Owl Hat Winner & Mother's Day Gift Idea

Mother's Day is in a few weeks people! Do you have gifts yet? If not here is a fun idea! I recently shot a Mother/Daughter session for the super talented Katie of Food Wine & Mod Podge and her mom Joy!  (Click to see more from the shoot!) It was so much fun for all three of us!

Rice Krispies Making Memories Challenge #1: Easter

I am so delighted to share our Easter display for the Kellogg’s™ Rice Krispies™ Making Memories Challenge.
