This little lady was so fun to shoot! It was so nice to have a baby girl in the studio. I have all these darling hats that I have been dying to use! She is one precious little girl. It was nice getting to visit with you Shari! I loved hearing about your birthing story. I won’t get into details but dad delivered her…….(that was not the plan).

Enjoy your little bundle of joy!

“FUN FRIDAY”

6 MORE SLEEPS til we are on our way to Hawaii!!! I don’t know who’s more excited, me or the kiddos! This last week has been crazy trying to get things ready to go. When packing for 6 people that do not SHOULD NOT pack for themselves…….it can be a bit stressful. A good stress though…….I mean, we are headed to a tropical island!! We are also going with some really good friends of ours so it’s going to be a riot!! The poor passengers on our plane……sorry in advance!

Since my week has been filled with packing, I thought a good post would be all about packing! A dear friend of mine sent me a link to a very cool blog that has a post about how to pack for 10 days in a carry-on!! It is a very good read! I am such an over-packer. You just never know what might come up! I know…..silly to think that I may need to pack a jacket, sweats, jeans and boots when I am going somewhere HOT! I just want to be prepared! LOL! So…..I am going to try to pack like this super smart flight attendant and that way I will have more room in my suitcase for all of the tourist junk I’m going to bring home with me! Wish me luck!

Here is the article………

This is what she packs:

Three pairs of shorts
Three pairs of dress pants
One skirt
Three pairs of casual pants or jeans
Three nightgowns
Three bathing suits
One sarong
Three lightweight sweaters
Four dresses
10 casual shirts
Six dress shirts
A clutch
Toiletries
Two pairs of shoes

She’ll wear the third pair of shoes, as well as jeans and a longer sweater.

I will make some minor adjustments to this list since I don’t really need jeans, pants or sweaters. (Hopefully)

This is the way she manages to pack her suitcase carefully:

Roll up all of your clothing tightly and set it aside
Shoes should be packed around the sides
Softer clothing that is rolled up, goes on top
Harder clothing rolled up, is stacked on the bottom
Toiletries on top
Anything that is wrinkle-resistant can go around the edges

And she ends up with this:

Pretty wicked eh?!! I’m super impressed! I hope I can do this.

“FUN FRIDAY”

admin — Sat, 05 May 2012 03:22:38 +0000

Whoa! Almost forgot about my friday post! Lots going on this week between newborn shoots and baton! My girls have their provincial baton twirling championships this weekend. We have been practicing everyday this week. I am so proud of them and how hard they have been working. I know they are going to do the best they can!

So this week I decided to try a couple of different recipes. One was a maindish and one was a side dish. The first one was a crock pot recipe which I am a HUGE fan of since it requires less work for moi! Anything I can throw in the crock pot in the morning and let cook all day is a winner in my books. This recipe was soooo simple and very tasty! A favorite among my kids who eat like birds!! I made a few changes to it since I didn’t feel like going out to get the exact ingredients. I didn’t have red pepper flakes (which I’m sure my kids wouldn’t like anyway) so I used a teaspoon of dry mustard and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. The other difference was the barbecue sauce…….it called for “Sweet Baby Ray’s” which I had a little of but not enough so I added “Cattleboyz”. It was just as tasty!

“CROCKPOT BARBECUE CHICKEN” (Click on the name to see the recipe)

I’m not much of a food photographer but the chicken tastes better than it looks! I promise!

My side recipe is a cucumber salad………it wasn’t that great. I wasn’t a fan of this one. It looks pretty but the taste was not for me. I ended up throwing a pot of rice on too which was good with the sauce from the chicken. Here is a picture of the finished product!
