Celebrating the Small Things


Ahhh, it's Friday! I can't believe it's here already! Woot!  VikLit always puts on a great Friday celebration! 
This week... 

  • I took some great pictures of the kids. I will buy the smallest package of school pictures so I have something but I will not pay the mega outragious prices for a large pkg when I can shot my own, create better pictures, and buy cheaper packages online. And most of the time I don't even like the ones the school takes. My kids hate them, their smiles are faked, their hair is out of control... it's stress free my way. Unless my teenage daughter is having a meltdown... then it's a pain in my bum! You can check my session with the kids here.
  • I lost a few lbs last week and I can tell I've lost more inches... well, when I'm not bloated. Gawd, being a woman has its high points but it also has its lows. Like what's up with bloating?! I sit here thinking... What in the heck did I eat?! My face looks 5x fatter than this morning! Lawrd I need a better bra! It never ends! I am a very confident person but sometimes it would be nice to look in a mirror at noon and still look as good as I did when I left the house at 6:30am. I swear my mirror at home came from a carnival - it lies. UGH!
  • Now that September is here, I'm getting SUPER EXCITED about Autumn!! October is my favorite month, during my favorite time of year, and hosts my favorite holiday! I have a ton of new Halloween decorating ideas I can't wait to start. Plus my little one has her birthday in Oct. and it takes every ounce of willpower not to decorate her birthday party with a Halloween theme.
  • Next week keep a look out for the annual SPOOKTOBERFEST blogfest!!

  1. I love looking at photos of my kids taken over the years. They are great reminders as they grow up so darn quick!

  3. Bloating... I HATE it :(

    Anyway, you are right. No need to spend unnecessary money on poor looking school pics when you can shoot your own, and make them awesome. Oooh, Spooktoberfest! Can't wait to read more about it :D

  4. I'm super excited about autumn, too. I just love the cooler temperatures.

    I always hated my school pictures. They were always just so...bad.

  6. Big props on the weight loss. I feel like I am perpetually bloated. I think it's all the coffee I ingest...or maybe it's all the carbs. But I don't plan on cutting back on either any time soon, so I guess I'll just have to get used to the bloat. LOL
