A whole year has went by since I first saw his sweet face. I could say that he stole my heart, but of course, that’s a given. At the end of his one-year photo session, his momma handed me a card to fill out. The back of the card says, “first visitor”. It’s for his […]

The lady at the bank told me that I’m doing awesome things. Even though her words actually followed my lengthy explanation of my own struggles of juggling college and a business and everything else in between, they still touched me.

Now, realistically, that probably won’t be happening… not in […]
