Party Time

Ultimate Blog Party 2011

What a fun idea!  My house is way too small for a party this big so thanks to these great bloggers for hosting such a fun event!  To the non-blogging world I'm sure it seems a little strange to share our lives with each other but I know for me it has been such a blessing to have people that are walking through life with me via this blog!  I love the advice I get, the encouragement and especially seeing all of the cute photos of my friend's children!  My blogging friends inspire me to dig deeper into my faith, shop smarter, live healthier and photograph better!!

While you are here I hope you'll follow too!!


Storybook Reality is just a real life storybook.  I love the word picture of life as a book-chapters unwritten, story unfolding.  So this is my story....

I'm a Christian.  I'm a wife to a wonderful man in the Air Force.  We have a sweet son Stafford, or Little Guy as he is often referred to here.  We currently live in Charleston, SC but are relocating to Tacoma/Seattle in the summertime.  I worked as Student Affairs professional for 8 years until I started my new job as a stay-at-home mom.  Being at home has it's challenges but they are so rewarding and I am very blessed to be able to do so! 

Things I love-cooking, reading, UK basketball, learning new things, being creative, flowers, jewelry, my dog Bear, my dear friends, decorating, learning to run and making time for my family!

This blog is a place for me to do all of those things and share how things are going!  I love to share recipes, projects, pictures and whatever else is going on at our house!  My life has been TRANSFORMED in the last year because of one word: thankfulness.  God has blessed me so much and I strive to live in a constant state of thankfulness no matter what the situation!


Me & the Little Guy

My sweet husband Peter & his sidekick Stafford
I hope you enjoy the blog hop! Can't wait to start sharing things with new blogging friends!!
