I've moved!!

A new website has been on my list for ages. I love being able to share my thoughts and ideas on a blog, but I really wanted additional space and pages to be able to share my photos, works and more.  It was a labor of love, but I am so excited to share my new site: www.stephaniemakes.com. Go check it out and let me know what you think! I'll be sharing my blog posts and photos there from now on!

Seattle

I spent the weekend in Seattle at the Click Away conference, and like I say every time I visit the west coast - if it wasn't for my kiddos, I'm pretty sure I would have just stayed.  The weather wasn't the best in Seattle (which I hear is pretty typical), but the conference was phenomenal and the people I met were amazing!

Scenes from the backyard

The feel of fall is finally making it's way to North Carolina and we couldn't be happier.  The grass in our backyard is finally starting to green up again and our plants are slowing blooming. We're hopeful these cooler temps decide to stick around for a while because we're ready for boots, sweaters and everything pumpkin!

These days

These are the days I want to remember.  The slow and steady. The crazy and wild. The in-between.

Having these two home with me over the past few weeks has been what my mama heart needed. I miss them both tremendously while they are at school each day and I still struggle with where I should spend my time or how to fill my days. Being a stay at home mom isn't easy and can often be very lonely, but I love being able to say "yes" to just about any and everything in their lives. So here's to the little, quiet (and not-so-quiet) moments I love to capture.
