What a great post Andrea, thanks for sharing! This is oh so true. Sometimes you just have to put a smile on your face and laugh, even if you don’t want to!

i wasn’t a morning person at all. i’m still not. but i’d just plaster a smile on my face until i felt like actually smíling. and it worked.

eventually, the smile would be genuine.

Wegerzyn Gardens Portraits Dayton, Ohio Photographer

When I met Rock’s family, Emily was just a little girl. I guess I didn’t realize how quickly a ten year old grows up into a senior! She has a vibrant, bubbly personality & the confidence I was always looking for as a teenager. I love that she was so enthusiastic & willing to let…

Have a Lovely Easter

I love these wooden eggs that I wrapped in lace. It’s an easy rustic DIY Easter project for anyone who wants a lovely centerpiece without any fuss. You can use scraps of lace & the eggs can be re-used year after year. We all love something that is eco-friendly, right? For many of you it…

Seafoam Wedding Color Love

Pantone chose Honeysuckle 18-2120 as the color of the year. It is beautiful, but to be honest, I keep coming across varieties of Seafoam. Especially in interior & wedding design.
