Today was my last day of school. That’s right, as of now I can officially say I have finished three years of high school. That is crazy. Seriously. Next year I’ll be going off to college, really? Where did the time go? Was it just me or did this year seem to go by particularly […]

I’ve been inspired lately to try my hand at self-portraits. Not that I haven’t before, I have, but I’ve always failed and been disappointed with my results in the past. But this time I was determined to get some pictures that I actually liked. These were my favorites (along with the ones in my new […]

I played with Benny outside today. Just the two of us. We went out after dinner in the semi-dark and jumped on the trampoline. It was the first time I’d been on the trampoline in a long time. After awhile we laid down and looked up at the sky. We played the “plane game” as […]

The alarm goes off and I groggily get up to turn it off. As I head upstairs I notice the beautiful light just begining to shine through the windows. I grab my camera, a jacket and flip flops and head outside. Why? Because I must make every attempt to capture the early morning beauty. I […]

Ever since I got Instagram back in November, I’ve been loving it. While I love my DSLR, there is just an enchanting charm that the little square instagram pictures have. I love the filters that you can choose from, I love the fact that they aren’t the best quality, that they usually have a bunch […]

My prom was a week ago on Friday the 27th of April. I went with my best friends and had an amazing time. I was going to post the pictures earlier but because of everything that happened this past week, I didn’t get to going through and editing them until a few days ago. Anyhoo, […]

” Our little baby, Sebastian Luke, went home to heaven today at 17 weeks gestational age.” {from an e-mail my mom sent out to family and friends Sunday night}. Sunday started out as a normal day. I woke up, got ready and headed out with my Dad at 9:15am for an all day retreat that […]

Hey guys! I wanted to share with you a quick tutorial for your nails. I’ve been eying some different essie nail polish colors which I finally decided to buy right before Easter. This is what my I did for Easter: Here is what you need: Scotch tape any solid shade (I used Essie’s “Fiji”) any […]

For the past four years it has been my tradition to make numerous Easter desserts on Holy Saturday. This year was no exception. I got almost all of the recipes from links on pinterest so I thought I’d share with you what I made and my own review/notes on them as well as my own […]

This post is mostly pictures. Pictures of my beautiful sister in a wonderfully vintage dress with amazing lighting and lush green undergrowth. And I know I already posted this first image but it’s my favorite. Besides I just saw that the April photo challenge at Lucia’s blog had the theme: Sunlit Portrait. Perfect!!! So since […]

Oh what to blog about? I have a bunch of ideas for posts circling inside my head, several of which have made it to drafts, but I haven’t been able to finish any of them yet. I have one on Easter, one on the desserts I made with recipe links, a nail tutorial, one filled […]

Today marks the beginning of my glorious, wonderful, amazing 10 day spring break. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. These past few weeks have been extremely stressful and this feeling of freedom – even if it’s just for a week and half – is amazingly welcome. I’ve been soaking up this incredible […]

Last Wednesday, our phone rang at 12:30AM. My dad and I were still awake and he answered, it was my Aunt. My dad’s younger brother was in severe pain and she had no idea what to do. My dad was pretty sure it was a kidney stone (he had one this past fall) so he […]
