This year’s bucket list was compiled in March when it was seriously like -60 wind chill. Okay, so it probably wasn't that in March but we did hit that low over the winter. It was brutal. BRUTAL. We gathered in the living room, probably gazing at 12 inches of snow out our window, and thought of all the sweet, sweet activities summer would bring us; swimming, beaches, vacation, living schedule free. ...
THE BLOG
ONWARD AND UPWARD
Hello! Oh, my gosh. I'm so excited to start this new blog. I've been wanting to do it for a few months because while I love the work I did for Jennifer Witt Photography, it's not a business anymore.

RAISING EMPOWERED CHILDREN
This is not going to be the most feel-good post. It's not the most feel-good topic. However, I feel like it's a topic that I need to address and it's a topic that needs to be talked about, openly and honestly, no matter how uncomfortable it is for us. So, for today, for just this one post with a more serious tone, hang with me and maybe you'll read something that you could be helpful to ...
