I know that all ya’ll already know that Mr. Jack celebrated his first birthday (really, it’s his second, his birth day was his first birthday, right?) this weekend. We all spent the whole day together as a family. We visited the Gulf Breeze Zoo and it was bigger than I thought a little regional zoo [...]

…for your patience and votes the last two weeks as my little handmade stop motion short went from entrant to semi-finalist to finalist. So many of you blogged and tweeted and shared it and I am so grateful! It was thrilling. I won’t know until later this week if I was one of the finalist [...]

I haven’t been this excited about a project in a long time. I’ve been losing sleep over it for days (that spinning mind that won’t wind down) and you should have seen me tonight- I was just outta control with adjusting lights and getting Garth’s opinion on exposure and white balance and the background color.

Mr. Joshua is my younger brother, right next to me in a line of 6 kids. He is super smart and wildly creative. He and I have taken it upon ourselves to document our family and our lives on film and in photographs. Our combined creative to-do list could travel to the moon and back [...]

So, in honor of the newly formed friendship between video sharing site and conservative LDS college, I [...]

You can find me at the Port City Farmer’s Market just about every Wednesday night! You can also find me talking about it in this promotional video. Totally rad.

Here I am at the eleventh hour still sewing away, with a list of things to bake for tomorrow. Luckily my sweet husband works a night shift tonight so I am undistracted presently and he’ll sleep in tomorrow (so I can too!). I am finishing sewing projects for nieces and nephews that I’ll see the [...]

Hi friends and neighbors. My life is a little wonky at the time being. Some updates: I’m still constantly sick. I drove to the Columbus, GA Red Robin last week for my third interview for management. Today I turned down the position (and the two months in Spokane, and the moolah!) because I don’t think [...]

And, something very special is happening this week. 10 points if you know. xo elle!
