Life Is Breathtakingly Beautiful

Just a reminder that you DON'T need an expensive photo session to get some priceless shots!  I ALWAYS have my camera on me!  This is my little trouble maker, the wild child, the adventurous one, the one that cracks me up every minute but frustrates me so much at the same time! 

 I LOVE you so much Ella Blake...you wild little thing!

Enjoy!

May You Stay Forever Young

Watching my babies grow makes me happy, sad & a little emotional.  I can't believe on Halloween i'll have a 3 year old and a few months later a 2 year old!  Time sure does fly...remember to take time to capture all their precious moments (good or bad) because it's amazing how much you forget as time goes by! Always keep in mind, your best camera is the one you have on you!  Enjoy!

52 Memories

On August 8th my little family of four made our way from Arizona to Washington...but before we headed out we had a family dinner at Paradise Bakery...ummm...if you haven't been there...GO...go VERY fast and do yourself a favor and get a cookie!  Dinner was great, but the company was even better.  As we made our departure my baby sister, who is the best ever, gave me a going away gift.  For sake of balling my eyes out, right in the parking lot, I chose to wait on opening it.  At least til I was IN my car and alone!  The good-byes were hard but I managed to hold off until we got to Washington to open my gift and was yet again, alone.  Why you ask?  Well, because I knew I would need a tissue or two...or three...oh hell...the WHOLE box!  I knew that my baby sister would NOT disappoint and I just knew it would be homemade!  We LOVE homemade gifts...they are simply the BEST!  

This gift brought instant tears to my eyes and even more as I read the little note and opened the gift.  It's 100% likely that I'll need a box of tissues every time I open the jar!  This girl...well I can't say enough about her.  She's purely amazing...that is all...amazing!  

So without further a do....the gift!  

**if you are interested in purchasing one of these jars made my Miss Tanya Johnson, it will be available on my Etsy shop, if an when I ever finish my shop policies! (or just copy it...haha)**

Enjoy!

Banana Muffins

Who doesn't love their Momma's cooking?  Even more who doesn't love their Momma's recipes?  Today, I busted out the mixer and whipped up some Banana muffins; of course I had a little helper!  The BEST banana bread EVER and i'm not just saying that!

Pick Your Plum...the BEST!

Just showing some love to one of my favorite websites today!  Pick Your Plum and I have been friends for 2 years & 15 weeks to be exact!  They have provided me with some very cute stuff!  My husband hates seeing Pick Your Plum show up on the bank account ledger...he knows i'm up to no good!  No good?  Well...maybe no good for him but definitely something cute!  So head on over to Pick Your Plum and get signed up!  You WON'T be disappointed (good for Christmas or gifts in general)!  

There's a new deal every morning that's posted at 7am...you WILL find yourself getting up just to see what today's plum is...trust me!  Go...go...go...don't miss out!  Enjoy.

Fierce Printable

Today and everyday i'm working on printables...but today was some for Ella's bedroom.  I love that this girl is SUPER girly but LOVES bugs, dirt and anything that can and will get her in trouble.  Currently, her bedroom is a little darker than sky blue and not really girly.  I think I've chose a gray but which is still the question.  While it's a darker state I want it to be cheery, but still cozy.  So i'm thinking possibly the lightest gray I can find.  Anyhow...today I whipped this up for her room.  I'll do yellow accents!  I absolutely LOVE it and fits her to a T!  Feel free to use, if you want.  I would recommend printing on cardstock or even a heavyweight photo paper!  It's formatted for 11x14 print.  If you would rather it be emailed, just let me know!  Enjoy!
