This weeks challenge: Self portrait.
The challenge: Time to turn the camera around! This is a photo of you this week! Your kids can be in the photo, but don’t need to be. 🙂 A photo of your feet… hands… hair… you don’t have to show your face if you don’t want to, but I encourage it! 🙂

Check out my little stylish feature over at Harper’s Happenings! I don’t think I’m really ALL that stylish… but, I’m trying and Mandy’s Steppin’ Out Saturdays have been a huge help/push in helping me love/enjoy dressing nice/showering again. 🙂 Please give it a visit. And, if you haven’t done a SOS yet… well… it’s Friday! Throw on some clothes and do something nice for yourself. Take a photo and join up!

Soooo… a couple of weeks ago my mom and I wandered into a very random unexpected/awesome estate sale. This extremely lovely lady that had passed on apparently LOVED shoes and wore the same size shoe as me. 😀 Here they are…. $20 for ALL! Plus a pair of silver flats I forgot to photograph. 😀

{Simplicity photo challenge: Routine… trying to get a focused photo with a crazy toddler running around.}

{Texture Tuesday: I used the Serendipity texture set to Overlay.}

I FINALLY caught this on video! Usually when I pull my camera/phone out Ruari stops babbling… not this morning!! Ha ha. It’s a VERY long video. But, I love it! It seriously cracks me up. What is she doing with her hands? She always does that!

A couple weekends ago I was contacted by a writer from the Flux magazine. This is a University of Oregon magazine. It’s mostly an online magazine, but also has one annual print magazine. Great photos and lovely stories! So, she wanted to interview me… while reading some blogs she stumbled into the world of “mom blogging”. Somehow through clicking through a ton of blogs she stumbled onto mine.
