All Of The New Things!

Our blog is about to enter its terrible two's and it is sure growing up. We got a new look thanks to our friend Nora Housler and got some new photos taken by Rachel Norris--who is working with our very own Sarah taking photographs for the newly engaged and newly wed! Check that fun out here!

Now onto the main event.

******Spoiler alert****** 

We are very poised and professional models and take the art VERY seriously. You will be able to tell that immediately. 

We look like grown ups. 

Tough grown ups.

I'm an ass.

Sadie is way more into the berries than modeling and still did the best out of all of us!

We had a lot of fun taking these photos last week and it was a nice excuse to all get together. Not to mention that Danielle loathes berries so that was fun to watch her eat them, and her daughter Sadie got to hang out with us too and we became fast friends over applesauce so I'd stamp the adventure one big freaking success! We won't discuss the torrential down pour that caught us after dinner...let's keep this positive and light. 

Thanks for sticking around with us for this long, and here is hoping to many more years!

DIY Idea Jar.

My sisters, Shiloh & Hannah, came to see me a couple weeks ago and we had a little craft night where we put together some "idea jars". Our dear friend, Rachel, also joined in on the excitement. While Shiloh & Hannah went with the standard idea or bored jar, Rachel and I made our's into "date jars". I always seem to have a plethora of mason jars laying around as well as plenty of fabric scraps & other little crafty items, so we were pretty much set.

Supplies needed:
Mason jar.
Glue.
Ribbons, bows, buttons, or anything else you want to use for decorating.
Papper scraps to jot down your ideas.

I don't know about any of you but I'm definitely guilty of wasting time, simply because I can't think of something to do. I think this is a great little motivator. So whenever I have an idea for a date or something else I really want to try, I just write it down and drop it in the jar. And, anytime I need a little push to do something I can just pick from those ideas. Plus, it looks pretty cute on my living room desk. 

Hope you find this helpful!
