We shot our Christmas card photos today. We originally had a professional session scheduled but due to the weather and fear it was going to be freezing and raining, our photographer decided it wasn't the best time to shoot outdoors and we agreed (we had a little park where we were going to shoot them). It didn't end up raining, but we still wanted ...
Tartan for the Holidays
A quick outfit post--- we were running errands all day in Houston's cold cold weather (well, for us cold) so I finally got to wear some boots and my new flanel shirt! Sadly, this J.Crew Rock Salt Plaid boyshirt is sold out (I knew it would sell out and snagged one online) but there are plenty of great tartan and plaid shirts avaialble in stores ...
Harper’s First Thanksgiving, in Pictures
Harper's first Thanksgiving was really fun! We took her up to my in-law's house and spent time in the backyard enjoying the sunny but cool weather. It was perfect! We decided to take advantage of the beautiful day and take some family photos... I am in love with these shots of Kevin and Harper. He is just so proud of her and loves her ...

Harper Reese: Six Months Old!
Six months. Half a year. How is my sweet baby girl six months old when it feels like only yesterday I was first cradling her in my arms? It is surreal to me how much more quickly time passes as soon as you have a baby. It's like someone presses the fast forward button and you just want to hit pause. Before I get to the update, I want to apologize ...

“Hanging Out” with Sonia Kashuk
A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity via BlogHer, along with several other bloggers, to participate in a Google Hangout with famed makeup artist Sonia Kashuk whose new bath and body product line I reviewed recently.

Our Weekend..
On Friday, our daycare held a little pow-wow for the families in each class to hang out and get to know each other and spend more time with the teachers too. It was a potluck so I picked up some fresh-baked cookies from Tiff's Treats. If you've never had them and you're in Houston, Austin or Dallas, I encourage you to order some, post haste! You ...

Our Weekend…
What a great weekend we enjoyed these past two days! Harper's daycare had a fall festival and it was so fun to see all of the other kids and babies enjoying the activities. There was a petting zoo, pony rides, jumpy castle, parks, live music and lots and lots (and lots) of food. The theme was "around the world" and families brought desserts ...
