You know how it goes … You take one million photos of your travels/your kids/your adorable puppy and they just sit in an album on your phone. This was totally the case for us with all of our roadtrip photos. As I’ve mentioned before, we… Continue Reading…What to do with all your phone photos

I shared this photo a few days ago on instagram: We just recently had the walls painted, new trim and carpet installed and things are looking so much fresher upstairs (more on that soon!). We still have trim to caulk and paint, pictures to hang… Continue Reading…A tricky little trick to make instagram photos one million times better
My iphone is like an extension of my arm – it’s by my side at nearly all times of day (and night).

The card designs are fun to enjoy, but the best part is always the family photos.… Continue Reading…family photos {before & after}
