spring has sprung

I love spring.
I love pink dogwoods.
I love watching all the flowers bloom. It's magical.

happy april!

Get this fun paper craft calendar from curiosity group to kick off the month of April.

April is an awesome month. Lots of birthdays! our wedding anniversary! and my sweet baby turns 1 this month!

I hope you all have a great weekend! Monday is our 2nd wedding anniversary, so I'm taking the day off from work. We might go to the zoo. or maybe we'll go for a movie (since we have pre-paid tickets from AAA that we need to use). or maybe both.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend full of sunshine.

I made some pears this week for G.

fernbank forest shoot

This past weekend we went to The Fernbank Forest to take some photographs. I recently joined a photography group so I can learn more about photography and my camera.

Here are two of my favorite shots.

robot cupcakes

I just ordered these cuties for G's party. Aren't they awesome!?!

They're currently on sale for $14.99 (from $22). So hurry and grab some for yourself!

Can't get enough of this picture by Johnny Miller.

402 posts

When I went to go write my weekenders post, there happened to be exactly 402 posts written for both of my blogs at the exact same time.

How cool. I love when these things happen.

happy weekend!

A little present for the weekend - bookmarks made by Sharon Rowan.

Hope you all have a great weekend. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we're going to the Fernbank Forest Shoot so I can try and improve my photography skills. Taking photos is fun, but I still have no clue how to process/edit photos. AT. ALL. Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Happy weekend!

things you learn after having a baby

1. While pregnant your hair looks awesome!
2. About 3 months later your hair starts falling out. Seriously, I was shedding like a mad woman.
3. Now, about 11 months later, the hair that has started growing back has given me these crazy bangs (you know, the wispy ones that were cool in like 6th grade).

ringing in 33

We ended up celebrating Hub's birthday with Hardee's and a sick baby. Nice, eh? The mountain dews came in handy as we were up almost the entire night.

As much as the weekend didn't go as planned, it will definitely be one to remember.

Happy Monday!

happy birthday

Hubby turns 33 today! He's not that excited, but it's a birthday!!! and I'm trying to make birthday's more special. In the past we have kind of, eh, treated it like a normal day. But my new goal is to try and make these days a little extra special. After all we're celebrating another year!

So today I took a half day off from work, went and bought hubby a balloon, mountain dews, and some dark chocolate reese's cups. Nothing says a birthday like that! Ha!

[Really, it's special. Hubby gave up the Mountain Dews. He was a true addict. So today is special enough that I bought him a 12 pack.]

and tonight, I think we're going to dinner.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

ginger veggie stir-fry

My personal chef (aka. husband) cooked up this veggie stir-fry on Sunday and it was delicious! This is a must keep recipe. It's falls into the category of recipes that I love - quick and easy. Healthy is an added bonus.

P.S. I'm totally loving my new camera!
