It’s a Giveaway!!! {Gingez Shop 100 Fans & Counting}
As a small business owner networking with other small business is important to me, and in my networking I’ve made some good friends. One of those friends is Virginia, lovingly called “Gin” by all her friends. Gin is the owner, designer, creator behind Gingez Shop and Finishing touches by Gin.
She creates everything from Custom Embroidered T-shirts and Bibs, to Key Fobs and Wristlets!
I personally adore her products and have nothing but great things to say about working with Gin! The quality of her handmade products are great, her designs are custom and unique, and she has great communication with you during the process!
I met Gin when I ordered Big Brother, Big Sister, Baby Sister shirts to celebrate the pregnancy and birth of our youngest child.

Father’s Day Contest & Giveaway!! {Family & Child Photographer, Lewiston MN}
Dad, Daddy, Daddio, Papa, Poppa, Father- Whatever your family calls them, the most important men in our lives are often our Dad’s or the Father’s of our own children.
I am lucky to have both.
My Dad is amazing. The bond between Fathers & Daughter’s is always special, but for me it was special in a different way. My mom passed away when I was 7, and my Dad has always been the most important person in my life. Our relationship has had it’s ups and downs, but the love has always been constant. I can’t put into words what my Dad means to me, and believe me I’ve tried (just ask him) but I always end up in tears (happy tears). Being around my Dad literally melts my heart, and seeing him with my children makes my heart a puddle.
Love you Dad.
Remember I said I was blessed to have both.. My hubby, is an amazing father! I’ve been with Ron for almost 10 years, and it’s been amazing to watch him grow and to step more and more into his role as a Dad with each of our 3 children’s births ( Ayden-5, Ava-3, Adeline- 7m).
The older Ayden gets the stronger that bond between Ron and him grows. They are best buds, and it’s amazing how different their relationship is from mine & Ayden’s. They talk superhero’s, lego’s & sports, we talk cooking & pictures. Then there is Ron and his girls, he is so wrapped around their little fingers … I love it!! Each of his girls has a special nickname that doesn’t make sense to anyone outside of our family.. Ava is Derka, and Adeline is Addington or Derka Jr. I am so glad my girls have such a special bond with their Daddy and can’t wait for them to experience that magical bond on their wedding days! *tears*
I could share many many images of Ron that are near and dear to my heart. But there is 1 image that stops me in my tracks every time. It was taken by the amazingly talented Becca Wersland (www.rebeccawerslandphotography.com) at the birth of our youngest daughter Adeline. They say “A Mother’s Glow”?? well, look at that proud papa glow!!
I Love you Baby! Thank you for being such an amazing Daddy to our children!

Poem: My Hero
A Godly love, given without compromise….
I recall many times that he stood by my side,
And prodded me on with great vigor and pride.
His voice ever confident, firm and yet fair,
Always speaking with patience, tenderness and care.
The power and might of his hands was so sure,
I knew there was nothing we couldn’t endure.
It’s true, a few others provided insight,
Yet, he laid the foundation that kept me upright.
He’s the grandest of men to have lived on this earth,
Although he’s not royal by stature or birth.
He’s a man of great dignity, honor and strength.
His merits are noble, and of admirable length.
He’s far greater than all other men that I know,
He’s my Dad, he’s my mentor, my friend and hero.
