Nothin’ says lovin’ ...

like somethin’ from the coven.

Happy Halloween.

Spending the afternoon with this particular bump

is a blessing that I count twice.

Picking one favorite to share today,

or even a handful,

was - understandably - hard.

Without a doubt.

Enjoy ... and stay tuned for more.

lauren's baby shower | teaser

Our family is anxiously awaiting the arrival of yet another sweet little babe ... and we are so excited! Thrilled and happy for our cousin, Lauren, and her husband, Jeremy.

Yesterday, a baby shower was held in honor of Baby Cason - and I was asked to take pictures at the lovely affair. I simply had to share this captured moment ... how I love that petite little bump on that dear cousin of ours.

Stay tuned for more.

on my mind today

65 days

wishing and hoping

Some say ‘leaving on a jet plane’.

I say, “Stick me on a train.”

This one, if you want specifics.

My, how I wish

I was on my way to Hogwarts this September 1st.

But whilst I am waiting for my trip to Platform 9 ¾

and dreaming of my

warm and cozy four-poster in Gryffindor Tower

and Chocolate Peppermint Toads ...

you, my dear readers,

have quite a lot to look forward to

on this most neglected of blogs.

So, until then ...

... I will be reading.

90 days

i'm glad mine is

Families are Forever.

100 days

And the countdown begins.

Or continues, in my humble opinion.
