2014 Remembered

January 8, 2015

The beginning of a new year carries with it an ironic feeling, of sorts — optimistic yet a little unsettling about the unknowns that will surely happen. To rewind a year ago, I knew we’d be moving into a new home… I just didn’t realize that home wasn’t going to be the one we had purchased; but rather, built across the country. 2014 involved lots of change, many life lessons learned, closer relationships, a much anticipated soon-to-be baby girl, and much to be grateful for! This year, we’re resolving to: take one day at a time, filled with more of what matters most with the ones we love most! Come what may, we plan to make 2015 a year full of smiles!

January — 30 Pieces of Wisdom

February — Eat. Sleep. Snow + Snow Cream

March — Cake is Always a Good Idea

April — Egg Garden

May — We’re Moving + Boys Birthdays (2nd, 4th)

June — Pinch Me with Sprinkles on Top!

July — The Crack of Dawn + Land of the Free

August — Cooking with Flowers

September — Tiny Town

October — Dear Baby + C’est la Vie

November — Me, Oh My!

December — Family Date Night + Merry Christmas

    Lovely, Missy. I would love to see your completed kitchen, what your wall color looks like with the cabinets you choose. Is it open to your family room with the fireplace? Are the fireplaces propane? Also would love to see your kids rooms.=) You have great taste and love seeing how it all comes together.
    Also would like you to discuss your blonde sometime, I know you get all over foils, highlights, but how often do you go and do you know the color blonde they use? Thank you. Bet you are busy getting ready for baby girl. Would love to see the nursery too. Lots of requests to keep you busy.=) Thank you Thank you. xo

      Yes, the main room is basically one big room (kitchen, dining, family) in one. Yes, all fireplaces are gas. Kids rooms are definitely a work in progress and it’ll be some time before I feel like I can give a decent home tour! ha 😉 For blonde, I use Aveda (not sure the formula) and go every 6 weeks. 🙂

    Love this! I think you should do a post on photography tips because I love how beautiful you can make an everyday photo! 🙂

    Love this post and I LOVE all of your photos! I am sure you have been asked this a million times, but what camera body do you use? What is your go-to lens? Thank you so much and your family is adorable. And I can’t wait to see Baby Girl in a few months! xoxo

    Where or where did you learn how to take such great pics? Seriously! Am curious – are you self taught? They are really wonderful.
