For the 1-year Old

My new standard gift for any girls birthday is an applique shirt (and a skirt if were related!). My niece is turning one and I was inspired by my good friend to make a birthday shirt with matching skirt with brown leggings. So cute! I can't wait to see her wear it!

Papercrafting

Summer Girls

My kids and I are blessed to be able to spend the summer with my family on Lake Michigan. And we are threre for 6 straight weeks. One of the highlights for us is getting to hang out with these three sweeties, my neices.  We had our own little photoshoot one day where I took 300-some pictures of them. This turned out to be everyones favorite.

God's creation

Michigan Raspberries

My Tyler likes to bake and create things in the kitchen. Along with the help of my sister he created Raspberry Vinegarette & Organic Raspberry Jam for the Country Fair. He was so proud of himself when he profitted $100.00!

On the shores of Lake Michigan is where you'll find me this summer. One of my favorites things to do there (next to lounging on a beach chair, hanging with my friends, watching my kids play blissfully in the sun, and just a short walk for a chat with my mom) is walk the shores looking for beach glass.

Happy Birthay to me!

I love the sunsets on Lake Michigan. We raced down to the beach to snap this picture. It was my birthday and we just came back from an over night trip to Chicago. We had so much fun. Thanks Ben! I love you!!
