  • I turned 38 this morning. At 2:47 a.m. to be exact. I know this because my mom starts texting me every March 24 to remind me of the labor she went through that day/night . . . it typically ends with a, “you’re welcome.” That is normally after my dad has already sent me a “happy birthday” text every day for the last 2 weeks since my original due date was March 14. I just ate my birthday donuts and drank my birthday coffee (which is normal coffee, just on your birthday). Even though in-person fun has been cancelled this year, those texts from my parents haven’t changed. I know my grandparents will call me today. I’ve been opening birthday cards all week. There’s promise of gifts coming in the mail. The only thing I’d ask for this year is for you to comment with how you’re helping someone else during this time — it may spark an idea for someone else to pay it forward. <> #birthday #bekind #38 #march25

  • @sydney_ignet started a Design, Technology, and Innovation club at Miami University and Chris and I got to speak to the group tonight about our careers via video Skype. The first thing I noticed when we got on the video was that my sister was the only girl. Actually, she’s the President and Founder of the group. This is my work notebook I had sitting in front of me while we were speaking to her club. Sydney and I may have quite the age gap . . . but the one thing we have in common is that our Dad has convinced us we can both do anything. Even if we’re the only girls. Especially if we’re the only girls. . . . . . . . #feminist #feminism #mencanbefeminists #leaders #sisters #miamiuniversity #gobobcats
  • There’s a lot of steps that go into writing a book. But there’s one very important step called, “Leave work early and drive to a town whose biggest attraction is Bob Evans and Rural King (whatever that is) and put pajamas on before 4pm and lock yourself in a hotel room all evening to work through edits.” Today is that step. Red pen official. . . . . . . #littleredbird #littleredbirdpress #writer #author #secondbook #becauseisaidso #creative #storyteller #edits #bookedits
  • We got to visit my childhood friend today and I was lucky enough to take photos of his family’s newest addition. Their family is not on social media — so this one felt like the perfect one to share. It’s like the little guy knew. . . . . . . #newbornphotography #columbusphotographer #photography #photoshoot #photos #canonphotography #mycanonstory #canonrebelt6i
  • I am so excited and honored to be serving on the Board of The Marcus Project, a nonprofit founded by Shannon Schaeff Rosenberg. You may remember Shannon's story from my "30 Portraits in 30 Days" project (and the photo of her adorable son!) where she shared her heart and thoughts on adoption. The Marcus Project will be focused on several amazing and necessary things, but most notably The Marcus Project will be providing loans for individuals and couples pursuing adoption as well as providing coats for kids for the winter months.

  • It's February! Which means it's the month I swap out the ring I normally wear on my right hand for this blingy heart shaped ring. I wrote about the stories behind my rings on my blog a little awhile ago. If you want to know why I love this ring and why I wear it every February, click the link in my profile and search “rings.” . . . . . . #february #valentinesday #ring #jewelry #heirloom #heartring #love #gaudyjewelry #grandma
