The Afters

Welcome to the Yeoman’s house.
Friend and fellow photographer, Bobby of Wildrose Photography invited me to come over to photograph one of the last days in their first home in Spruce Grove. The home where her and Justin started out as a couple, raised two children, Max & Rachel, celebrated milestones as a family, decorated their walls with family photos and memories. But, the walls are shrinking around them as their lives change, they need room to grow for their family, it’s time for a new place and In a week after their session they’ll be at their new home, beginning renovations, starting fresh.
When I arrived, one of my favourite bands was about to set up and start their warm up for their upcoming set that morning, The Afters. Asked the hubs, if I could take some photos, he gave me the thumbs up & ever so thankful that I always have my camera with me to get a once-in-a-lifetime-for-me-shot of these guys playing.

Thanks Afters for making an errand to bring hubbies wallet so much better then what this momma could've asked for. The only downside was I couldn't stay longer to watch them play because the youth delegates would be entering and jamming the place full and I needed to head before they did. Hopefully, one day I'll get to go and hear them play in concert.. but for now, I'm on a total music crush high that I had this little golden opportunity! Love Life!

Making it pretty for the holidays: DIY on the cheap

It'll be our 2nd Christmas in our new house, last year I didn't do much in dressing up our home for the holidays however, this year I've been searching through Pinterest looking for inspiration. I went on a pinning spree late in the night, planning out what I'd like to do. I saved my Pinned list to my phone and went hunting for items that reflected my list.
My plan was instead of hitting up the typical decor stores I'd do a little hunting for my holiday treasures.

Remembering, Remembrance Day

I took a drive today around the city, after all the ceremonies, taking pause to honour those that have served and gave so much of their lives for so many. With the little I can do, my heartfelt thanks goes out to each individual that gave so much.

The Road Less Travelled.. why we chose to homeschool

There was a point in my life, where I thought the idea of home schooling our kids was beyond me. After all, I didn't graduate from high school (short 1 credits), didn't have a college/university degree, I did attend a trade school....but somehow I still didn't see that I could go down this road. I thought, seeing as I didn't get the education via University.. or a a teaching degree therefore I must not be equipped.. or so I thought.

Honouring those who serve

We grew up as army kids, my dad served in the military (Royal Canadian Regiment, 2 RCR) up until I was in grade 1. My dad's the guy you'll always see sporting his pro-militia t-shirt, his 2 RCR lapel pin, his yellow ribbon magnet on his bumper of the car and he'll be the first to support his friends who have served. So back In October, my dad and I took an overnight road trip to Penticton BC to meet one of his buddies, Bob, that has served for our country.

In the good ol' summertime

Summertime It's only January and I'm thinking about summer, torturing myself I know~ …. But, in all honesty, it can't be helped. I was going through organizing my personal images when I stumbled upon an overnight camping trip with my friend, Trish and her daughters out at the lake. This was one of the last trips before the end of the season, the leaves were hinting that they were about to change colour, the smell of fall was in the air and soon we'd back into our routines with our families.
