Our baby is all grown up!


My baby sister Chelsea had her senior prom this past weekend! It looks like she & Krystian had a great time! I can't believe she is so grown up! I can still remember sitting in my 2nd grade class & the principal coming in to tell me & my class that I had a new baby sister & that I need to collect my things because someone was coming to pick me up to go to the hospital to meet her. I was just as excited then as I am now for her to go to prom, graduate & begin her adult life!! We love Chelsea so much & our family would not be complete without her. She was the perfect addition to round out us Stutts girls! I hope that she DREAMS BIG ALWAYS & she will find all the happiness in the world throughout her life! I'll take words from a favorite song of mine...

Glazy Days

We did it! We actually got up at 4 o'clock this morning to make our way over to the local Krispy Cream Grand Opening! Yipee! While we were excited about one opening back up in the valley we were really on a mission to get a cool free t-shirt! We were in the top 100ish people & we did get our sweet t-shirts! Fun Fun! On a side note, I really don't understand how anyone can get up SO early on a regular basis... it will be a L-O-N-G day for me now, but it was worth it in the end! We snapped this photo right after we got home around 6:30, 2 1/2 hours-not bad! {I'm not really sure why the one of us turned out so bad, oh well!}

Thanks & Hope

I have had some incredible women in my life that have influenced my path for the better. I have a mother & mother-in-law whom I love, admire & appreciate. I have friends that are mothers, sisters that are mothers & cousins that are mothers. They are all amazing & beautiful! I am grateful everyday for the influence these women have in my life to help me realize when I am being irrational, to give a supportive hand when it's been a hard one & to laugh with on a regular basis. I am truly blessed this mother's day with amazing women in my life. I look forward to joining the ranks of motherhood one day & until then I hope for that special time in my life when I am ready & prepared! Until then I will keep learning, observing & practicing with all those little kiddos I am so blessed to have in my life! I love them all & enjoy their sweet spirits. Thank you for sharing you're lives with me!

A little inspiration (maybe for you, but totally for me!)...

To sit patiently with a yearning that has not yet been fulfilled, and to trust that, that fulfillment will come, is quite possibly one of the most powerful "magic skills" that human beings are capable of. - Elizabeth Gilbert

*Amber-Thank you so much for being so aware & loving to remember me & honor me on this day reserved for Moms! I was deeply touched, I love you!

Love Love Love

Can I just tell you how in LOVE with this set of chairs I am?! I wish I could just pluck them up and put them right in front of my bed. They would be the perfect accent to my bedroom! When I saw them it's almost like they were speaking to me, I love them that much! Weird I know! I'll have to keep dreaming though!
