I so want to get in a blasted fight with Photoshop! One day I hope to fall in love with editing like I have fallen in love with Photography. Here are some new fun pics...I'll have more of the full sessions on my space over at V-Ville...one day :).



this is my own version of b/w/sepia...its a little different but I like it!


This is my(no she's not really MINE...but she sure does love me) sweet little Amelia.


I'm not a plastic baby editor...is that bad? Want the little tikes to look like they do and not fake. Its an opinion...what's yours?

Where's my red button?

I wrote this post for our other site http://howdoigetfit.com/ but its rare for me to post so figured I spread the love around to my sweet little blog here.

We all know it… the ever so popular red “Easy” button. Story goes like this: something in life comes up that’s hard, the red “easy” red button appears, you press it and the problem fixes itself (Staples, you clever little devil).

I think at some point in our lives (in my case many points) we all wish we had our own red button to push when it comes to reaching our fitness goals. Like this morning at 5am when my alarm was going off and it was time to get up, “Dig Deep” and show up Insanity style. I fished around hoping my red button would show up, my workout would be done and the new skinnier/buffer me would pop up dressed, beautified and ready to face the day. Instead, my button didn’t show up, I slept in until 8:30 (Man-Friend… bless his sweet little heart) and end up bringing the Insanity much later than originally planned.

I hear a lot of people making comments like “I’d love to look like that BUT…” or Insanity and/or P90X is way too hard, I couldn’t do that…” It seems as if they are searching for their own red button to show up and out pops the skinnier/buffer looking person. I’m always asked how I stay fit and achieved the results I have and honestly… it’s HARD and I work at it EVERY DAY!! There is no easy button in life and that includes a life of skinny/buffy goodness.

Ever notice that the greatest rewards in life are the ones we work HARD for? Relationships: Super rewarding and needs work everyday. Raising children: super rewarding (super HARD) and needs work every second! A fit, healthier you: Extremely rewarding and requires hard work everyday.

It’s easy to be fat, it’s easy to eat like crap and it’s easy to not workout. It’s okay to have red button moments but have them and move on. In my case, going Insane much later today sucked… but I had my red button moment at 5am, got over it, brought it later and feel super accomplished.

You can do the same!

Laugh a little

I think we are so blessed to have children in this world for so many reasons but today my little man reminded me of two very important ones. First simple moments and simple things are the BEST things in life. Some of my very favorite moments are the simple ones with my kids. With my little man its when sassy pants is taking a nap or sleeping in and we just talk, about everything. With my sassy lady its the sweet little snuggle we have before she goes to sleep or takes a nap. Or when we all snuggle up and read books.

This morning little lady was sleeping in so little man just talked and laughed over such simple things. He was talking about a cartoon he watched at school, he laughed and laughed which made me laugh. Kids remind us to laugh more, I wish I laughed as much as my little ones do.

New goal be more like my little man...enjoy the simple things and LAUGH A LOT!!
