Merry Christmas

This year for the holidays I was lucky enough to get a new camera that I have wanted for at least the last 10 years. My husband and my family blessed me with my new toy- the Nikon D5200. One of my bucket list goals is to become an established photographer (within my own family) and capturing moments you would see in movies and in magazines. I have a love for those types of images. This holiday season I thoroughly enjoyed taking pictures of my 9 month old niece and grandparents. Here are some of my favorites. 

My mother (middle) and her wonderful sisters.

Mothers and daughters.

 Oreo.

  Quanto è bella.

A little inspiration

I am easily inspired by a good quote. Not just any quote, but one that makes you feel like you're a part of a movie and really gets you thinking. My house is subject to having inspirational quotes all over the place. Some people laugh at how many I have, but hey, it does the job of getting my mind going and gives me a little pick me up where and when needed! Here's a little reminder that we need to think of more often.

An Early Resolution

I'm sure many of you can relate to the feeling that New Years' resolutions are thought about on December 31st, implemented on the first few days of January and then almost immediately forgotten about until the next year rolls in. Many of us don't even think about achieving our January goals any other month of the year, however I am turning over a new leaf and before the New Year rolls in I am still working to achieve my goal from 2013. I have always played around with the idea of starting a blog.  I have such an appreciation for photography, crafts, organization, children fashion, design and music and I would like to share that with other people who also have appreciations for those things. So as a result this new blog was born. I hope that you find some ideas, get some laughs or just a little enjoyment from the things that make me smile. Thanks for reading!
