For Mother’s Day, Josh set up a fun photo shoot for me complete with floral crowns and crisp morning light. He sure knows the way to my heart! He is insanely talented at taking photos (as well as a million other things)! Josh planned this a while back and kind of sprung it on me 3 …

This time last year, I was dreaming what it was going to be like to be a mother. (I wrote a blog about it here). I wondered what my life would look like with a tiny human in it and how life-altering it would be. I was extremely nervous but also super excited. I would …
