Favorite Friday

Today I'm going to share with you a few of my faaaavorite things!

Tazo Chai Lattes. I basically cannot go a morning without it. It's one of the things I look forward to most every morning.

Kyle got me this * Juicy Couture * Bracelet a while back. I had pointed it out to him one day and loved how much it resembled the vintage Sweetheart Bracelets. I kinda look at this one as a modern version.

My * Tweezerman * Cuticle clipper is my ultimate favorite beauty tool. Tweezerman has great products (I also have the tweezers and they are great!) and they stay sharp and last. You may pay a little more up front, BUT you also wont have to buy another one unless you lose it.

Once I discovered these little chocolate babies, I was hooked! I eat them straight from the box. I practically lived on the stuff until I moved back into my parents' house. As you can see, my son attempted to break into them, but he hasnt figured out how to get the bag open yet.

Now these Matryoshkas are one of my favorite purchases ever! All four of these are from * Modcloth *...which everyone knows how much I love that site!!

First we have the "Momma". She opens up into three separate dolls....who are all measuring cups! each half of each doll is a measuring cup going from 1 cup down to 1/4 cup.
This second one is a salt shaker that holds the pepper shaker =)
Last is a timer!
I so love this Matryoshka necklace. The kids call it my baby necklace.


I did wait pretty impatiently for these to ship to me! Super cute teal suede Smoking/Smoker Flats (I've heard the style called both.) from * Target *.

When my Aunt gave me this infinity scarf two Christmases ago, I was actually a little baffled by it. I'd never seen or heard of them. It definitely grew on me though!
These are a sketchbook and a notebook I got from * Barnes and Noble *. I got the sketchbook a year ago and loved the print on the cover. When a few months ago I saw it in a notebook version...I had to have it, and have even bought a second one! I totally want to take the full picture and have it blown up into a canvas print to put up in the house.

These presh little polka dot jars were from my parents this past Christmas. I'm so glad to have a place to put some of my crafting notions....that's cute as well as useful. =)

And lastly, the fabric I used for the background...I am soo in loove with it! I will very soon be making it into a handbag of some sort =D

It doesnt have to be a huge or expensive item to be a well loved, favorite of yours. Those little things in life are what make it all worth it and can mean the most. It can change your entire outlook on your life if you evaluate your blessings. When I'm upset for example, all I need is a Chai to cheer me up. I dunno whats in it, but it calms me enough to sit back and evaluate...things really arent always as bad as I think. =)

Giving away Memories

To me, a great photo session is more than just a couple of posed pictures.

A great photographer can capture little pieces of your heart and soul (yes, as cliche as that may sound).

About a year and a half ago I had the privilege of having a shoot with Audrey Coley. She had my attention after doing a friends wedding photos. My children and I were right in the middle of the upheaval of our family, so you wouldnt think it would be the most opportune time for family pictures. But Audrey was so kind and even supportive and that session was exactly what I, myself, needed. She chased T around a farm and got me pictures that were realistic to his personality; not "stand here, pose like that".

Right now Audrey has a give away going on that she has extended until February 12th...that's tomorrow!! Check out her link to see the give away details:


And here are some photos from our session!!
(There are some doubles-color then b&w, but I just love them.)























Ahh, my little loves =D

Loves!

Boys, Boys, Boys...how interesting they are

Yesterday we checked out what my * girls *  have been up to. As promised, today we see the boys. They were far more wild this week!

T man =)

T had a great time "fighting" Uncle Spencer



I love the motion captured in some of these
Karate Kick!

This reminds me of Dash from The Incredibles!

Spencer lost.... =/ This is why boys should know not to play rough!


Turner was just "on" that day haha


Such a true boy right here

He is just such a goober. "Mommy, take picture!"

It was so fun to watch my brother play with Turner like that and get sooo many pictures out of it. Those boys sure can drive me crazy though!!

Loves!
