capturing life through pictures...

Sometimes we need a breath of fresh air.  A new perspective.  A getaway.  I’m a believer in creating the kind of life where you can live everyday like your on vacation, but I’m also a dreamer, an adventurer, and I really like going places and seeing new things.  It’s inspiring and educational.  My hubs and […]

Who is ready for a fresh start… a clean slate? This time of year is always a time I get motivated to get back to basics and declutter our home and lives.. Getting a fresh perspective on what’s working and what’s not and adjust a little. Last year I read a wonderful book called Essentialism […]

I get so excited about the new year!  I enjoy reflecting on the past year and pondering new ideas for the year ahead.  It’s such a good time for personal growth.

For Jakey’s 5th birthday he wanted an army guy party… so army guys it was!  I tried to keep it simple and stick to what my little man likes.  PB&J for the sack lunch win, a boot camp challenge course, and then ice cream sandwiches instead of cake and ice cream.  It hardly took any […]

We headed out on our favorite fall tradition.  A trip to the corn maze.   Picnics, horseback rides,  corn jump, tractors & trains, tire swings, and the list go’s on… Happy Fall Ya’ll !

I was talking with a friend who has made some lifestyle changes for the better.  She has lost a lot of weight […]

Oh summer, I’m going to miss you!  Here are some snapshots from summertime on instagram.  I’m an adventurer, and a free spirit so summer is full of lots of yes days and we go, go, go  a lot.  But isn’t that what summer’s suppose to be about?  I want to look back and have memories… […]

So I’ve been knee deep cleaning out closets and prepping for fall… I’m having a sale this weekend with all the kiddos clothes and some of mine and jared’s as well.  As I was getting out our fall clothes it made me excited for the transition.  It inspired me to break out this transition piece… […]

Meal planning is a must right???  I know, I know it’s not my favorite thing to do either, but we all gotta eat!  I wanted to make sure and share this with you all because I know this time of year everyone is getting their #momgoals on and I thought you would all appreciate this […]
