Hissyfits Photography Blog

WAHOOO!! I managed to post again before a week had passed! This is something for the history books! I am hoping against hope to get back in a posting groove again…I MISS blogging!! And I also feel super guilty when I get my weekly email of stats and see that so many of you continue to check in and I am not doing my part and posting something new to read!! Sometimes life just gets busy and time gets away!

Anyway…

I am happy to share that before too long we will be back in Kansas for a week or so and I simply can NOT wait!! I would also love to book a few sessions in the sunflower state while we are visiting! So, if you are in the Topeka, Emporia or Winfield areas and want to see about setting something up, email me at bethany@hissyfitsphotography.com and well see what we can come up with!! I could possibly work something out in the Kansas City area as well, so if that’s where you are and you are interested, let’s chat!! {I’m weird about posting the exact dates we’ll be out of town, but  email me if you are interested in scheduling a session and we’ll go from there!}

And on a completely different note…I’ve been birthday shopping for my favorite girl. I am trying to do most of it on Etsy this year. I have also decided that I am not going to buy a ton of “junk” this time around! I would rather get her fewer, more expensive gifts instead. So that is the story!!

Here is my first purchase!! It will be here before we head to Kansas…and she will be getting it early simply because I want to take her three year portraits while we are there and I want her to wear it!! Who knows…maybe I’ll wash it and wrap it up once we get  home and let her open it at her party anyway!!

Is this not the cutest outfit ever?! LOVE it!!! And so will she I am sure!! Gotta love that girly girl of mine! The designer is making up a cute little head scarf to go along with it!!

And then there is my obsession with hats that I have somehow managed to pass along to sweet Gentry girl! When I was looking through one of my favorite shops, I came across this bright number and KNEW it had to be one of her presents, despite the fact that her birthday is in July and we live in the desert! Total sweetness, don’t you agree? The fabulous creator of this little masterpiece is also whipping up a coordinating scarf in fun, bright colors! So, come November when it is actually cool enough to wear warm hats and scarves, we’ll be having a little photo shoot for sure!

That’s all I’ve bought so far. At least on Etsy. Don’t get me started on Cocobonbons and Gymboree!! I know, didn’t I just say I was trying to do all of my shopping for her on Etsy? Yes, I did. And I am. I only mentioned Gymbo because they are having a CRAZY sale right now!!! You better check it out! And if you happen to have a 20% off  coupon like I did, well, let’s just say you can’t NOT buy something! That is AT LEAST 50% off of everything, and more off the stuff that has been reduced already! {If you get Family Fun there was a coupon tucked in there!!} BUT…I was good. Everything I bought other than some sunglasses and panties is for next year. Every last bit. And what is Cocobonbons you ask? Why totally cute clothes, of course! It all started when my friend Julie had to go and introduce me to them…I had never even heard of the brand before but now am hooked! I am currently awaiting the arrival of my package so I can see this yumminess in person! Let’s just say that this line and this line are absoultey DARLING and I can’t wait to see the pieces I ordered on my beautiful girl!

Alright…the nuggets are getting restless. I took them both in for hair cuts today so that killed about an hour and a half {we had to wait}, but there are still a good two hours before Chris gets home. I am trying SUPER SUPER hard to be a better mom this summer and come up with activities for us. Yesterday it was the splash park, today was an outing to the salon {not too fun, I know, but at least we got out!!} and tomorrow is a playdate. Huntler has already asked when he gets to go back to school. Great. I decided not to put him in this summer after all but I can tell he is really going to miss it!! Hopefully time will fly!!

And remember, if you are in Kansas and want to get together for some photos, email me! I’d love to meet you!

Ta Ta For Now!
