We have hired MANY different photographers since having kids. Newborn photos, various milestones over the first year, family pictures, maternity sessions, and holidays. We’ve found photographers we’ll never use again and ones we’ll continue to hire… investing that time and money can be hard! I worked with friends at Catalyst Design & Photography in Rockford IL to come up with these tips on how to choose a photographer.
How to choose a photographer:
1. Meet your photographer in person before working with them, if possible. Chemistry with your photographer

Last month I talked about being an ambassador for MY M&M’S and how excited I was to order some fun personalized chocolates for my friend’s upcoming wedding! We had the customized MY M&M’S at my wedding (6 years ago!) so I know these wedding favors will look great at her wedding in August. I only used text on mine, so I was

Welcome to wedding season! When you reach the age all of your friends start to get married, you end up with years and years of wonderful celebrations. I love weddings! We have three to attend this summer and early fall. One of them is for two good friends of mine, Jason and Erin. We’ve known each other since our high school days!
I remember

When my husband and I got engaged, we started planning for a wedding just over a year away. Plenty of time! Right? It seems like it, and I know many people plan in much less time, but wow does it go fast! There are so many steps and a hundred bazillion details. It can definitely be stressful at times, so I say right when you feel like you need a break… go register!
Creating a wedding registry was so much

We don’t really celebrate our “dating anniversary” anymore, but we did for so long that the date January 10th will always be remembered. On that day in 2003 (our senior year of high school), Steve and I went on our first date. He picked me up with a beautiful bouquet of purple snapdragons and we went to a nice Italian restaurant.
After that summer of fun, we headed to separate colleges… he went to Iowa State and I went to University of Iowa. We were two hours apart. We did our best to see

My husband and I have been married for just over 5 years, but I still remember creating our wedding registries… yes, it is a lot of fun to “shop” for everything you want and to picture your new life ahead of you, but at the same time it is overwhelming! What to add? Blue or red?! AHHH. I gave Steve the scanner thingy. I mean, boys and their toys… it’s a tool and a laser in one. It’s like magic. He loved it and

Thanks so much to everyone who commented here, FB, twitter, etc. and made me feel much better!! I almost feel silly now for worrying about it, but I truly blame my doctor who lectured me into feeling like a terrible mother. Glad I’m getting a new doctor in a couple weeks.. for the ultrasound! YAY!
Anyway, I feel like I’ve been doing too much complaining lately so I thought I’d post about fun things. Honestly, being pregnant is (so far) a lot more work and pain than I ever thought it could be, but
