Memory making & experiences above all else

10 whole years of Molly Jo Collection, likely barefoot and on a step stool in your living room. Where has the time gone? Instead of saying it flew by (it both did and didn’t) I really wanted to take some time to sit with this. The time has gone to both you and me, you […]

A year ago! We were sitting on the couch in the morning at home. We just made some big life changes and we felt really proud of ourselves for how limitless our lives were shaping up to be. This was the morning we decided, together, to get married! We had burnt grilled cheese and tomato soup […]

We LOVE the Hermus family!!! It was the biggest honor to head to their home to take some photos celebrating baby Jacob and his homecoming. They are all under one roof for the first time since Jacob became part of this wild world, and everyone is adjusting so, so wonderfully. Jacob is SO content, showed […]

Bring the holidays into the mix, and you bet the second Thanksgiving ended, our little apartment was filled with twinkling lights, pine scented candles, spruce garland, whimsy ornaments and we even […]

I wrote a post last year at this time, and the year before that. As families hang together and eat way too much, this time of year makes us think about what we love and what we lost, mostly. When thinking about the holidays this year, I can’t help but to selfishly think about loss […]
