Miss Sutton had an absolute blast being the perfect model!! We celebrated by ending with confetti, which pulled those giggles out even more! It’s safe to say she loves cake and allllll the sprinkles! It was such a fun year of watching you grow, sweet girl!

The other day I took a leap. If you missed it, see my red lipstick post below! Why was that a leap? Well, it was a peek into what’s to come! And guys…it’s really scary to share new things! But fear NO LONGER hinders me. Most of you know, I have A LOT to say. The thing you might not know is I’m ready to say all the things to EVERYONE! The power of the mind has literally blown mine and I’m here to tell you all about it! Big things coming! Changed lives coming! Dreams coming true! Goals crushed! LFG!!!
As a result of my tiny leap in posting about my red lipstick the other day, I have made connections I just knew would come! One of them was with this beauty! She’s big into personal development, manifestation, and she’s an incredible communications coach and human! Because of that post, we got together as our highest selves today and left more empowered than we came! When I posted about my red lipstick, she commented that her “thing” is to put on her sunglasses and see the world thru them! What would your highest self do?
I was nervous to post that post. But guess what! I didn’t see the eye rolls or hear the snarky comments I feared it may have gotten! If those things happened, I’ll never know about it! I saw the positive feed back and got texts like these…
“Ok, saw your post and tired of thinking about it and not moving on it. Lemme know if you’re up for a coffee some time.”
The power of your mind is so incredible! I can’t wait to share with you what I’ve spent YEARS learning! ITS CHANGED MY LIFE…MY INCREDIBLE LIFE!

Oh hey there.
So, those that are closest to me know that I spend A LOT of time with "self help" type media, books, workshops, seminars, etc. Mostly I love to focus on ones about manifestation. There, you learned something new about me today.
Anyway, I've gained A LOT of knowledge on the subject and I have started to feel inclined to start to share what I have learned. I'll be sharing in big ways, but for now, I thought I'd start small and maybe post here and there about little bits of info I have learned that I find useful, powerful, worth sharing, or inspiring. So, here I go with some information or advice rather that I found rather useful.
Without getting into much detail (yet), part of manifesting the dream life you want is acting as if. Act as if you already have the things/life you want. What would the highest version of yourself do? Side note: this piece of advice is so vague and missing so much it almost physically pains me to share it in this capacity, but for the sake of this post...I'm doing it. Okay, back to my point. Because of this piece of advice of acting "as if", I often ask myself, what would Triple M do? Who the F is Triple M? Oh, hi, that's me! Multi-Millionaire Marggie. 🙂 Another side note: No, I do NOT base living my dream life solely on being a multimillionaire, however she is part of my highest self, so that is what I shall call her. Most days I am at a high frequency or vibration with the universe, that it's easy for me to remember to check in and ask, "What would Triple M do?" But some days, like all other humans, it's hard to find motivation or energy or even the will to shower. 🙂 A useful piece of advice one of my mentors recently taught me that I want to share is this. When you are lacking the motivation or energy to do what you know your highest self should be doing, do something your highest self would do if they need to feel powerful or productive. In her case, she walks around her house in her best set of high heels!! It empowers her, hence giving her the mindset she needs to be her highest self and do what she needs to do to maintain that vibration of her highest self (that's when you are manifesting all the things you desire in life). Me though? I can't walk around in heels and feel productive. I would actually be much less productive with two sprained ankles! 😉 What I have recently found puts me in that high vibrational mindset of my highest self and helps me kick ass at this beautiful life is lipstick. RED lipstick. It's so bold and I was nervous to try it. However, the Eras Tour, it was like a must...cuz, it's the Eras Tour, duh. I kinda fell in love. I put that on and I instantly feel like my highest self, AKA, Triple M 😉
Tomorrow, I'm working from home so that I can also work on laundry. Now, if you happen to see me in my bathrobe with bright red lips, mind your business...I'm just over here keeping myself in the right mindset! 😛
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!
What is something you think would help you get in your best mindset when you are lacking motivation?

Hi there!!
I'm back! Okay, I realize a lot of you didn't realize I was gone, buuuuuut, I was! I was recently blessed to take an amazing getaway cruise with some dear friends. Jared and I always take a trip this time of year (kid free) to celebrate our anniversary! This year is the big 14!! 🙂 14 years of amazing marriage to the most amazing human I've ever known. What an incredible blessing it is to be able to say/feel that. This year we were blessed to also have some friends come along, which made for even more of an adventure! We took a cruise in the Caribbean where we stopped in Cozumel and Honduras (my new favorite place) and then due to weather, we couldn't port in our regularly scheduled ports of Belize or Costa Maya, but were rerouted back to Cozumel for round 2! Aside from the not so great weather and not being able to enjoy all our ports we had an amazing time. I just wanted to share some of my favorite snap shots with you! On this cruise:
1. I belly laughed until my abs hurt and smiled so much my cheeks felt like they could no longer be held up.
2. I learned that Sloths are the most amazing creatures and are now my favorite animals.
3. Roatan, Honduras is a hidden gem and I cannot wait to go back again soon.
4. True friends are a true blessing. Surround yourself with those you can be unapologetically yourself with. The fun you will have in those moments is truly amazing.
5. Even after 16 years together, my husband is still my favorite human ever and we have so much fun doing this life together.
6. No matter where we are in the world or how much heartache the beloved Vikings cause us, we will always represent! SKOL!

Because of my amazing clients, I am able to travel and enjoy life to the fullest. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me and my small business! There are no words for my sincere gradate, but I hope you can feel it.

I’m glad my husband is not only very forgiving, but also very innovative! We got to my clients house, which was about 25 mins from ours. I forgot to tell him that the images were going above a staircase. Therefore, we didn’t bring the ladder. We were just about to go back to get the ladder when his wheels started turning. I knew he’d pull through! Thank goodness the dad had ladders and some plywood! 😂😂
For a guy who’s afraid of heights, he nailed this! No pun intended! 🥰
I love this display! The newborn images are of each of their boys!! They literally cloned the first! Copy➡️Paste 😍😍

I feel so incredibly blessed to be a part of such an AMAZING networking group!! We had our holiday party today! First, we stocked the shelves at the Lakeville South food pantry (open to the community). We enjoyed food/coffee and some super fun gift exchanging! Happy holidays from the Networking Ninjas!

I’m back!! I know my page has been a little quiet lately! I’ve had quite the month. First some pretty scary health concerns. Luckily, the super scary stuff has been ruled out, but I still have more testing to be done. I’m doing great. Second, I got to take my daughter on a dream trip! We recently went to Miami to attend the Eras Tour! It was EPIC and and unforgettable experience that we’ll be talking about for a lifetime. I just wanted to share a little glimpse of our experience with you all! 🙂

Mr. Shayan could not be a happier little guy!! What pure joy he brings with him wherever he goes! I love love love watching him grow! I also really love when families bring me their culture to capture too!! #twincitiesphotographer #milestonephotographystudio #lakevillephotographer #twincitiesnewbornphotographer #lakevillenewbornphotographer
