Photos As Storytellers and a shutterfly giveaway

Weekend Links – Shop, Shop, Shopping Edition

Happy Black Friday y’all!  So who were the crazy ones that went out last night or this morning?  Having a newborn teaches you one thing that I had started to forget; there is no discount, no promise of crazy good deals that could get me to sacrifice sleep.  You sleep when you can get it, […]

Reflections On Thanksgivings Past

To this day, this is one of the favorite posts I’ve ever written, because I can so clearly recall my emotion from that day.  I had just recently returned to work full time at James Perse, and I was traveling to New York a lot. I have always been torn about working, even when I […]
