My Kid’s Favorite Books to Read Themselves

What Did My Son Get for His 9th Birthday? | Portland Oregon Children’s Photographer

For my son’s 9th birthday, my husband got him this: Of course, my first thought was, it doesn’t go too fast, does it? Luckily, it doesn’t, and my son can easily turn off the motor just by tapping the break, so it’s pretty safe. He found this little gem on craigslist for super cheap and fixed…

My daughter had her 6th birthday party in our backyard, and it was an art party. I love that her birthday party is at the end of May because we can usually get away with an outdoor party. This was a fun party to plan but it was definitely time-consuming. The rainbow jello pops took…

It was nice out today (but windy!) so we went out behind our property and took photos. Because that’s what I do! 😉 They were being unusually sweet to each other, it was amazing.
