Eight years ago today I pressed publish on my first blog post here at Spot of Tea Designs. Guys, it’s a post about paintings I made of my apartment BATHROOM! But I pressed publish as I wanted to be able to share the creative stuff I made for myself, family or friends in a digital environment and at first was pretty adamant that it wouldn’t be able my face.

Fast forward not even one year and I realized that many things were wearables or made more sense to show the personality behind the craft.

Over the years I got married, and moved into our first home.

Then baby number one came and two years to the day baby number two arrived.

In all that time of blog life, besides my wedding, I never had photos done by a hired photographer. Sure I’ve had good friends capture some shots or did all the settings on my camera and hopped in for my mom to capture a shot.

But this year, for the first time ever, our family had professional photos taken as part of a mini session!

Heather Michelle Photography captured all the smiley photos seen in this post and super excited how they came out.

I have plenty of cute photos of my kids but I’m so happy to be able to be in some too! Don’t be too surprised when you see these on our Christmas card in a few weeks!

And thanks to everyone who’s been following along the last 8 years or hopped on the train more recently. Even though the themes of my creative projects and blog posts have changed over the years, I don’t see myself stopping the creative urge anytime soon!

📍Tips for visiting Ellis Island and the Statue of 📍Tips for visiting Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty
🗽 If visiting from NJ, you'll hit Ellis Island first then the Statue of Liberty. 
🗽 Book your tickets for the pedestal or crown weeks to months in advance! At the time of our booking they were $17 for kids and $26 for adults.
🗽 You'll go through 2 rounds of airport style security to get on the ferry and to get to the Statue of Liberty so note restricted items.
🗽 You must store all items (besides basic things like phone, wallet or water bottle) in a locker in order to climb the statue. They require an actual quarter but there's also a change machine nearby so make sure you have at least $1. 
🗽 The stairs to the pedestal or the crown are tiring! Even though it was early November it was actual hot climbing to the top and they had fans there to circulate the air.
🗽 We had lunch at the Liberty Island but watch out for all the birds outside. 
🗽 The complementary audio tours at both islands are worth it and the kids especially loved it!
🗽 Get the junior ranger packets for the kids as it gives them a focus plus a souvenir pin at the end!
