I took Raven to her 18-month doctor’s appointment yesterday, and let’s just say that her memory of her last trip there must have been crystal clear since she immediately looked terrified. Poor girl! Luckily, she only cried for about 15 seconds while getting her shots and then was happy to nestle her face into my …
Every month on the 10th (or thereabouts), I post ten (ahem, ISH) pictures of my daughter Raven, who we’ve been taking a picture of every day since she was born. I’ll have you know that this month is the closest I’ve ever come to actually keeping the photo limit at 10. Progress! 1 // Bedhead …

My own mother, upon hearing of this particular branch of insanity, had to reassure me …
Well, here we are–another month over, another 10 on 10 post (and I, once again, am a little late to the show, this time due to a hair appointment yesterday an hour’s drive south for me, which somehow basically took up our whole day). To say that this summer has been passing by insanely fast …
