Weddings days are so rushed.. my big tip... even when you feel that rush, stop and breathe. Look around the room. Remember how you feel in that specific moment. Look at your family and friends’ faces. Take in the smell. ⠀
•⠀
This is the day you marry your soul mate, the love of your life. This is the day that two families unite into one. This is the day that you will reflect on for the rest of your lives. When you show your children and grandchildren pictures from your wedding, you want those monumental memories (like Katie’s first look with her dad) to come flooding back as you flip through every single photo in your album. #weddingdaymemories #karablakemanphotography @khensel_94

In the moment, this picture seemed like a challenge to achieve bc Knox was pulling Lara-Jill’s hair and biting her face 😂. Knowing the challenges behind it makes this picture that much more special. Every time LJ looks at this, she will remember Knox’s little personality and she will always remember how his little hands felt on her face. Mommas take on so many duties.. and knowing that this was a little bit of a battle picture to get, we see beauty. Even in the toughest times, when things look pretty, the messy part is the most memorable 💕 bc overcoming the hardships are one of the things that make motherhood and life so beautiful! •
What is the one messy thing in your life that has made you appreciate the memory of it??

So many fun things planned for the next few months! Between Christmas and some secret things we have in store for YOU - I can hardly contain myself!

Be sure you keep your eyes peeled because this is going to be so much fun 💕

Watching my best friend become a mom was one of the most amazing things.. then I saw her grow as a mom, as a wife, a daughter, a friend, a sister and in her faith. She brought me to our church and has been my sound mind in so many decisions. I am so proud of the person Aimee has become and so blessed to watch she and her family grow! Ps. Scroll to see some of the funny pics of the boys.. bc what would it be without some ornery pics of boys being boys ;)

A couple days ago, I asked for prayers for an opportunity that came my way. Yesterday morning, I had almost given up. I kept praying because I knew that if it was His will, HE would make sure it would happen. I checked my bank account a multitude of times, hoping that magically things would change.. God can do some amazing things, right? Jesus took one kid's lunch and fed 5,000 AND there were left overs.. I mean c'mon! It could've happened 😂 •
My support system.. wow. I am so lucky to have so many people in my corner who believe in me.. Friends, Family and of course Greg 😉 The stars aligned and last night, I was able to confirm my spot. So in a couple short weeks, I will be heading to the Abundance Workshop - in Columbus of all places! #godsighting #glorysighting •
Ben Hartley, thank you for being patient while I tried to figure it out. His story at United was so raw and real, touching every single person in the room. And boy.. did it hit me hard because I was able to relate to every single aspect. •
Let's talk about the word Abundance. This word has been inserting itself in so many aspects of my life, starting with the very first time I heard Joni Rogers explain her mission statement. •
Check out these different definitions of abundance within this context: 👇👇
Dictionary - plentifulness of the good things of life; prosperity.
Biblical Context - "Abundant life" refers to life in its abounding fullness of joy and strength for mind, body, and soul. 💕 •
The days of the workshop are so intensive that we will spend 13+ hours working on ourselves and our businesses. I am so ready to put forth this work so I can better myself, my business and my services FOR YOU, for my family and for my fur babies 😉 •
**Also: I am so sad for the reasons the 2 spots opened, so please send prayers for the 2 people who had to opt out.** 🙏 •

Tonight.... we have a winter advisory. Seriously already dreading this cold & gloomy weather. To make up for the sleet, clouds and below 30 degree weather, I’m going to fill your feed with sunshine, palm trees and cacti 🌵 •
If you could escape the snow, where would you go? Let’s dream big! •
I’m going to pretend I’m in Bali or Greece or someplace warm that is in their warm season now! #imdreamingofawarmchristmas #isitspringyet

This little girl taught me what it is like to be a mom for a week. Granted, I didn't have all the mom duties because her super-mom was right there but, the love I feel for her is so big. I cannot imagine being a mom because the week I spent with Emma’s minis filled my heart and cup so much. I pray that God blesses me with the ability to have babies (sooner rather than later.. especially not in my late 90s like Sarah in the bible) so I can watch their walk with God and see their love for all the things grow. I know this world can be such a cruel place but I pray that our God will protect all the kiddos and lead them to Him

A girl and her dog 🐶 Brooklyn and I loved this one straight out of camera... Rilynn’s love for her fur babies is something else! And how she managed to keep a hold of them still blows my mind! Huskies are such strong pups and Rhilynn held on strong 😂
