We get asked often why we had kids so stretched out...12, 8, and 5. It's not what we had hoped for as we wanted to have kids closer together. We were shocked when we found out we were having Zane and then several… instagram.com/p/BzLK9zSgskj/…

Sometimes we just don’t want attention on us, even if it’s good. Two of our kids get embarrassed by a lot of attention focused on them and one loves it. Which type are you? Here’s to a Friday embracing all our… instagram.com/p/BzQLUTwASRo/…

This day last year we got onto a plane to the states with all five us in tears. We were excited to see family and friends but we wanted to know we were coming back to London, what had become our new home. I'll never… instagram.com/p/BzYBVGYAFgB/…

I'm learning from her that you don't have to have it all figured out. You just need a dash of confidence, some creativity and a whole lot of fun. What do you learn from your daughters? . . . . #motherhoodinspired… instagram.com/p/BzvGjHxgpVY/…

Three years seems like such a short amount of time and then I see this picture and it seems so long ago too. I mean, look at Veda in this photo! Three years ago today, we landed in London to make this city our new… instagram.com/p/Bz0OTlFgRoF/…

Seventeen years ago today I walked down a grass aisle in super humid heat to marry this amazing man. I could not have imagined how our lives would have so many ups and downs and that experiencing them together… instagram.com/p/B0I4tJsgoGB/…

We get asked a lot about what it is like to live in a major city, especially after moving to London from a fairly quiet Indianapolis suburb. There’s the obvious differences like the cost of living (hello high rent!).… instagram.com/p/B0n9ObQAjgQ/…

Sometimes plans don’t go as expected and you have to embrace what is different instead. This past week our family had plans to be on holiday out of the city but a number of things made it so it we had to stay home.… instagram.com/p/B1JFuC6gI94/…

As we sort out the direction God is leading us in several areas, it’s also been so key for us to dive more into our Enneagram numbers and coming to a deeper understanding of ourselves. I listen to the… instagram.com/p/B1OxjEdgzq0/…

Summer break is almost over here. I had all these plans of things for us to do over the summer and while we did many of them, many were left for another time. Instead we had lots of days of creative playing at home,… instagram.com/p/B1tqXjkgIs4/…

It’s the first day of school for our littles today! (Zane starts on Friday). Veda is starting Year 1 (kindergarten in the states), Jude Year 4 (third grade in states) and Zane Year 8 (7th grade in states). It’s… instagram.com/p/B1_I7Iwg3jr/…

I'm an Enneagram 3, and let me be real, this has its challenges as a woman. One of the hardest things is being misunderstood. I'm fairly open about challenging ideas and bringing new ideas to the table. I have a… instagram.com/p/B2jeymGgPZT/…

Time with myself, all alone, is not at the top of my list. I really do love spending time with people and since I like to get stuff done as well, I really like spending time on work. I love that we have people in… instagram.com/p/B267_QKgvfy/…

One of the questions I get asked a lot is still about my photography business. I was the crazy, frazzled photographer with the spring and fall seasons. When we were expecting our second child, I knew something had… instagram.com/p/B3rtkPmgaul/…

Gratitude is teaching me so much right now. I've been writing five things I'm grateful for each day for over a year now. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We've had some challenging times in the past year and taking time to be thankful for even… instagram.com/p/B3uXQXLAW3N/…

I started my photography business over 12 years ago because I wanted more time with these people. A few years into it and I had LESS time with my family. 😩⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I felt burned out and was working crazy hours doing… instagram.com/p/B4ARQyxAUSa/…
