Hello. I’m Julie. I live in southern Illinois. I have two teenage sons. I’m happily married.

My world involves taking kids to school and picking them up. I also go to A LOT of ballgames. My kids are awesome ball payers! My house is filled with me and my husband, the two kids, one dog and one cat. We have 7 Jeeps right now, but that could change at any given moment.

In my past life I was a graphic artist and creative director. I gave this all up in October of 2007 to become a professional photographer and blogger. So far the photography gig is booming. Blogging did not come as easy as I thought. I thought I was some kind of exciting individual that everyone would want to know about, but the more I do this, the more I find out that I’m just like everybody in the world—living one day at a time and doing the best that I can
