We're spending the weekend in North Carolina. My big brother is getting married! We're happy to get away for a while and break up our normal routine. The past two weeks haven't been stellar so this is pretty awesome for us. While we enjoy family and the cooler weather - my sister has crunchy...

          It's been a little quiet around the blog front as I've been dealing with doctor appointments and tests along with our everyday things. When our real life looks like a behind the scenes mess, inspiration for the blog - or anything, really - doesn't exactly flow...

38/52 - She's looking more and more like a teenager these days. When did her hair get so long? I'm doing this series - a portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013. Link up & find more from this project her...

Lia is a "dress-up and play pretend" kind of kid. She's got a basket stuffed full of firemen hats, princess dresses, doctor supplies, magic wands, a tutu, and a few random halloween costumes. And today we added a dinosaur tail. Because every toddler wants to be a dinosaur right? I love catching...

  Yesterday was one of those kind of "in the trenches" days. It was just messy and all too real. The dishes were piled up in the sink and across the counters and stove to boot. There's a pile of things growing up the stairs. And I'm pretty sure you can guess what the current state of laundry...

36/52 - A Saturday afternoon nap. 37/52 - We ducked into an alley to snap a few quick pictures but all the people walking in and out of it made L pretty unsure of the whole thing. Cue the awkward smile.    I'm doing this series - a portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013....

I'm happy to see September has arrived! While the temps haven't cooled down much here, the lovebugs are out and that can only mean that Fall is coming. I am a Fall kinda girl. Give me chilly days, bowls full of hot soup & chili, trips to the apple orchand and a stack of Meg Ryan movies...

    I rarely have "a case of the Mondays". I like the idea of a fresh week and for now, L doesn't have school on Mondays so it's usually a good day for us. I guess Monday just wanted to keep things in check.   So, the dog thought it would be fun to sleep in one of my favorite shirts....

When we decided to buy a house here, we ultimately decided to go with building a new house in a relatively-new, growing neighborhood. What it lacks in charm and personality, we gained in a loft and extra space and a substantial-sized backyard. But, it's still got a builder stamp on it....

  I don't know why it took me so long to post this but earlier this summer we took a weekend trip to North Carolina to see my family. It was a short trip and other than a quick family portrait session we did ourselves, we really only had one day to hang out. My...

I have to say, since September is here and all, I'm pretty excited. And once again, I'm reminded that there's nowhere like New York in the Fall and I'm nowhere near New York. What's a girl gonna do? I turned twenty-seven last week. Most of the weekend was ran by one hell of a cranky toddler, albeit...
