Abby brought the sunshine with her to her senior session up in Boulder! This Cornerstone Christian Academy senior was a pure ray of JOY throughout her entire session. We started at the base of Chautaqua Park in Boulder, where we found lots of wildflowers in bloom. Then made our way up to Lookout Mountain for […]

Allison is another gal who I met because her sister was on my team previously! She’s busy, busy because she’s involved in basically everything at Ralston Valley, but I love seeing her when she’s not at soccer practice, working on something for student government, or buried in homework! Allison is smart as a whip and […]

What a brilliant idea for a #bookstackchallenge!! My friends @bluntscissorsbookreviews @thebookblondie and @poketsized_pageturner all teamed up to create a #stackchallenge that stretches you to think #beyondmyshelf.  They started to see a trend in reviews where books received a lower rating because the reader didn’t “connect” or “relate” and they want you to think a little […]

If you grew up reading Patterson’s books, you will enjoy this fresh take for teens.  If you’ve never read them it reads as a […]

“Running doesn’t seem like a very ladylike business.” – Fast Girls I started Fast Girls by Elise Hooper on the plane and promptly finished it on my first day of vacation.  Y’all know how much I love historical fiction books & any literature with strong female leads.  But this author is also always an auto […]

Day one in California was a total blast!  The boys built a sand castle, we rode some massive waves, and I finished TWO books.  So far, that’s the perfect vacation.  One of the books I read was Miracle Country by Kendra Atleework.  The book is part loving memoir of her family, part natural history of […]
