Meet Miss Laurie Ann, she is an absolute delight. We had the joy of meeting Laurie while we were in Calgary a couple of weeks ago. Laurie did an all day mentor session with us. Laurie is the type of person who is a sponge, she actually reminded me a lot of myself in that respect. She brought along a notebook that was full by the end of the day. She scribbled down anything and everything that she could as Chris and I were talking and teaching and already just a week and a half later I head over to Laurie's site and see so many of the things that we talked about there :) Laurie is a girl that is humble and confident... such a brilliant combination when put side by side. 

We covered a lot of ground in our 8 hours with Laurie. We shot together, we laughed, we had the best strawberry mango mint smoothie of my life, we got honest and we had a ton of fun. Laurie is radiant and I am so excited for the places she is going. Also, if you enjoy cooking, Laurie does a weekly post on her blog- she is an amazing baker and cook and she just did a post on some delish looking mixed berry oat bars... mmmmm! Cannot wait to warm my home by giving my hand at those once our lives slow down a bit. 

And for those that wrote on yesterday's post about my dad, thank you. It was a little scary to put myself out there like that, but it was something I needed to do for myself.  It is nice to know this is a place we can be vulnerable. I appreciate each of you who wrote :)
