It’s Tuesday again already! WOW these seem to roll around fast!! Wanna know a little secret though? I actually start working on these posts a few days ahead of time! When I think of random bits, I come to the computer and add them! That way I am not racking my brain Tuesday morning trying to come up with ten little bits and pieces to share!! As exciting as I like to think my life is, it really isn’t!!

Alright, let’s get this party started!

1. I may have OCD when it comes to certain things, but so does my husband! I was trying to enter a recipe into MacGourmet {the computer program we use} over the weekend and he hovered beside me making sure I was doing it right. I was not. However, with his help, we got the recipe entered the correct way and all is well!

2. I officially joined the world of Project Runway watchers. I have heard of this show forever but never watched it. Well, for some random reason I happened to see it on the “guide” on our TV Thursday night so we set the DVR. I watched it over the weekend and it was actually pretty good! I am definitely more of the “blend in” type when it comes to fashion, but it was fun to watch them work and create!

3. Some of you know that I adore Sheye Rosemeyer. Her story. Her photography. Her style. She is real. She is transparent. Her writing so raw. I have taken both of her online workshops as well as bought her actions for photo editing. {And in case you are wondering, they are pretty much the only actions I use these days…the best!} The other night I was reading her blog update and saw these. I immediately ordered two sets. One of these days I am going to have the sweetest little tea party for Gentry and her friends…and when I do, these invites are going to be sent to all the little guests. And I will remember…remember to cherish each day with my littles for time passes all too quickly. {PS…if you order these, the price is in pounds and not dollars…I spent more than I thought I was but I really wanted two sets!!}

4. Huntler has his first show and tell on Friday! His teacher is great and is super organized! From one organized gal to another, I LOVE that! She has a theme for each show and tell and everything planned out for the entire year. I am certain we would be great friends outside of school! By the way…the theme this week is a picture of your family. It can be drawn or something he took with the camera or a picture of us doing something that means something special to him. I am sending this. It is from when we had our back yard camp out in May that Huntler talked about for MONTHS! He desperately wants to do this again but we have to wait until it cools down a bit! Laying in a tent in 100 degree heat does not sound one bit appealing!

5. I sold every last item of clothing my kiddos have outgrown last week! One friend came and bought all my boy stuff and another took all the girl stuff off my hands! YAY! Now the only things we have left are what currently fits and the few pieces I am hanging onto that I just can’t part with!

6. If anyone feels the need to buy me a new lens, I really want this one. DEFINITELY not the most practical and I am sure I could really use this one before that one, but what a FUN spin the fisheye puts on images!!

7. Speaking of lenses and photography, I am officially moving full steam ahead with this little biz of mine! This summer it has taken a back burner with the extreme heat, but as the last couple of months of temps in the 100’s approach, I am FINALLY getting my website in the works and all of the business end stuff going! I hope to have it all up and running before the cooler weather rolls in so I can get out and shoot like crazy and not worry about all the technical stuff!

8. If you follow me on Facebook, you know that I update a lot. I probably annoy people, but oh well, they can hide my updates or delete me if they need to! I say that, but I totally mean it!! It was nothing personal, but I had to delete some people that were only posting random things that really didn’t mean anything whatsoever to me! Anyway, last week I was yammering on in a couple of my updates about Crazy 8 and their big sale and my little shopping spree! Not so much a spree, but more like buying a few necessities for the kiddos! I found some super cute knee socks and a winter coat for Gentry. Their sale is over, but their prices are pretty reasonable even without the extra discount! Cuteness, hunh? I am LOVING this coat I found for her! I am SO glad that the one I originally wanted was sold out at Gymboree because this green is PERFECTION! Hello photo shoot!!

9. I scored a pair of $30 sandals on sale for $3 for Gentry at Kohl’s last night!! YAY! Gotta love those end of summer sales!!

10. I can NOT wait until tomorrow! A sweet friend who is also an amazing photographer is coming over to hang out and then take some family pictures for us tomorrow evening!! I am beyond excited!
