My friend Jade asked me to take some pictures for her new business. It is called Lil’ Sprouts. She is making absolutely adorable costumes for little girls. You can get a full Halloween costume for your little princess for only $30. That includes a tutu, hair bow, and set of wings. The bows that you...
Hey Lyndsey!!! Yes that's Ave!!!
I teach with Jade- the girl that's making the stuff.
Yes! Small world. She is absolutely beautiful and I got some really pretty pictures of her with those gorgeous blue eyes.
Is the girl in the first picture in green named Avery? If so that is my cousins daughter. 
My bestfriend from high school, Keri, and her beautiful 10 week old daughter, Elliana, were in town and came over to spend the afternoon with us today. It was such an amazing time….we have one of those friendships that just “works.” No matter how long it has been since we have seen each other or...

Glad you girls got to hang out! Keri's smile is the first thing I noticed about her too. Elliana is gorgeous, nice job on the pictures.
So I started blogging a couple of months ago and it has definitely been a lot of fun. I had no idea how much I would enjoy it! There is one thing I have had to learn though….NOT to check other peoples blogs who make me feel inadequate and like an utter failure as a...

I'm not a mom…but comparison is an easy trap to fall into. A few weeks ago at church the preacher talked about how comparison is a tool of the enemy. I keep reminding myself that each time I compare myself… Your blog is great! I especially enjoy the pictures and music.
The Pioneer Woman makes me feel the same way and I don't even have any kids!!! I can barely just get myself together most days.

amen girl! i too have to be careful about reading all the popular mommy blogs. :/ i have to constantly remind myself that I am Luke's mom, because the Lord wanted me to be … any there's no one that would be better for him. easier said than done/believed, so it does kind of become a mantra … love it! thanks for being transparent and REAL! love!
amen sister… i had to quit comparing LOOONGGG ago… it makes you miserable and no one is you… you are utterly and perfectly unique! others envy YOU too!
I couldn't have said it better . . . oh wait, did that sound like a comparison?! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. No one is perfect and we need to be reminded of that once in a while. Like Trina, I too have called you Superwoman or Supermom before!
I second Trina! And I second your Pioneer Woman thoughts. I have been to her site a couple of times, I drool over the recipes and then never attempt to make one. You are one of those women that lights up a room, you can't ask for more than that!

Wow, I think you couldn't have said it any better. It's funny because I always describe you as "Superwoman" to people. I guess you are my Pioneer Woman in a sense…lol.
Carissa, I can't tell you how much enjoyment I get from reading your blog. You make me laugh and I think that is a gift. Laughter can do several things for a person, burn calories, strengthen ab muscles, relieve stress! Everyone has their own gifts and talents and I know you are a great mother. I always look forward to your blogs so keep writing those great stories and life adventures and challenges you face.
SO incredibly true & well written. In so many ways – its like highschool all over again – only we are all grown up! I guess its part of being a woman. We constantly compare ourselves to someone. Blogging & facebook do the exact same thing to me – I compare my life, marriage, career, friendships, etc to everyone else's. Thank you for your thoughts C – they are so true!
Michael’s parents let us take their motor home to the OSU versus Georgia game to tailgate with friends. Our friends Daniel and Emily took his parents motor home as well. The 10 of us (that’s right, TEN of us – they also have three kids ages 4 and under) loaded up and headed up to...
