confessions of a photo junkie mom
Are Christmas cares a yearly tradition in your family?. For me, they are a time to reach out and reconnect with people that I haven’t seen or talked to in a long time. I want them to know they are still on my mind and in my heart. Not everyone is on social media theses […]
Are you looking for something to do with the kiddos during Christmas break? There are no shortages of events and activies in NoVA. NoVA Parks puts on its Bull Run Festival of Lights every year and it’s a great event for all ages. My kids had a blast as you will see in the gallery […]
And POOF They Were Gone
Midnight on October 31st is like the Cinderella story of Halloween. But instead of carriages turning into pumpkins, pumpkins turn into, well, Christmas trees. Halloween morning there are pumpkin patches on every corner, and then November first – POOF, they are were gone. Here is to the last of the pumpkin patch kids, before we […]
It’s officially fall and I haven’t even shared my family summer memories yet. Can you tell I’m not ready for summer to be over. I love summer. I think it’s an amazing time of year where the kids really get to just be kids all day long. Every summer we take a family trip with […]

My husband came home the other day to find a tiny sized red cap and gown that I had brought home for our daughter’s graduation. He was less than amused… When it comes to things like this he definitely subscribes the the Mr. Incredible school of thought. I could just hear what he really wanted […]
I received this adorable rocking horse from a family with five amazing little girls. Okay, they’re not so little anymore, in fact they are all pretty much grown up and no longer playing with rocking horses. I’m not entirely sure at what point this particular rocking horse made its way into their home, but either […]
I often forget to let my kids play in the rain. In theory, it sounds like such a fun thing to do. When I put on my cool mom hat and think about all the fun things I’m gonna let my kids do, jumping in rain puddles is right up there at the top of […]
“Copper, will we always be friends?” Tod asked. “Forever and ever,” said Copper. “Maybe even longer than that.” ~ Disney We adopted this sweet little plott hound / collie mix the summer our first family dog, JD, passed away.
