I'm not very good at sitting still. There are too many things to create/do/see/read/watch/listen to/bake... It usually takes a good cold to make me sit still for more then ten mintues. (Or a good movie.) So what is an ADD girl to do when she is smacked upside the head with a virus that floors her for almost a week? Here's a short list, since that's all I have the energy for...
1. blog about it {see above}
2. sleep {definitely needed to catch up on that elusive life necessity}
3. pray every day that I didn't contaminate my dad
4. knock down my very tall magazine pile a few inches {Yes, that top mag has Easter Eggs on it. Don't laugh!}
5. hope my clients are understanding regarding their images {I love you, clients}
6. watch the 'Diners, Drive-ins & Dives' marathon {not very smart when you are starving but can't hold down food}
7. play with new iPhone camera app, Super Retro {see attached photos}
8. sleep some more
9. catch up on some Netflix movies: Shallow Grave {highly recommend}, Man on a Ledge {fun}, Darling Companion {watch-able but glad I didn't pay theater price}
10. try to work remotely from laptop {hmmmm, didn't work very well but got a few emails answered}
What do you all do when you are down for the count?
Ok, back to vegging for now. Hopefully I'll be back into the swing of things more tomorrow. xo

Who doesn't love going out to the mailbox and finding something special inside? I think you'd all agree that bills are quite annoying, and enough with the bad-for-the-environment-junk-mail, already!!! Getting something in the mail {the old fashioned way} feels special because it's just so thoughtful. Whether it's a thank you note or a gift, it all means so much.
I was delighted to shift through a weeks worth of mail upon our return from Hawaii {photos coming soon} to uncover three delightful things with my name on them. The first two where a sweet Thank You card for Baby C's newborn photo session and an adorable handmade Save the Date card from my queen of DIY, bride to be, Crista.
The third item was a package, which to my delight contained two vintage aprons... one for me and one for my daughter. This unexpected gift just made me tear up at the thoughtfulness of my past bride Rachel, who is now expecting her first baby. Congrats Rachel and thank you!
What delightful things have you received lately?

My 12 year old daughter just started her own blog and she just posted her first piece! She is constantly doing craft projects, baking, etc so we came up with a cute blog name and set her up. I wish we had thought of it at the beginning of summer!
If you'd like to see and subscribe to her fun, easy projects, please head on over to www.allieland.com and leave her a comment. Us bloggers love comments! (hint, hint)

I am so excited to share the latest reveal for my new branding... my new website! It was way over due! As a matter of fact, I have been laying it out in my head for a year now and when I realized I just didn't have the time to do it myself, Michael over at Mynted hooked me up. I love it. Head on over and let me know what you think.
Me Says:
I love the vintage post-office vibe! I can't wait to hire you as our photographer some day!
