Dayton is called the Gem City for a reason and that is, no matter how much pressure falls on us, we just use that pressure to create something positive.

New Zealand Kitchen
While we were in New Zealand a couple months ago, Brant caught a Wrasse fish at the beach that was walking distance from our bach, on the South Island. That fish became our lunch and he was delicious! I decided to document Brant hard at work in the kitchen for my very first shoot for…

For the love of Turkish Delight & C. S. Lewis
After eating an amazing lunch at a little Turkish restaurant in New Zealand, we ended our meal with a Turkish Delight. Neither my husband, nor I had ever tried this delicious treat. Most people we have asked in the states haven’t tried it either. It was a beautiful pink color and tasted like a tiny…

Happy 6th Birthday, Paisley!
Today is Paisley’s 6th birthday!!! The last year has been so rough on Paisley (read her full story here), so I thought I’d do a very special birthday session for her. Yes, I’m aware that I’ve been thought of as the “crazy dog lady,” and that by sharing this session, it will only strengthen that…

Kauai Hawaii Day 8-14 ~Finale
Day 8- May 8th, 2014: We went deep sea fishing. The water was very choppy, so I got sea sick. Ginger chews helped, but it was basically me throwing up, fishing, throwing up, fishing… you get the idea. Even though I was sick it was still really cool and a lot of fun. We each…

Homemade Ginger Ale
Homemade Ginger Ale Several months back on one of my sister and I’s visits to the wonderful restaurant Meadowlark, we enjoyed a glass of their homemade ginger ale. We each took a sip and our eyes widened. “Mmmmmm, mmmmmmm!” It was similar to the dinner scene from Bill Murray’s film What about Bob. If you…

Mondays
My Mondays are now for Bible study. Studying the word of God, I’m ashamed to say, is not something I have made a priority until recently. I now set time aside for coffee, prayer and Bible study on Monday mornings. I’m not putting this out there to try and impress anyone and I don’t want you…

travel
Traveling Having been somewhere new fills my soul. It latches on and becomes part of me as I receive it gladly. I’ve been baptized. Cleansed and wiped clean. Reset. After a trip, I’m both liberated and yet somehow constricted. On that flight, the time between being away and arriving back home is something akin to…

Kauai Hawaii Day 6-7
Our flight to Kauai from Oahu was pretty short (about 30 minutes) and was around $120 round trip. We came back to Oahu our second to last day to fly home. The first thing you need to know about Kauai is that there are chickens… EVERYWHERE! Wal-mart parking lot, chickens! Side of the road, chickens!…
