I’m going to be a little shorter today because this gallery from Ashton Marie is a total DREAM, and I just couldn’t wait to share it with you. A few weeks ago I got the amazing opportunity to paint a beautiful scene during a live wedding shoot. It was such a dream (truly all the […]

PICTURE THIS: Birthday… 2020…  Snuggled with 3 babes, covered in who knows what and hasn’t seen anyone outside our home in 2 months (remember quarantine?! That’s when I turned 30. Literally the worst time in the world to turn 30… but i digress…) I opened a preciously wrapped paint palette, and not just any palette […]

Memories are a funny thing — I think sometimes we spend so much energy thinking about “what if the photographer doesn’t get *all* the shots I want?! What if what if what if? And don’t get me wrong, photographers play a valuable role in the wedding industry (helloooo I love my wedding photos!)…BUT IMAGINE IF … that same feeling you get from pulling out the ol’ photo album is how you could feel when you see a beautifully unique painting of YOUR WEDDING on your wall everyday.  IT’s not only a centerpiece, it’s a conversation starter and something to be cherished always in every season everyday of your happily ever after — not just something to be pulled out on a special occasion…

HOLY COW, watercolor is my SELF-CARE.  It’s how I spend time meditating.  I use it for prayer.  If I haven’t done it, what the heck have I been doing?!

Remember that one time in art school?!

Me neither… *crickets* What I do remember? *gestures a facepalm*

Slowly losing my MIND in 2020 when I felt claustrophobic + stuck in our house for weeks without an end in sight.

Literally, the day before our official lockdown “lifted” (quotes because we were still super careful and still are), my hubs got me a birthday present — a brand new watercolor palette…

Motherhood sanctifies us in ways we never imagined (or at least, I never imagined!), but since we’re being made into new things (i.e. moms…) it’s by definition a true work of art.

Motherhood is JUST LIKE ART — I’M not kidding. I’m diving into 3 ways that motherhood is a true and beautiful work of art. Let’s go…

How do you feel about hearing yourself talk?! I’m talking voicemail, voice recordings, Instagram… you get my drift… Me? I cringe. LITERALLY CRINGE hearing myself talk. I think — oh my goodness I actually sound like that?! Every time… BUT—that’s not going to stop me from sharing this AMAZING thing with you. I WAS ON […]

Secret time? I didn’t love The Office when I first started watching it.  Call me crazy, but I just couldn’t handle the cringe factor of the first season. BUT—I stuck with it (100% because my hubby LOVES IT and it was and still is his favorite show ever), and I not only adore the characters, […]

If I had could have a million dollars or a really long nap on Mother’s Day, do you know what I would choose? The nap. I’m a little bit kidding, but mostly serious because MAMA NEEDS SOME SLEEP, Y’ALL! It’s been almost 6 years since I’ve slept through the night. So? This mama needs a […]
