Ryan took the boys golfing tonight which gave Tessa and I some “girls only” time. We went for a walk, played at the park, she rode her Dora bike, played soccer…she loves getting the chance to be “the leader” with no one else making up the rules.

breakfast in bed


Look what my 6 year old Caleb brought me this morning :)

silly spiders!

Kids are asleep, Ryan’s out of town and I am attempting to get some late night work done with a pot of coffee at my side. House is quiet except for my quiet “Enya” music in the corner. Suddenly- blood curdling SCREAMS from Tessa’s room. I bolt in there and after calming her a bit I can understand what she’s saying- “spider is in my room!” She points to her wall and shows me this:

He’s tiny, like the size of a dime. I had to chuckle.

I gave her my silver bangle bracelets I was wearing to play with to distract her while I went to get the camera, I couldn’t miss the opportunity here to photograph him. He has been removed from the premises and she’s a happy girl again, hopefully on her way to dreamland.

wiggly but not giggly

Tessa modeled for me today. *snicker* It was quite an experience. She refused to smile for a long time. Made me so glad I don’t have to do that very often for photographing jewelry. It pretty much just sits there where I put it and stays, and no attitude, and no candy bribing.

I’m collaborating with Jona from and let me tell you, her 3 outfits are amazing. I think I’m just gonna keep one cuz I love it so much, sorry Jona (JK!) The launch is tomorrow, here are a few sneek peeks:


I know, I’m a tease.

I made some matching jewels and my friend Lindsay from made matching bows and clippies.
