…these two, i love dearly. other than my relationship with the Lord, they are definitely my main priority. lately, i have found myself working on several different projects all at the same time, while trying to keep our house clean and my life organized. somewhere in the midst of it all is my husband and little one.

with this being said, i want to simplify my life. this life is too short to be focusing on stressful to-do lists and being hurried. the last couple of weeks i have been traveling some and haven’t been on the computer much at all. (it has been a wonderful break!) after some thinking, i’ve decided to make some changes. after my family and my home, photography is my next priority and i have every intention on continuing with it. i have a passion for capturing beautiful moments and i’m going to continue to do so.

Jesus Christ would be the gift of time.”anne ortlund

anywho, this blog has a little place in my heart. i see it as a hobby and an outlet to be creative. as of august, i will no longer be accepting sponsors and ad spaces…this is just another step to take in simplifying my life. maybe one day, i’ll have sponsors again but for now i’m going to put it all on hold. i’m so thankful for y’all being interested and reading this little space! i’m truly grateful. i will continue writing on here, but if i don’t reply to every comment or visit different blogs and websites- please know that i am trying my best to use my time wisely and i truly appreciate your kind words and love! so here is to focusing on those that i love and what i love to do all the while simplifying my life a little bit at a time….

“there is nothing more important on your ‘to do list’ today than to be the heart of your home. it is no accident if you are a wife and mother. you have been given a special gift, God has entrusted you with taking earthly care of your spouse and children. use this day He has given you to show them love…grace…compassion…and the value of family. make your home a warm, loving and welcoming refuge. their safe haven. ask God to help you do His will for your family. show them the love of Christ, through you.”

love,
