A day in the life....

Whew, I needed a breather, so I decided to write.  This has been a long, and very noisy week.  My kids have gotten to a stage where I'm pretty certain they are competing for loudest kid award.  Tonight, they are in bed, and I am soaking up the silence.

This week has brought us some fall like weather, which I don't mind all that much!  We took some long bike rides, and played a few rounds of basket ball. Grace has really taken to cooking and baking.  I find her searching out kids cooking shows.  She also likes to experiment, chop items up and mix them together.  Today she made a chocolate chip cookie cake.

The Pinterest recipe we decided to try today was home made bread.  You can find the recipe here:The Curvy Carrot.  It is an awesome recipe.  It was easy to follow, and the bread tasted great.  The only problem we had, is that the one loaf, probably could have made two.

My product review this week is a new favorite of mine.  This canvas bag, by Tom Clovers, is an essential mommy bag.  It is fashionable, big, and has loads of pockets.  It also zips closed. It is a high quality, beautifully designed bag.  I found that I am able to carry baby stuff on one side, and mommy stuff on the other.   I definitely love this bag. You can find it on amazon Here  

Some new and exciting things coming up for the blog!  I am going to be making a Facebook page to make communication easier.  I would love to know what kind of products everyone is interested in, what kind of recipes and crafts people want to see.  I also will be featuring some of my crochet items that will be for sale.  So stay tuned for giveaways and lots of fun!  Thank you for your support as I step out of my comfort zone and explore the world of blogging!

A picture perfect moment

Summer is nearing it's end, I know, I'm in denial too.  But one of the best parts of Fall is the picture taking!  I mean, you can capture the best pictures outside in the Fall.  If you find yourself wanting family photos, wedding photos, baby photos or just portraits, let me share an amazing Photographer with you.  His name is Tom with CDT Photo.  He was born with this talent.  He captures not only the photo, but the feeling, and love behind the picture.  He gets to know you so he can capture you in your element.  We always do our pictures outdoors because, we are an outdoor kind of family.  He has done all our photos.  He is not only amazing at capturing moments, he is so good with kids. He got our oldest, very shy girl, to smile.  He even got her to smile after falling.  He is genius.  Here are some examples of  his photos:  Here  He is truly one of the best.  Please reach out and like his Facebook page Here and help him grow.  If you are in the market for a photographer in Mn, please contact him.  He is filling up fast, but he still has some sessions left for fall and winter.  He is very reasonable and his quality of photos are beyond your expectations.  You can contact him through his Facebook page for pricing.  Here are a few of my favorite examples:

 
 

Fun Adventures

I love venturing out of my comfort zone. I want to allow this blog to make people happy, inspire people to be there best. So along with product reviews, I am going to start a pinterest adventure. My little lady loves to cook and I want to capture her passion. She wanted to do a "Chopped" series, but I don't know if she is quite ready for that!? (She is 4 years old) So we will attempt different pinterest recipes and ideas and share along the way! Feel free to comment with recipes you want Grace and I to try! Join us on our new adventure!!
Until next time....
