Good Friday...

"He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.

By his wounds you have been healed."

1 Peter 2:22-24

There are few things I enjoy more than looking back at pictures of my girls... It's amazing to remember them much smaller... Especially at the end of a long, hard day... To relish in how truly blessed I am... And to be reminded of how quickly time is passing... I remember holding each of them in my arms for the first time... Holding them as the slept so soundly that nothing could wake them... Holding them at six months old as they squirmed to get out of my arms... Holding them when the tears fell over a bumped head or a skinned near... Motherhood is the most difficult job in the world some days... But it's also the most beautiful...And don't these sweet little faces prove how infinitely worth it it really is?

Here's a little inspiration with my newest, The Olivia Kit, inspired by none other than my very own Olivia Kate!

A Little Bit of Pretty {The Hunger Games}

I rarely jump on any bandwagon... At least I try not too anyways... But I have to admit... I really, really liked 'The Hunger Games'... I read all three books in only a few days... And actually slowed down a bit near the end because I just didn't want it to all be over... Katniss and Peeta are everywhere these days... Including in this beautiful stylized shoot via 'Style Me Pretty'...
