Family Focus Friday | My Wildflower I know. I’ve been slacking on the Family Focus Friday posts. Life has been so busy lately with Spring Break and work and “mommying” that I’ve been almost dreading writing on a Friday. But it’s so important to make sure that every week I slow down from the posts […]
Sunset in Washington DC | Family Focus Friday I will never consider myself to be a great photographer. But are moments when I look through the camera and I am left in awe. Could I have taken that photo? Over Thanksgiving break we drove the family into Washington D.C. for the day. We saw some […]
Dinner Surprises | Family Focus Friday Thursday. Oh Thursday, how it always comes down to this. This Thursday, we were feeling extra pressure. Playing catch up from our cruise, stressful jobs and looming holiday on the horizon…you can imagine the scene. Feeling pretty deflated from our busy week, my husband and I made a decision. […]
A Day at the Pumpkin Patch | Family Focus Friday I was so hesitant to write this post today. But for those that read my Family Focus Friday posts every Friday, you know how important it is for me to document my family’s life journey. It isn’t perfect (where’s my make up?) or staged just […]
Retreat! Retreat! | Family Focus Friday No, no I’m not referring to parenting today. Today’s Family Focus Friday actually refers to a different kind of retreat. A marriage retreat.

What I Learned During the First Week of First Grade | Family Focus Friday I know. I know. I’ve been really slacking lately on the Family Focus Fridays. The honest truth? I’ve been tired. Like really tired. Coming home from a press trip (no sleep) and right into the first week of school (no sleep), […]
Family Focus Friday | Something Is Missing Here One of my favorite things to do these days is take picture of my kids. Being themselves. And lately, this little camera ham has been LOVING the spotlight, even asking to “picture me.” Seriously, can she be any more a blogger mom’s daughter? But on this occasion […]
Family Focus Friday | What Do You Do When Your Phone Photos Are Erased There are days when I adore my phone. Then there are days when I HATE my phone. Insert one of “those” days. Soooo….as a blogger, I have this horrible habit of taking lots and lots and LOTS of photos on my […]
Family Focus Friday | First Sparklers I had to mentally prepare myself for this day. I mean after our theme park nightmare and more recently our timber incident, I may or may not have had a pail of water, fire extinguisher and 911 on speed dial. Just saying. But capturing the awe of a child’s […]
Family Focus Friday | I Lied Blatantly I have a parent confession this week. I lied blatantly. It was a conscious decision. And it’s a weight that carried with me all through this week. And I felt so ugly.
