Purpose

Last year, I kept a blog and I felt like it really did nothing for me. This year, I want this blog to be something I can come to when I want to, need to, or just simply want an excuse to sit down for a moment. No strings attached because the truth is, I have other priorities. What will happen here? Lots of rambling (and typos, tons of them, I'm the typo QUEEN!). Some giveaways. Mommy Necklaces Alerts. My Running Journey. Photos I Take. Whatever I want it to be. My blog won't be big and flashy. You won't find all the 'bells and whistles' you see on many of todays' blogs, but you'll find me here. That is exactly what I what this blog to be - a place for me. And in doing so, maybe you'll all get to know a bit more about me and the mom behind the beads.

So to start, a few things that you may or may not know about ME!

1. I have two super cute kid (who are incredibly energetic and mischievious!). Evan is 2. Megan is 5.

2. I love photography. (I use to have a photography biz but find shooting as a hobbyist much more relaxing.)

3. I love running more. (I am running the Chicago marathon this year.)

4. I love me some safe, stylish, and functional beads... ;) (MommyNecklaces.com, don't ya know?).(love you FANS! *smooch*)

For now, I'll share a bit of my first two - my kids and my photography.

While I use to find time to take their pictures almost daily, it seems those days have been far and few inbetween. Here are a few of Megan and Evan I took this past weekend. Thank you for letting me share and for being here. Remember, this is a come as you please, take your shoes off, and SCATTER! kinda blog. So get comfy and enjoy what nonsense (and freebies) I might have to offer.
