Georgia on my mind

Welcome the newest addition to my family! Georgia is an absolutely amazing 4 month old kitten who loves playing, eating, finding laps to curl up on and being the most adorable cat ever!

Stop the presses

via pinhole press

I have been looking through my pictures from my week in California since the minute I got home. Some of them are awesome, some a bit embarrassing, but all of them are wonderful memories. Thus I decided to give my mom another present and create a pinhole press photo book for her. I heard about them from A Cup of Jo and have been dying for the right occasion to create one — I can’t think of a better one than this!

To my baby

Happy 3rd Birthday Willamina Bear Brier

Tweeting in the family

Picture 2


My brother wrote this in May 2009, when Twitter was getting picked up at a frantic pace and questions of its usefulness and legitimacy where everywhere, and on everyone’s tongue.


“A few weeks ago my grandma asked me about Twitter (for whatever it’s worth) and over the last few months both my parents have gotten accounts. In thinking about this, it’s kind of a perfect platform for parents looking to keep up with their adult children. I realized in a conversation this morning that the answer to the common Twitter question, “who cares what I ate for breakfast?” is your mom. She wants to know that you stubbed your toe, ate a hamburger and went back and forth to Atlanta yesterday (the last actually happened). It’s exactly this sort of information that keeps you close to your loved ones (though obviously more detail would be nice, but that can always be provided in your other interactions).”


This really is true. (Please Note: I don’t love admitting Noah is ever right but, when the brother is right he deserves credit!) There are times where my tweets are specifically directed to keep my mother in the loop. When I know I can’t call, or haven’t spoken to her for some time, a quick 140 character tweet perfectly satiates her need for an update. It’s also great because it means having to give less back story when I finally get a chance to catch her up!
