Monkey Moo and other Fun Stuff

September 8, 2008

Well, it’s Monday, the start of another busy week. Thought I’d post some fun things to spice up your morning.

I found these adorable stroller pads and stroller blankets while browsing for something totally unrelated. Love the patterns and colors.

That’s it for now…

…and that’s just what they’ll do.

So, I have been wanting a pair of cowgirl boots for quite some time now. I was in Nashville in June (during the CMA’s) and found the most amazing pair of boots I have ever seen. Now I am not a cowboy boot connoisseur so the price sounded like a lot to spend on a pair of boots. (I found out later it really was a good price.) So, I passed on the boots, although I thought about them often. (lol)

Over the last couple of months I have searched high and low on the internet for *My* boots with no luck.
I almost gave up.

Then, after my e-session yesterday (Miss A sported her cowgirl boots in the cutest dress ever)…the search for a pair that I could call my own was ON!
I decided after church today I would go check out a Western store to see if they had anything I’d like. I am rather picky.

We arrived at the store and I walked over to the women’s section while the guys checked out the little boy boots. I stood there looking at all the different styles for about a half a minute when out of the corner of my eye I noticed a pair of boots that looked like those boots I found in Nashville. No, they couldn’t be. I had to call Terry over there to pinch me. Yes, the boots I found in Nashville, that I passed up, that I have not been able to find ANYWHERE, were staring me in the face. I walked up to them slowly, to examine them and make sure they were in fact *my* boots. I tried them on, slipping them on slowly. Then I moseyed on over to the full length mirror to see just how they looked. AWESOME!!

At this point I hadn’t even looked at the price.
I dreaded the thought of paying what they were in N-ville. I slowly lowered my head and peeked at the white price tag on the brown box. I noticed the price had a slash through it. SALE! I anxiously looked for the sale price…there it was….1/2 the price of what they were in N-ville.
SCORE!! Now, I am a girl who loves a bargain, and that they were.

I snatched them up and had them on before I even made it out of the door. They matched the sundress I was wearing perfectly! No, seriously, I did not plan that.

We headed to Target afterwards and I sported my new boots. Nope, I didn’t care that I was the only girl around with a pair of cowgirl boots on. Kind of made me feel special. And yes, they did add a little hop to my step, a little shuffle to my walk. There’s something about cowgirl boots that make you feel a little *sassy.*

No words really…just HAPPY!
P.S. It made me really happy today when my 6 year old helped his classmate tie his shoe without being asked. The way he did it….melted my heart.

Cutest skirts….

August 27, 2008

I don’t have any girls so I have to live vicariously through all of my clients who have girls. lol
I absolutely love Matilda Jane’s line for girls. One day, whether I have a girl or not) I am going to stock up on these oh so cute outfits so that I can have them on hand for my sessions.

Today as I was browsing the www I found these sweet little skirts.

I would so love to photograph a little girl in one of these. I’ll make a deal with you, you buy the skirt, bring it with your daughter to the session and I’ll have a little surprise for you.
What do you say? Deal or no deal?
