Welcome to the blog that feels more like a scrapbook of my favorite memories.
Because when was the last time you said, "Let's take a picture to remember how little fun we are having."
I firmly believe in embracing chaos, finding adventure and creating memories that will last a lifetime

Growing up in rural Iowa, I was always blessed with countless beautiful sunsets.

“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery.
