Here are a few happenings:
I was able to spend a lot of time just being with Haley and Shayna over the holidays and it was absolute heaven. This week has been a bit rough – Haley was sick and “real life” started again – having to get back to work and school, but now we are back on track! {Yes, it is Friday. Yes it took us a week to get back on track. But hey? What can I say? We’re slow sometimes!} 
My NEW website is completed! Yay! I am SO loving it. Please drop me a line or a comment and let me know what you think!
I have to say a very big, very special THANK YOU to the talented band Addison Road for allowing me to use their beautiful song, Hope Now on my website. Please check out their website, read their awesomely written blogs, buy some music and get inspired!
Sometimes, because I am a career woman (~giggle~ can’t believe I called myself that), a mother of 2, a daughter, a friend, a blogger and a photographer all in one, I put things off. Typically what gets put on the back burner the most is my photography; my passion. This year I really want to get my skills as a photographer up to the next level, and stop putting off something I adore so much. What better way to do that than to practice, right? So I started a Project 365. I will {try} to take a photograph of something every day for 365 days. They will be personal photographs that document a year in my life, from daily activities, my favorite things in life – including photographs of my daughters to items that discribe the day or my feelings that day. I will share my Project 365 photographs here often so please keep checking back! Here are days 1-8:
1/365
Shayna. We call her Shayna, Shay-Shay, Baby Shay, Shane or Love.
2/365
Shayna, my 2 year old, picked out her own outfit today. I don’t think I could have picked one out better myself! She got the wings and tutu from my sister for Christmas and insisted on wearing them to the park today, and of course she picked out the red patten leather shoes, too!
3/365
My 7 year old got a Wii for Christmas. Let me just say that she likes it…slightly.
4/365
My big girl is sick today so the little one and I went with quick and cheap for dinner….the ol’ stand by, Top Raman. She was taking bites too big for her mouth but we were laughing and it was fun. My flash was upstairs so this was taken with the available light in the room, so the lighting is not so great but I still love the picture. Of course I do. I’m a mom.
5/365
She sleeps….
6/365
Today I feel a little old. A little defeted. I have managed to have perfect eye sight for 34 years and now I am told that I should have these to help me see the computer screen better, maybe to help me read, too. I like them and things are a bit more clear now. They are just a little reminder that everything must go…eventually.
7/365
Bath time! Both girls love bath time (this week, anyway)! I bought some specail bubble bath this week and they have taken a bath three days in a row now. Usually it’s a fight to get them in there. Why did it take my 7 years of being a mother to find out all I needed to do was buy bubble bath?!
8/365
The Shoes. Shayna loves these shoes. She wears them ALL the time, preferably without socks. I have a thing for shoes and because I have two daughters, I knew that someday my problem would become their problem; but at two? Seriously…come on…. lol…
