a look back at 2017
This year was a very wild ride for me. I experienced so much that it’s crazy to think only 12 months have gone by. It went so fast & so much happened. I went on some memorable adventures, had many opportunities come my way, & have tackled quite a few fears. It’s the year that…

monday morning encouragement: embrace different & unique
Lately I have had just no confidence in myself & in my work. Well, actually I start out feeling really great about it, feeling really proud of it, but then I let one comment or flaw completely change that. Are any of you feeling the same way lately? It’s such a real struggle & just…

monday morning encouragement:

12 months of rae
Today my niece turns 1 year old! I can’t believe it’s already time for us to celebrate her first birthday. This year has honestly come & gone so fast. I can remember the day she was born so vividly as if it literally happened yesterday. I documented the day from beginning to end & shared it…

celebrating 5 years of blogging
Last week my blog turned five. FIVE! I have no clue how I’ve been doing this for five years already. It seriously blows me away that I have had this space for that long. It’s been a ton of fun, a lot of hard work, a bunch of great opportunities, & quite a bit of…

Last summer I had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot with a local photographer, Danny Lemaire of Lemaire Photo. I did the shoot to celebrate my blog turning four & I’m just now getting around to sharing the images. It was such a dream to throw on this summer red romper & head south of…

i love my mom, i really do
I never truly knew who my mom was until my grandpa died. I never knew how much I needed her, how much I loved her, or how much she truly supported me until we both had to walk a path of grieving together. My mom has always been a friend of mine. She was a…
