I heart Keepsake Boxes
With a pale pink ribbon
And a mounted 5×7 print to either display in a frame, by easel or kept safely inside
I wish I could write blog posts about my oh so glamorous life. It just isn’t the case. During this phase, I’m just a mom, wife and housekeeper. The housekeeper part I do not say with enthusiasm. But it’s work that must be done.
Like yesterday…I decided that I was going to get rid of my spice rack and organize all our spices in the cupboard. Because a messy spice cupboard was driving me bonkers. Because apparently I decided that a neat spice rack was a priority for a Monday.
I wouldn’t trade my life. As unglamorous as it may seem right now. I love it. I love time to organize spices (and yes we use all of them) I might not love housework but I do enjoy seeing tasks checked of my to do list. Even better my house is slowly getting organized and whipped back into shape after much neglect during my pregnant months.

never put “just” in front of being a mom. Its the best, most important, challenging, and oh so rewarding job on the planet!!! U rock!
lol…I don’t mean it in the context of “just” as in I’m ONLY a mom. I just use the word just too much…clearly 
As a mother, most days I feel disheveled. In truth, most days I look disheveled. I get up with full intentions of getting out of my pajamas, doing my makeup, doing more with my hair then just a messy bun or ponytail. But life takes over, kids need to be changed, fed. Dishes reluctantly need to be washed and floors must be swept to get rid of the never-ending Boone fur. Before you know it, dinner needs to be made, the day is gone and the bedtime routine starts again.
But once in a blue moon there’s an excuse to dress up. A time to have an extra long shower, actually shave your legs. Make up and hair is done and it’s not half bad. And the outfit is new and one I’ve been wanting to wear for quite a while. You know the feeling. It’s like a million bucks. You not only look great but you feel great too! And in your head you’re thinking…if only I had a photo. One good picture so I can remember right now. How I looked, how I felt….
So why not do just that? Have a photo shoot, just for you, in your favourite outfit, your best hair and makeup. Simply to document you, right here, right now. Looking and feeling fabulous. You don’t need a reason. You wanting it is reason enough

Finally seeing my ideas come to life. So excited about the direction I’m going and loving how it’s unfolding.
I’ve sent emails, I’m making the connections I want to make, and I have a FABULOUS support group! Even more than I thought I had. Just goes to show who is actually behind you once you put it out there.
In some ways I’m actually terrified of what’s ahead but I know it’s right. I know it’s what I want to be doing and I know the timing is perfect. I don’t feel that way too often
Above photo shows some of the changes I’m making. New business cards, mounted 5×7 images and the accompanying black keepsake box. More on that in a few days.
On a sidenote, LOVING the pale pink! Have I mentioned before how much I love pink?
