My baby...

It doesn't happen very often that I get a chance to get in the pictures with my kids as I am always the one taking them. Today my good friend Cathy and I went out and took some photos of Rocco and my friends daughter Stella. I had fun, but the kiddos were tired and didn't like all of the stickery weeds (I don't blame them). Cathy got this one of Rocco and I. I was looking up at a bird and I think Rocco was getting ready to blow a kiss....I love it!!! Thanks Cathy!

Family

This is one of my best friends and her beautiful family. I photographed them on Sunday in the sweltering heat. We were all sweating while stumbling over rocks and walking over snake holes and she was in high heels. It was a blast and we had some great laughs...

End of the Summer Salad

Doesn't this salad look scrumptious...it was! I ate every last bit of it topped with my favorite Trader Joes Goddess dressing, because you know I am a goddess or at least pretend that I am. I know I always catch myself saying I need to eat healthier, but then I don't feel like making anything healthy. Well, today, this salad took 5 minutes to make...so, no more excuses!!

Ingredients
Lettuce
Cucumber (from my garden)
Cherry Tomatoes (from my garden)
Avacado
Corn (leftover from dinner the other night)
Blue Cheese Crumbles
Walnuts
3 tablespoons cup of Goddess Dressing
Enjoy!!!

Dolled Up

I did a photo shoot on Tuesday for my friends new website. She does makeup, hair, nails, spray tans and teeth whitening. You can get all Dolled Up in one place. She is fabulous. I had so much fun! Here is a sneak peek of one of the beautiful models....I'll share more later! Peace

Love & Marriage

My cousin Tanner married his beautiful bride on Friday night. It was a fabulous evening had by all...

What I wore...

So, here is my first "What I wore..." You can love it, you can hate it, but I love feedback...
So for my first "what I wore" I need to tell you that I bought these ankle boots about two months ago after seeing them on the cute girl that worked in the Brass Plum section of Nordstrom. I asked her where she got them and she said, "right downstairs in the shoe department." I made a bee-line downstairs to snag these adorable boots....
So I loved them when I bought them, and I still love them, but I just wasn't sure how to wear them. I seriously sat on the internet one night for about an hour googling "how to wear ankle boots"....I know, you're laughing right now, but I am totally serious! The boots intimidated me and I'm sure in the hell not famous, but I had this image in my head of showing up on a magazine as the worst dressed (like what was she thinking when she got dressed today), I could see young girls staring at me and shaking their heads...
And of course my husband looks at me like what are you wearing, because he isn't always up to date on fashion (but that's okay, I still love him to death).
Well, last night (after talking to my kids babysitter last week who is 17 and is in high school) making sure that I wasn't going to make a fashion faux pas, I "rocked" the boots (no not knocked the boots...your dirty little minds). I just held my head high and I wore my little ankle boots. Of course I went out to dinner with two of my long time friends and not one of them said anything the whole night (so in my mind I'm thinking, oh my gosh, they must wonder what I'm wearing)....until right before we are about to leave my friends house at the end of the night, her husband (who is very fashionable himself) says, "I love your boots, the whole outfit looks great." My friends agreed and said "yeah, I would have never thought to wear them with a dress, it is so cute though." I felt redeemed, like oh, I did it, I really am still somewhat hip after two kids. So you can love it or hate it, but I'm just glad I finally had the guts to rock my boots!!! And....I totally owe my babysitter for being my personal fashionista right now...You rock Lizzie!

On the wishlist...

Now that fall is slowly creeping up, I always begin thinking about my Christmas list. Since I was a young girl, I have always made a Christmas list. It used to be from the pages of the JCPenney catalog, but now all my wishes and wants I find while perusing my favorite websites and blogs. This year, I am jonesing for one of these chairs in pink from here.
(hint hint Mom and Ryan)
What are some of your wishes this Christmas...and please don't say World Peace.....
