I’ve shared before my boy’s love of trains and our recent trip to see Thomas the Train. We stop and look at trains, we have 2 basic wooden train sets, we rode on trains many times! Our boy just loves trains! Thanks to TOMY we were able to their brand new motorized train track a…
If you are anything like us, you’ve found yourself with too many toys that simply take up space and never get played with. It’s easy to accumulate a lot of toys that serve no real purpose in your home other than they were gifted and forgotten. I’m especially over toys that a) consume an insane…
We’ve got BIG news!! We’re moving to TEXAS!! All 5 of us hopped on a plane to go home hunting last week. After two and a half days and about 22 homes, we came down to two homes we really liked a lot. We deliberated a bit about the pros and cons of both then…

When we moved across the country, I was worried about being able to find a photographer. We had been using Verte Photography in Colorado for years and being in a new state where we knew no one made me doubt we would find someone here. However, as fate would have it – I found…
