6 of 1, 1/2 dozen of another

So I wanted to venture away from designing right?  Now I haven't designed in a few months and I miss it lol!  My brain really does work in mysterious ways.  I was so super swamped in May that I decided to space out my photography sessions a bit more, so that I could attempt doing both.  This is such a trial and error thing and I have to find what works best for me and my sanity.  Never did I dream I would be as busy as I was last month and while completely thankful and blessed I'm on a mission to find a good schedule that allows me to do it all!  I'm dreaming right lol?  Designing, photography, family, fun... yeah right.  I am dreaming if we continue to only have 24 hours in the day!  The good news is that I'm all up to date on editing now and have the next 2 days to design :)  Im a happy girl!

Even though I have a ton of pictures I wanted to share, I'm going to try and squeeze in some good ole family fun and some stuff I have been loving lately.  I can't believe I still have pictures and stories from back in MARCH lol!  What a blog loser I am!

Look at this cute little bag Joe bought me for my camera!  It was one of my birthday gifts.  Can't remember what else I got because I *heart* this cute bag so much...

I had seen this in a Scrapbooking magazine a couple of months ago and fell in love then, but didn't do research on where to snag one.  Then when I was at Best Buy buying this...

for the wedding I shot last month, beat still my heart... there was my bag, just hanging there, begging me to buy it!  You can also find info here at the ACME site and they have some other super cute stuff, but Best Buy only had this one.  Oh and my new flash card... LOVE it.  Holds so much, especially since I converted to shooting RAW, but I guess anything is a step up from a 2GB card huh?

I also bought a little dolly for child sessions and desperately wanted to test drive her, so I dragged the kids across the street into my favorite open field and snapped some of Makena... this one was my favorite of her...

 

another one I loved of her...

 

and my favorite of the day...

 

awe... my kids look so sweet.  Unfortunately, I don't think they have looked this way together since!  Little stinkers!

Before I forget, not that anyone cares or anything, but I have been wanting to share a couple of products I have fallen in love with recently!  Ok, so Im so not into dieting or even depriving my body of any food whenever it wants it, probably the reason I have some chub taking over my mid section and hips, BUT one day at the market I decided to try a couple of Weight Watchers "Smart Ones".  Now again, didn't pick them up for the diet aspect, but because I rarely eat lunch, I thought these would work brilliant because I can throw them in the microwave and eat super quick.  I have only tried a couple, but they are my fav's and I could eat them everyday, numerous times a day :)

 

 

Oh they are yummy!  Anyone else tried any frozen meals they really enjoy?  I could eat these all of the time, but am thinking I may get sick of them after a few months lol!

Another thing I have been obsessing about lately are my teeth.  After I had to have the scaling done last year, I have been on a mission to try and correct all the things wrong with my teeth.  I have no idea why, but the dentist said that I "harbor more bacteria" in mouth and are prone to more cavities because of it.  Bleh... gross huh?  Way more info. about me than you wanted I bet.  And for those that don't know about scaling by the way, its AWFUL!  They take a metal tool with a really sharp bended point and basically scrape all the shit off your teeth.  It's painful and I seriously panic every time I have a dentist appointment, like today for example!  Anyways, so to help fight off the mean dentist person, I started buying these:

  

These are so cool!  No water needed, just open and start brushing :)  They have this flavor stuff in the center that's supposed to be toothpaste, so you get some breath stuff on top of the brushing.  Ingenious I tell you...  even got Joe and Blake to start asking for them!  Haven't tried the other flavors though, will next Target run!

Off to pick up Makena at school... YES, school!  Twice a week and we both are LOVING it!  Whole other story and pics I will be sure to forget about posting!  Still have to post the following:

• 2 family beach sessions
• 2 maternity sessions
• 1 newborn session
• 2 engagement sessions
• 1 senior session
• 1 wedding
• and a TON of other personal family stuff like a fun afternoon of jumping on the trampoline & making homemade donuts... YUM!  Seriously, one of the most fun things we have done together lately lol!

I will be back :)

XOXO

Long time since I took a inspirationsurf around the net. I really need to gather lots of fun ideas.
