reasons for thanks.
I woke up this morning feeling groggy.  Brett was heading out to run the Thanksgiving day race downtown like he does every year.  He had kindly asked me to go make some coffee when the alarm went off.  I attempted to drag myself out of bed and walk down the stairs.  The kids were already up and screaming- fighting over what they wanted to do, and who was going to do what first.  I ignored it and kept walking towards the coffee pot.  Brett came down and began stretching in the kitchen.  It was silent so I asked, “So what should I post on the blog today for Thanksgiving?”  I heard nothing.  Switching my words up a bit…..”Any ideas of what I could post on th

I have had the same group of girlfriends for what seems like forever.  We all went to a very small elementary/high school, and we formed relationships that resemble “sisters” more than just “friends.”  Most of us met at different stages along the way, but the group of us have been tight ever since. Nearly 11 years ago, I was young.  :)  Tracy and I were in the same prego boat.  We had no clue what we were doing, but we managed to bring a little boy and a little girl into this world just 5 months apart.  We were kind of pioneers in this new world of motherhood amongst our friends, but we had a lot of fun together trying to figure things out.  We spent

studio3z order deadlines + some randomness.
I find it incredibly hard to believe that this year is already nearing it’s end- YIKES!  I’m a bit nervous to whip out my list of “what I wanted to accomplish in 2009″…but maybe I should so I can hurry and try to do them.  ;)  But before I jump tooo far ahead of myself, I wanted to make sure and  let clients know our print order deadlines. If you would like to place an order for prints, canvases, or DVD of your files, you must send me your order by December 1st (at the latest) to receive it by Christmas. Was that a little absurd to bold the whole line?  I just wanted to make sure you saw it.  :)  Also, If you have a special cir
