i'm stacey a lifestyle photographer, blogger, and self-proclaimed dork, among other things. you can find me in surprise! arizona where i live with my high school sweetheart {lover} and three kids, whom i've lovingly deemed “the circus.” i have made it my personal mission to teach my children {and others!} to seek out the love, joy, and consequent gratitude found in ordinary, everyday life… all while consuming mass amounts of black coffee. you can find my daily musings and creative endeavors here, in my little corner of the web : *life as you blog it* thank you for checking it out...i can't even tell you how happy that makes me! cheers * stacey
