Tweens and self-esteem – The be.Tween Project
When did parenting get so hard? Actually, when hasn’t it been hard?

But these tween years – all of their struggles […]
Cottage dreaming and learning Lightroom
We have had the most AMAZING summer! Hubby was able to take two weeks off and we rented a gorgeous cottage on Lake Huron – as in right on the water.

Spring Desktop Wallpaper (and mobile too!)
