Boho Baby

I have been buying different things for my daughter to wear in an upcoming photo shoot. This is the theme that I am going with, Boho Baby. I have been making a lot of summery hair accessories with butterflies lately, so I was thrilled to find this sunsuit with butterlies in the fabric. And how cute are these leather fringe boots...

Sunsuit found at Sunda Rose
Headband found at Giddy Up & Grow
Boots found at Nori Boutique Designs

Kids & Felt Markers...

Both of my kids are creative and love craft time... But I must say their favorite thing to color with are jumbo felt markers. Of course I only buy the non-toxic washable markers from crayola for this very reason... See pics below!!

My little miss has a bright purple mustache...

My little mister has a bright blue mustache!!
Not to mention the bright purple patch that was drawn on my carpet.. Good thing we invested in a carpet cleaner!!

Shaping up for summer!!

Ok ladies, we do it every year right!! Decide we will loose a few pounds before swimsuit season begins... I do it myself every year and swear I will just eat salad until I look like a supermodel! However, it never lasts as I just "LOVE" food too much, oh and a great glass of red wine! So in order to try and eat salad as much as I can, I go on the hunt for some great salad dressings. My mom, is an amazing chef, and she told me of this homemade dressing that is to die for!! Its super simple and tastes great. I think it especially tastes great with fruit in the salad! Here is the recipe:

DRESSING
1 tbsp of maple syrup
2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 clove of garlic crushed (just crush enough to get the juices flowing)
pepper to taste
1/2 cup olive oil

SALAD
Spring greens or salad mix of your choice
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
3/4 cup of caramelized pecans
1 cup of fresh strawberries or orange slices

Enjoy!!!!

Family Adventures!!

Very often our little family jumps in the car and goes on an adventure. We don't have to go that far, but wherever we go its usually always fun for everyone...Sometimes its the zoo, sometimes the park, picnic, hike in the woods etc. Yesterday we went to the mall, grabbed Vietnamese subs and went to the park.


I love the look on my sons face!!

She is so sweet!

My son is such a ham!

The hubs and I... Happy!!
