I am a 30-something southern gal who loves to document life in the form of photos and wordy sentences. My husband and I have two boys and two dogs that keep us quite busy considering the boys are only 18 months apart! I created this space years ago as a visual scrapbook for me to look back on and share things I love. Welcome to my little space of the internet. I'm happy you are here!

In the midst of all the school parties and programs and the Santa pictures, there were reindeer pancakes and hand painted ornaments and memories I will truly cherish forever. And a rebel playoff game will not surprisingly go down as one of my favorite experiences (I think ever?! Soooo special). 🤍
