Mommy Mondays {What's For Dinner}

It's really hard to find the right words to start out this week's post for Mommy Mondays so I am just going to dive right in and say it...Aggghhhhh!!!!

Before school started I had these preconceived notions of quiet days at home getting tons and TONS of work done (both around the house and for the business) and well, that just has not been the case at all- so what gives???

From the new morning routine, the car line, traffic, back home, cleaning, breakfast, tending to baby girl, checking email, editing, following up with brides, working on new marketing campaigns, laundry, dishes, squeezing in a workout, phone calls, more emails, blog posts, story time, diaper changes, album designs etc...and that's just the first half of the day- phew...by early afternoon I was on auto pilot but without actually making any headway or progress on my to do list, much less keeping up with the kiddos PTA meetings and TBall practices and then the question comes...what's for dinner (uh-oh!)...

So today Adam and I sat down and created a weekly menu- yes, VICTORY!!! After searching online for a simple template I decided to make my own and am so proud of how it turned out. A small win for today, oh but what a fantastic start to the week!

Tomorrow I will tackle the "Brain" binder (details to come on that fun project) and the ever changing family schedule as TBall season kicks off, Early Holiday Sessions begin to book and Special Fall projects take us on the road....whoo- hooo, it's never a dull moment and though at times it may seem like life is a bit of a whirlwind I am so thankful for each and every moment :)

Holiday Sneak Peek {Camille + Scott}

Oh wow, did the cold come fast and finally smack this Florida girl in the face- ha! But, I could not think of a better couple to brave the cold (and wind) with than Camille and Scott.Now, it's no secret that I adore Camille and just have soooo much fun when I am with her...however, to say that they are hilarious together is a huge understatement.

We were all laughing so hard that it was hard to relax the smile for just a couple seconds before cracking up again, but we managed and think we did pretty good :)
Camille, thank you for your warm smile, giving heart and endless supply of super-charged positive energy. Scott, thank you for loving Camille so much so she can be such a blessing to others- you are both so wonderful!Merry Christmas!!!

Holiday Sneak Peek {The Thornton Kids}

Meet the three little sweeties from the Thornton clan...
Maddox, Colby + Miss OliviaPut them all together and you get just the right mix of cleverness, humor, determination and just a dash of spunk and sass to keep you on your toes :)

Yes, without a doubt they are sweethearts through and through!

We love you, Thornton Family :)

Merry Christmas!!!

Sneak Peek {Brooke + Billy}

I have to first just let it out and share how much I
L-O-V-E Brooke :)
We have been friends since High School and had such a great time together my Junior and Senior year. Every time I see her a part of me is transported back and I get the warm and fuzzies and feel soooooo young again (not that I am "old"- he, he!)

So of course I was thrilled to spend a beautiful morning in the park with her and her super sweet husband, Billy (and can't forget their little cutie pie, Oliver).

Brooke designs amazing custom stationary, invitations and greetings {Trendy Ink Designs} so I knew she had a vision in mind. We got our game plan together as Billy and Oliver waited patiently and then everyone fell right in place.
I love the simplicity and playfulness that their little family has, can't wait to see what Brooke comes up with for the Holidays!
And this one is my all time favorite! It just encompasses what the day was all about and to me is the perfect picture of a memory :)

Brooke and Billy, thank you so much for a wonderful morning and a great friendship- you too are so cute! xoxo :)
