In a week.

So much happens in a week. And, it’s been a while since I shared my week through instagram photos. The thing I love about my instagram photos: these are photos of my life. No setting up my camera to get the right photo… no bribing the kiddo to sit still for a minute. Love them.

//We started last week as we always do…. Miss R jumping on the bed to say hello to Mama!

//I was VERY excited to find a hard book copy of Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. This book was a FAVORITE of mine when I was a wee girl. I love the illustrations of the original book. Oh yes. I do. And, I’m happy to share that my girl has fallen for this book too! She’s loving it and asks to keep it in her bed for nighttime reading. <3

//I finally took the time to draw myself. Finally. I was a little nervous to do it… But, I’m so happy I did. I’m now in the process of rendering it in Photoshop. I’ll share with you all when I’m done! I have orders I’m finishing first. P.S. check out my shop if you’d like to order your own custom drawing from meeee.

//I wore my pretty gold ballet flats to the store to buy some groceries… and, come back home to cook some dinner. I wore an apron… So, of course: Ruari wore her’s too.

//Whew… Valentine’s day was a busy busy day! Ruari wanted to say “hi” to all her bloggy kiddo buddies. Then, we played with her horses (one of those horsies is not potty trained), and I made some yum yum yum bacon hearts to top some cinnamon rolls as a Valentine treat! This was R’s first time trying a cinnamon roll. She L O V E D it. Duh. I will admit: I’m still daydreaming of those cinnamon rolls.

//And, then… this last weekend my mom, grandma, the kiddo, and I wandered up to visit family up in Washington. It was lovely. As usual. P.S. they have chickens. Hee. And, since I was already up there I headed out to hang with some cutie bloggers for dinner. I stayed with Mandy head for the night. She’s adorable.

//AAaaaaaannnnnnd….. I finally got my new camera! I’ve been waiting/wanting this beauty for the past year and a half. AND, now I have it. Eeet is ALLLL mine. Bwa ha ha ha ha. <——-I’m a little bit a lot excited times one million. So, yeah. I will be playing with that sweet thing non-stop. It’s going to take a bit of practice to get used to a new DSLR. <3

Happy Tuesday friends!

    Your little girl is adorable, and I love the idea of sharing your week in photographs. That can say so much more than paragraphs of explanation. Thanks for being a fun site to visit! I'm just getting started on my own blog and can't wait to share my ideas/photos/life with fun and creative people like you.

    amazing! so jealous of that camera, Its on my "want/need" list too, but sadly no where near reality yet.

    • The Paper Mama on said:

      Oh, I understand. It was seriously a year and a half of waiting/dreaming.

  • melanie on said:

    I am jealous you found a hard book copy of Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs! That is one of my 15 months old fav. books and the paper one is getting a little crinkled!

    • The Paper Mama on said:

      Yes! I wonder if you could find one on Ebay. 🙂

  • Allison on said:

    I LOVE instagram! I'm new to your blog and really love it!

  • mrsmar on said:

    It's been ages since I have really looked around your blog, due to the fact of having slow internet. Rauri has grown so much.

    Love that camera, same as my one, have fun with it.

  • dumb mom on said:

    New cameras are sooooo fun! Funny thing though is that when I got mine, I still used my old one a lot! Takes some getting used to for sure! Cute pics of your little homegirl, like always!

    • The Paper Mama on said:

      Ha! So funny. Well, I just gave my old one to my mom. 🙂 Now I have to learn how! Ha! It will be perfect for when I'm at BlogHer this year. Yay for new camera and new lens!!!
