My shadows are watching.

This is way easier said than done isn’t it? So I keep it in a place where I can easily be reminded. For I have 6 little eyes watching my every move. They are the best copy cats I know. For better or worse they do what I do. Let it be these that they […]

Yesterday Brian and I celebrated 10 years of marriage. So much has happened in that span of time. Kids, jobs, several different states. We have changed a lot, grown a lot and lived a lot in those 10 years. In honor of our wonderful 10 years together here are 10 things that have surprised me […]

Ten years Chicago style.
