I am taking a big deep breath. I’m about to carve my first cake & I want to get it right! I’m all nerves & jitters, but the hope that icing & cake crumbs can fix a disaster make me feel a little more confident. Kevin’s birthday is Friday & this mama refuses to not […]

    There is a poem about krakens by Lord Alfred Tennyson; I read it today with my students. You could incorporate it into his birthday on a table tent or something. Enjoy the party!

    Oh my, THANK YOU! That is such a neat poem & I’m sure there’s some way I can use it… it fits in perfectly with the old world sailing theme! THANK YOU!

    I love this, Andrea. And I can totally relate at this point in my life. As much as I enjoy my kids and husband, I was (untill very recently) the one sitting on the side lines watching. I just didn’t have the energy. Until I started drinking two 50 ounce bottles of water a day, quit eating junk food, and started exercising, I didn’t understand why I always felt to tired. More than that, I was distracted, stressed, unnerved. But, since I’ve started taking some time to myself and doing things that make me feel good, I’m beginning to enjoy the parts of my life that I love most, even more. I wish you luck in your endeavor, and motivation and stamina. The biggest hurdle for myself will be sticking to these new changes. And in that, making mine and my family’s lives better.

    Melanie, thank you for sharing! I completely agree, even feeling less tired + more energetic is reason enough to eat better & exercise a little! Even if losing weight wasn’t part of the equations 🙂

    Anything that helps us & our families is such a win win!

    What a beautiful reminder 🙂 I know exactly how you feel!

I am so excited to share the pictures from Brynn & Ryan’s Day After Sunrise Portrait Session at Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island {the beach below The Chanler}. We wrapped up their wedding & woke up before dawn to flirt with the sunrise. For me, it was a special treat to have such an […]
