This one's for you!

Alyssa: Mom, where's Caleb's Tuxedo?
Mom: Um...in his closet, why?
Alyssa: Nevermind.

10 Minutes later...




Forget about it. I had to stop what I was doing and shoot away. They actually requested it, and that's not usual. It is for my daughter, but not my son. They made my day!




I've had many people mention that I've been lost in the blog world but when the HUSBAND actually brings it up, you know it's been a while. So, this one's for all who missed me! Promise to be back soon. No, for real!

My baby the Graduate...

Seems like just yesterday I blogged about her first day of school (click here for that). Well, tomorrow is her last day of school! My big girl. She's so excited. She has her pre-k graduation on friday. I already rented the limo and the photographer will be here by 6:00 pm. HA! Just kidding. She will ride her little buns in our 2007 honda civic and her hot momma is her photographer. BAM! Will post pics and details this weekend on all our crazies. Thanks for stopping by!

Harvard...here she comes!

Where have I been?

Really? It's been a while since I've blogged. At first I was just really busy but then...got a little discouraged due to some stuffasis but...here I are! And with lots to say but I will make it quick cause...I'm tired. Okay, where to start? Well, I decided about 5 weeks ago to grab my weight gaining issue by the horn and do something about it. I started eating healthier, following the South Beach Diet, and well...drum roll please...I've lost 10 pounds! I have a lot more to go but it feels good to see my stomach and waist area smaller. I feel soo good! I'm not even suffering, I'm eating well and enjoying it. I do however miss one thing and one thing only...PIZZA! That's my weakness but I'm doing good. It does not control me, it just makes my mouth water everytime I think about it! Next, I'm working on lots of indoor projects lately. I finally got my indoor lighting kit a few weeks back and have been having so much fun with it! It's very different from natural light photography but I'm really liking it. I was also blessed by a special group of woman a few weekends ago who got together with me for a belated scrapbook bday party. Really, it was just an excuse to get together with my gal pals and have adult conversation without interruptions...eh hem...no kids! Not only did we have fun but they pitched in and helped me buy some backdrops and other photography misc as their gift to me. Thank you so much girls...that was unexpected and very much appreciated! I've been very busy with booking and editing sessions but I cannot and will not complain. I'm seriously happy! There's more but, we'll leave it for another post. Thanks for stopping by and checking me out...now go check out my photography blog HERE!

Seriously, stay tuned and get ready to tell your friends and family to check out my blog for details on a FREE photo shoot!

And just because a post with no photo is boring...here's yet another picture of Alyssa. And no, I don't have a favorite...Caleb just doesn't like taking pictures when I want to. He's a special case that one ;)

Check it out HERE. Finally!

I've been bad...

with the blogging situation. I think writing for the whole month of February sucked my creative writing part of my brain totally dry. Not only have I been a little lazy with it but...our internet has been giving us issues lately. Whenever I'm in the mood to blog...it doesn't feel like working. I'm actually not home right now which is why I'm posting away. I'll post again this week with something more interesting. Promise. Here I leave you with pics of my beautiful little mermaid. Isn't she cute? (Thanks Titi Mary). Shadows were drivng me crazy but she was telling me what to do. She demanded a photo shoot and I was all over it! (She posed her self, promise)!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Woohoo! 32 and loving it! I feel so blessed! I have had one awesome day and a half so far. I won't go into too much detail because I'm so tired but, it really was soo perfect. To start off, thanks to a very special person (you know who you are) that gifted me babysitting services for the weekend in order for me to have some me time which truly made a difference. I love you! So, my totally fantabulous husband started off the morning with his surprises. I was totally clueless what he had up his sleeve. He totally surprised me with a couples pampering at The Setai Spa in Miami Beach. Talk about BEAUTIFUL! It was breath taking. Even if the massages totally would've sucked, which they didn't, the view and amenities would've made up for it...absolutely gorgeous. Thanks to "our people who know people" for making this possible. You totally hooked my man up. Check us out...











I didn't want to leave but...the day had to go on. We went for lunch at The Knife at the Grove and just hung out the rest of the afternoon. It was perfect. No kids and a bunch of uninterrupted conversations and laughs. I love my children dearly but I so needed this time off...God knows! Plus they were in good hands and didn't miss me at all. Well, I ended the day with my best friend Emily (sorry, no pics of that). She treated me to pizza at Sir Pizza which by the way has a new location off lejeune and 40th St (there pizza is so yummy). We caught up on girl talk and laughed til we could barely breathe. I couldn't have asked for a better day! Tomorrow is another fun day in store for the birthday girl...I'm free til tonight so, I must take advantage! Thank you to all those who text or called to wish me a happy birthday. You all made me feel special! Tomorrow I'll post a pic of the awesome shoes my mom bought me. TOO COOL! Muah!

Happy Birthday Bethsy

Happy birthday my darling sister. I hope you enjoyed your day and felt as special as you truly are. Thank you for being who you are and for loving me regardless of my faults. I admire you more than I tell you, and you still love me! That's just cool. Thank you for always being there for me (in every way) and for being such a caring and giving person (in every way). I look forward to our birthday celebrations together. I will get more personal in the "butterfly" project I showed you. If I write it all out now...I'll lose journaling material. I love you!
