Last year for Christmas we celebrated in Chattanooga since I was 9 months pregnant with Sierra. My family came up from Fort Lauderdale and we had some special time with both sides of our family! It was a particularly exciting Christmas Day, because we had a White Christmas! It hadn’t snowed on Christmas Day in...
While in Dauphin Island last week, one of the places that I wanted to go explore was a nearby public beach. Ron and Kathleen had told us that it was not crowded and had huge sandbars stretching far into the sea. So, after a bit of morning relaxation… We headed off to see what we...
Last week we found ourselves on a new adventure! Rich’s Uncle Ron had the great idea to get away together…Rich’s brothers, their wives, and the kids. And that is exactly what we did! Ron and Kathleen had been to Dauphin Island, Alabama, before and it was their idea to introduce all of us to the...
As has become tradition since Alana was 1, we had breakfast one morning at the Jet Runway Cafe at the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. We LOVE this place…great food, great service, and best of all, the private jets take off and land RIGHT outside the windows! Alana loved it just as much as always, and...
Last night we returned from a blissful week in Fort Lauderdale with my family. I don’t know how, but a week always manages to fly by as if it were three measly days, and we always find ourselves driving home feeling like…well, like it just wasn’t enough time.

On Sunday, March 7th (in the lobby of the MGM Grand), we met Gabe in person for the first time,...
Wow. It’s been a whirlwind month so far! I hope my blog readers are doing wonderfully! I have missed you over the past two weeks since I last blogged. I wanted to blog a quick blurb to let my readers know that I just posted an update of our WPPI experience in Las Vegas on...
Our dear friend and incredible logo designer Steve Hamaker from Southside Creative Group is also the designer for Taco Mamacita, an ah-mah-zing local restaurant with unbelievably good food. Mike and Taylor Monen, owners of Taco Mamacita, needed photos of the new store they’ve opened in Nashville and we were excited when Steve approached us with...
The day after Christmas was a very fun, beautiful sunny day! We decided to head to the mall in the morning, just to grab a few holiday sales. Alana LOVES to play in the yard, especially since my parents cat, “Tigger” (called “Tiger” by Alana), wanders the yard and actually lets Alana pet her occasionally....
