I’m coming to realize that the small things in life make up the big things. It’s moments like these that you will remember the rest of your life.  Mother’s Day was this last weekend and it was a time for me to reflect on my wonderful mom and all the other amazing ones out there! I, like many others, have been blessed with an amazing family, but more importantly, with a mama like no other! I especially have realized this over the {Read More}

So, this is something that’s been swirling around in my head for the past month. I’ve continuously thought to myself, “I’ll write when I have something good to say or when I have better pictures to post.” It seems as though I’m always waiting for the perfect time to do something.
