Life while I've been gone

I left my heart ♥ in the mountains

I just got my Holga pictures developed from my trip to Big Bear back in January. It was my first and only time ever being in the snow, but I have to admit-- I kind of miss it. Being snowed-in in a warm, cozy cabin and watching the snow fall outside and waking up to gorgeous views of bright blue skies against a winter wonderland. Another trip is a must! But for now I need to think spring! think spring! think spring!....

Holga Pictures

I got some film developed from the ol' Holga. Quite springy and nice, methinks.

Happy Saturday

As you may or may not have noticed (we'll just pretend that you have), I haven't been on the up and up with the blog. Many apologies. My sister and brother-in-law moved back to California from Texas last week and have been staying with us during their transition into their new house. So I've tagged along with them quite a bit.




Food has been involved quite a bit. There really is no better place than Panera Bread. And their broccoli cheddar bread bowls... so good.





Did I mention the pastries?



And the ice cream! We decided to get ice cream and THIS is what they gave us. Can you fit anymore ice cream onto a cone? It was honestly the biggest swirl of ice cream I'd ever seen.



I tried paying them back for said ice cream, but they were being stubborn and not taking my money. I figured that maybe if I folded my dollar into a duck they might reconsider, but to no avail. But be warned, the dollar duck will show up when you least expect it.



Also last week was both my Dad's and nephew's birthday! This is the birthday bag I got my dad.



And these are the mini-chocolate bunt cakes my mom and sister made for my nephew's party. so so good.



Jon and Jarred being twins.



My dad in the jolly jumper. seriously.





Jennifer and I decided to pose for a little photo op with some party props. Can we pull off being Nascar drivers? No? okay.

So now you're caught up to speed with what has caused my hiatus for the past week. Now that's out of the way... back to our regularly scheduled blog posts!

It's good to be back!

Fresh New Start

Bunny!










and now, where I currently am.


Today was my first day off of the New Year, and I thought what better day than today to completely clean my room and start becoming a little more organized? So all day I've been cleaning... stopping to take pictures along the way. I am very easily side-tracked, as you can see. But now I'm pooped, and all I want to do is take a shower and crawl into bed and watch a movie. Outfit posts will be back this week, promise! Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year!
