Here is a small sample of what Monica and I got to shoot together. Thank you to Chelby and Carlotta for being great models.

coming soon!

Katie and I are absolutely thrilled to start our new event design business. We have a styled shoot planned for the end of this month with lots of local vendors involved. Here is a little preview for you to see what we have planned. Hope you like it!

hello september

I'm not sure why it being September excites me. Maybe because I'm ready for fall to come or because I'm a bit closer to my birthday month. Anyways, I'm filled with a lot of joy these days. There is so much that contributes to that joy but I'll talk about the obvious reason. I'm in the midst of starting an event design business with a friend. Serving people by designing things and maybe making a little money in the process. For those who know me know that I design everything whether it's a dinner party or my kitchen shelves. I just love putting things together to create something that was once not. So I've had dishes, and glasses, and candles, and greenery all over our living room floor these days. Luckily, Jake can deal with this.

building tables

Well, our kitchen is finally coming together and looking like a kitchen. This is GOOD. I've almost freaked out a couple times from having no space to bake or cook or put dishes. We finally have a table built and just need one more for my baking area.
Feeling productive.

berry picking at Thunderbird

 

Today started off with some berry picking with Bryan and Jake with intentions to make a pie. Instead we made some blueberry cornbread which was just as delicious but a little less fattening. If you've never been to Thunderbird Berry Farm, you need to go. Their prices are very reasonable at $3 a pound and on some days they do a "pick three pounds and you keep the third free" deal. I will most definitely be returning :)

summer blues

It's been seriously hot lately and I've been dreaming of the beach. My flowers are a bit sad and I've been baking like crazy. I've gained a good amount of weight that I am itching to get rid of.
On a positive note...Jake and I are planning a trip for my birthday and I can't wait to road trip.
Happy Saturday.

banana pancakes

A delicious and healthy dinner tonight:

For pancakes mix 6 eggs and 3 bananas together in a blender. Cook the same as pancakes! 

The almond syrup is 3/4 cup almond butter, 3/4 cup almond milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. These might be my new favorite !
