• I have many journals that sit on the shelf at home. They chronicle many aspects of my life. I love to look through them, enjoying the things I have written or the pictures there in. It is my hope that as you look through these pages, that you too will enjoy the things placed so lovingly here.
    It has been a journey that has seen me through many joys and a few heartaches. From the start of Crimson Chickadee and my growth as a person and as a photographer. From the realization that how many fans I have on my facebook page does not merit my worth, to the swelling in my heart as I hit publish to a post that I know will mean so much to the intended recipient.
    I hope you join me often, with a good cup of coffee, and enjoy these pages as much as I do creating them.

What’s that? You say you have some news…

I have been keeping this under my hat for a little while, but I am so excited for March 1st to roll around.

What is so special about March?

I will be published!

That’s right you will see my images in print, along with an article I have written. YAY!

Each issue I will be chronicling raising a daughter in the country. It is going to be surreal to see Dolly in the middle of a magazine spread! I can’t wait for the first issue to arrive so I can show her.

The magazine is a new magazine with their premier  issue being  sold out! You can still get a digital copy if you wish to see all the goodness it holds. Of course print issues are always  so much better so head on over to the Dirt Road Daughters Magazine  and  get your subscription today!

Ladies who give their all

It looks like we are on the way out of the deep freeze we have been in. I want to share with you what four very dedicated ladies have been up to while we have all been in our warm homes, with our heat on, maybe the fireplace burning if you have one.

This video is heartbreaking. To imagine that these poor animals are out in the cold, hungry breaks my heart.

I am going to ask you today to give up one thing this week that is a luxury. Be it your morning Tim’s, a package of cigarettes or maybe supper at BP’s. Instead of spending the money on those things make a donation to the Precious Pets Animal Rescue. You can do so by clicking on the donate button on the top of this page. They can’t do it on their own.
