Family Picture Editing


It's been ages since I posted, but I wanted to share my family photos for 2012. I really LOVE how they turned out, and my dear friend Brandee did an amazing job as our photographer. I don't have photoshop, but I wanted to share a little secret of mine. I did all the photo editing MYSELF!! There's an amazing photo editing website I use. Right now, many of the premium features are FREE. So get your Holiday pictures taken, and upload them to Picmonkey, and see how GORGEOUS you can be.

50 FREE Christmas Cards from Shutterfly

If you are doing lots of holiday shopping this weekend like me, here is a great deal to check out.

One of my favorite websites, Shutterfly, is having a fun promo for bloggers!! Hurry over and take advantage of their 50 free Christmas cards, they have TONS of cute cards to choose from, here are a few of my favorites.....

I LOVE these invitations, what a fun Christmas tradition it would be to have a cookie swap with friends and send out this invitation.

How cute is this card?? I am in love with the green paisley print, SO ADORABLE!

These two are super cute, especially if you can't decide on just one print like me.

If you are looking for great gift ideas they have canvas prints, that happen to be on sale right now (hurry over to get the sale price!) They also make calendars, a couple years ago I had a bunch of calendars made for my parents and in-laws, they have a super cute desk calendar that is new, I am thinking it would look great in an office.

In addition to all these fun gifts; Shutterfly also does baby announcements, baby books, and has a ton of other great products are services. Be sure to stop by and see all of the great deals going on this holiday season! Happy Holidays!

Around the Town Tuesday featuring...Logan City

I had the opportunity to "go away" to Logan City with my best friend. It was a wonderful weekend, and I relished every moment I got to spend with him!

We enjoyed the beautiful architecture...




The Fall Foliage was awe-inspiring...




We did some major eating at The Blue Bird Restaurant...






We window shopped...


and stopped into this cute little store...


Look at all this fun decor...





It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...




We even found our future home...


I can't wait to hang out with him again...

Weekend Website

As you are perusing the internet this weekend make sure to check out Mila’s Daydreams. This is a blog that a mother from Finland started to showcase the photos she was taking of her sweet newborn daughter. She calls it her maternity leave hobby, I am quite impressed, because when my son was this new all I could think about was sleep! She has entertained the idea of making these photos into a children’s book, I hope she does, I will definitely pick up a copy.
