back. I know, I know, I have got to stop disappearing on y’all. I swear every time I blink, life scoops me up, spins me around, and drops me straight into bed by 8 pm like I’m 95 years old. But shew. I promise I’m going to get better about popping in. Pinky promise, […]
