we had our photo session with a local photographer recently. i love the charm that finds its way into pictures when you take them in an area you love. for me, that's any kind of city/downtown area that's full of old buildings, brick walls or cobblestone streets. ps.  i just can't believe...

yesterday was pretty great. i mean, at first it was nuts because i ran around town ALL DAY LONG. half the time with a toddler, the other half with a cranky toddler and a legit crazy dachshund. but then after rushing home with pizza, the hubs had the idea to go to the beach. at 5 o'clock on a wednesday...

this week started off great but between L's cough and me catching something, it quickly turned into the kind of week where almost nothing gets done and we just bunker down at home. lia is feeling better and practicing how dramatic being three years old can be. i'm almost on the mend. i managed to shower...
