Hope your St. Pat’s Day was fun! I wanted post my family photo (one of the few I have of all 6 of us) before Easter! Yikes, this year Holy Week, seemed to sneak up on me, how about you?

It is hard to believe it has been a whole year since my family announced that I was expecting. Click here, to view a home video that we made last year, for our special news. Little did we know than how much (twins!) our lives were about to change forever!

Love,

Jess

P.S. What does it say about me, that I made the cookie photo larger than my family in the collage? hahaha – love them both!

A Few Shamrock Touches

Shamrock ribbon in a jar

Sideboard cleaned up for March

During my last thrifting trip I picked up a framed shadow box with a silver clip inside. I think it was for a wedding photo or something. I added in a shamrock ceramic ornament.

I propped a vintage St. Pats postcard up on a black scalloped pedestal candle holder.

Erin GoBraugh (Ireland Forever)! Anyone else have a black speaker to decorate above the TV?

May joy and peace surround you

Contentment latch your doors

And happiness be with you now

And bless you evermore

Love,

Jess

Green Week is Complete

This past week I allowed myself to slow down and notice the color green, as a symbol of new life.

{The change in weather, a 65 degree increase from Day 1 of Green Week, is an incredible bonus.}

I was able to absorb the turning of the seasons using photography. Ironically, most of my Green Week photographs were taken indoors, featuring everyday items that had been with me all winter long.

For my last “day” I was going to do a morning:: noon :: night style presentation with the green I found but…

Instead, you get a morning :: morning :: morning

Thank you for watching along with me as I embraced some hope and change that were anything but political…even if it was green.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
