THINGS I ♥ THURSDAYS :: MY BIRTHDAY GIRL ♥
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know how much I’m obsessed with my daughter, Emery. Sometimes Matt and I just sit and watch her do her “thang”, whether it’s dancing, singing into her echoe-ing microphone with her eyes shut, making a Celine Dion expression. Or it may be when she makes...

BEFORE & AFTER :: THE FUN STUFF!
