managing the mystery.

xoxo.

three of my favorite things.

this recipe. 

this book.

and this photo.

xoxo.

sometimes i take photos.

 Ah, the desolation that is West Texas.

 Dinnertime!

 You know how we feel about sour cream...

 Us.

Never fear, my brow wax is scheduled for this weekend.

xoxo.

this just might be the coolest toy ever.

How sweet is Twig Creative's Anagram wooden toy camera? Landon and I have joked that when we have kids, we're only going to give them wooden toys and running shoes. This little sucker fits right into the plan.

xoxo.

P.S. You can buy an Anagram here.

what's for dinner?

Wishing I lived in Portland so I could be a part of this CookingThyme class!

Sounds tasty, doesn't it? 

xoxo.

hello weekend.

Hello, weekend. Won't you stay a while?

Fun colored planters from A Beautiful Mess

An amazing photo shoot by Jose Villa, full of peaches, cupcakes and an airstream trailer

These lemon almond coconut ice cream sandwiches look like just the thing for a June weekend

Happy weekend!

xoxo.

P.S. This is my first ever animated gif. Who knew they were such a cinch?

my day.

...was filled with taking these photos. This was the first graduation I've been to where the graduates pose with horses following the ceremony. 

#awesome

the weekend.

This soap is straight from the heavens.
(I did some spring cleaning this weekend, with this killer album as my soundtrack)

Signs of spring... 

Doughnut Sunday 

how was your weekend?

xoxo.

yes, i'm still alive.

Yikes--I can't believe that I've only posted seven (now eight) times this month. To say the least, things are crazy busy. 

I'll be back soon (I hope) to regular daily posts. Thanks for not completely abandoning me in my absence. 

xoxo.

[photos are ones I took recently at a banquet I covered for work]

doing it.

 Would you believe that Landon and I have been married for almost two years and I haven't had any of our professional wedding photos printed? What!??! My office walls could really use some love so I'm finally ordering prints to hang.

Now to decide which ones to print.

xoxo.

reason #1,489 why i love my job.

...I get to take photos! LOTS of photos. Part of my job is photography coverage for the events we have on campus. I thought I'd share some recent photos that I've taken, just for fun!

someday...

i will write a real post again.

my sign of busyness is whether or not i have time to go on pinterest, 

and i haven't pinned (like really, really pinned) for days!

xoxo.

the weekend [ptl].

Friday, is that you? Is that really you? I can't believe the weekend is here.

Wanna know how I feel about it?

...

So happy I could just fling myself onto a moving train.

Okay, so there was actually no flinging involved in this photo and the train wasn't moving, but I am happy for the weekend. This has been a long, long, tiring week and I'm ready to relax!

And hang out with these two...

Happy Friday and happy weekend!

xoxo.

the [relaxing] weekend.

Oh Monday, are you here already? We had a great weekend that included (1) Mac and Cheese with Roasted Chicken and Goat Cheese; (2) A little snoozin'; (3) Fresh produce sent from Grandma Heath (can you say guacamole?!?); (4) Covering a Volleyball Banquet for work (hence the photos taken with a slightly nicer camera than mine...and by that I mean waaaay nicer); (5) A little portrait photography practice (taken by Landon); (6) A de-lish pad thai, thanks to this book (a birthday gift from Ry + Ash).

We also had some sweet little snowflakes last night, but I don't think they'll stick around for long.

How was your weekend? Have a fabulous Monday...

xoxo.
