My adventurous soul has lead me here – and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Growing up, I was privileged with the gift of travel. My grandparents were wanderlusts, they were always going somewhere and I admired that. I believe that if you die where you were born, you haven’t lived enough. Somehow, as a child, I ended up in a town where no one wants to live, but that move ended up bringing me the best thing in life, true love.

When I was 17, I met my husband who just like me, was ready to make a big change. We moved spontaneously, and haven’t stopped moving since – we have lived in 5 different states and have loved each of them. We are parents to 7 under 11. Our latest grand adventure was twins! Our sons were conceived naturally, so they were a total surprise, I went to my regular doctor’s appointment at 32 weeks and within the hour of an ultrasound taking place – they were born. Currently, we are in the process of learning to split our time between newborns and soon, we’ll learn if they are identical or fraternal.

I love photography, everything about it except the business portion is beautiful. I spent the last 7 years taking photos for families, specializing in documenting maternity, birth & newborn moments. After the birth of our 5th child, I realized that I wanted more out of motherhood. I wanted to be present, to be there, always. I still channel my creativity through taking photos of my own children and those who are close to me, but I don’t take paid clients anymore. I created the hashtag #sustainchildhood because I love educating others and helping them to better themselves in any way possible. I feel as though because I’m not using my talents, I may as well give away the knowledge that I have to help parents preserve childhood memories.

I started this blog because I live a full life of parenting. I have tried so many products and sometimes, they just don’t work. I wanted to create a space for parents to come and learn about products before they purchase them. Some of my product reviews are sponsored (meaning the company sent me a sample of the product to review) but I only work with companies that have a good moral standing in the parenting community. Those who love and embrace all family types. Also on this blog, I’ll talk about my adventures in parenting, parenting hacks and I’ll even share photography tips and inspiration. It is my hope that I can help you by making your life as parents easier.
