Our sweet little New Year's Even baby is three months old today! I know it's so cliche, but time has really flown. (Some of those days seemed like they might never end though...haha.) I hadn't really taken my camera out much these past three months, so I decided that a three-month photo shoot was a great time to start. The morning of the shoot, he took an amazingly long nap. I knew he'd wake up happy and it would be the perfect time for photos. Joseph had a great time and gave me a lot of smiles and coos during our shoot. For our first look, I used a quilt that my Aunt Mary Anne made and gave Mike and I as a wedding gift. I really love it! Joseph has been liking tummy time these days and he makes the silliest faces! Maybe you've noticed this crazy boy's hair? I've stopped brushing it after his baths and it dries sticking up every which way. I like his bed head! This might be my favorite shot of the bunch. He's such a swee...

It all started off with an email from this lovely lady: Her name is Jenn and she handles the web presence and event coordinating of Miracle Hill Thrift Stores . Also, she's super sweet. :) Anyway, I got an email from her about a month ago. She'd stumbled across my blog and wanted to know if I'd be interested in being in their Spring commercial. Um, yes! I met up with her a few weeks later at one of the local Miracle Hill Thrift Stores and we started combing the racks. It's a thrift store, you've gotta dig to find good stuff. We managed to find lots of great pieces from great brands. Forgive my face in the first photo! These are a few of the pieces we found. I had a lot to try on! These were all actually rejects for the shoot, but I ended up purchasing the Forever 21 top (left) and Mossimo skirt (right). That was such a fun day. My mom came over to babysit and I got out of the house! All by myself! Shopping followed by lunch with Jenn and home again to ...

I've been the worst blogger lately. Happily, I have a really good excuse. My little Joseph turned 8 weeks old on Tuesday. Can you believe it? He's been taking up a lot of my time. And that's okay because he's wonderful. I've been managing to keep my head above the water when it comes to dishes and laundry, yay! I've also managed to almost finish last year's Project Life album AND start his PL baby book and our 2014 PL album. This makes me feel super accomplished. But the blog has fallen by the wayside. If there wasn't an iPhone app for Blogger, you might have not heard from me at all! But there is, so I can blog while nursing or rocking my sleeping baby.  :) And in effort to blog a little more, I'm going to attempt the SITS Girls 31 Days of Writing Prompts for March. (http://www.thesitsgirls.com/blogging/31-days-writing-prompts-march/) I'll probably skip a few days, but that's okay. :) **Edited to add: Wow, I s...
