                                        After weeks of planning and anticipation, Christmas has come and gone. So sad. I remember how the days before Christmas felt like years when I was young.  Now I sort of dread Christmas Day. Even […]

I really appreciate all the compliments on my wedding photos. Our photographer was amazing and did a great job (with some help from Photoshop) of making everyone look good! As an extremely budget conscious bride, I had to prioritize my “wants, needs, and must haves.” Anyone who has been involved in wedding planning knows that […]

Working part time for the man and part time for myself results in a crazy schedule that varies week to week. Throw in private practice tasks, personal appointments, errands, and household chores and it feels like there’s never a day without something scheduled.
