Wow! It has been almost a year (well not until November but still) since I have written on this blog.
So.much.going.on!!
We are in the process of building a new house and just trying to get through summer…haha, I said get through it! While I love the warmer weather, Â I miss the routine that school brings.
I hope everyone is doing well…I am hoping to revamp this blog and get my photography back in gear as well!
Until next time, have a great weekend 😀
some cool gift ideas!
Here are a few treasuries made by the new Etsy Team, The Artisans Collaborative:

Hello there! Miss me much? I have been busy and sadly neglected my blog again…well I hope to be back here more often and get some posts written on Sundays and out during the week!
The kiddos are finally back in school and this year, I get two full days with no kiddos (my son won’t be in kindergarten until next fall). So I am hoping to get a lot done, lol!
On to my Monday Mosaic…I got motivated (by checking out Little Canoe‘s instagram feed of all the awesome hikes she has done) to start hiking with my son every Friday. Â {psst she has a cute Etsy shop as well}
Our first Friday hike was Friday the 13th no less! I decided to go up Beacon Rock which I have never done considering I have lived in the Gorge now 12 years!  I don’t care much for heights so this was a bit nerve wrecking for me. It was only 1.8 miles round trip…not bad for my four year olds first “official” hike (we have hiked or walked along trails before). What got me were the wood bridges that crisscrossed up the side…you could see down below! It was pretty freaky being that high up and my son’s head was in the middle of the two rails…totally worth it though for the views! I took them mostly with my Samsung Galaxy S4 which I am very happy about by the way 😀
Happy Monday ya’ll…have a great week 😀
Today I am using my phone to write a post. Pretty cool!
My little guy woke up in such a good mood. He put on a shirt that I love and has been giving me the best complements!
Have a great weekend ya’ll and happy Friday 🙂
One day, while my daughter was happily distracted in her own marker drawings, I decided to risk pulling out a new sketchbook I had special ordered. It had dark paper, and was perfect for adding highlights to. I had only drawn a little in it, and was anxious to try it again, but knowing our daughter’s love of art supplies, it meant that if I wasn’t sly enough, I might have to share. (Note: I’m all about kid’s crafts, but when it comes to my own art projects, I don’t like to share.) Since she was engrossed in her own project, I thought I might be able to pull it off.
Ahhh, I should’ve known better. No longer had I drawn my first face (I love drawing from old black & white movie stills) had she swooped over to me with an intense look. “OOOH! Is that a NEW…

The family and I are headed out on an adventure to the Redwoods in California!
We are so excited to meet up with good friends and enjoy some nice weather and big trees 😉 The hubs and I haven’t been to CA since his cousin’s wedding (before we were married), so this is really exciting!
I had been really good at posting all last week but going to slack again for this week…but for a good reason this time. Before I go, I wanted to share a photo from yesterday that I took at a local water spot on the Little White Salmon River here in Washington. I hadn’t been to this spot since my daughter was little (she is 7 and 1/2 now!). Well it has its own big trees hence the spot is called Big Cedars Campground. Enjoy!
remember to look up!
my girl giving a big roar!
Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July ya’ll 😀
I am so excited to share that my products can now be found at the new artist boutique/collective, Kids in the Hood where you can find whimsical stuff for the kid in you!
I have a bunch of stuff in there from notebooks, to artwork, to my necklaces and now rings. A ton of stuff to choose from for sure. I would like to have my portfolio there so that you can see the other images I have and custom order something!
Here is a glimpse of my area (the store should be open tomorrow!):
