New chair :)

Today my son and I went antiquing :) I’ve never been to an antique store before and I can say I have been missing out! It was amazing, I could have spent a fortune in there on props alone. I will definitely be going back. I did pick up a chair, after many laps around the store I FINALLY settled on one. I’m telling you, I could have bought 20!


After that my son and I went to the grocery store and bought some picnic food. We were on out way to the park, where I have been scoping out some amazing fields, when IT STARTED TO RAIN! It had been nice and sunny all day, I decided to wait it out and we ate in the car and by the time we were done it was nice and sunny again. The sun was a bit harsh but I wasn’t going to risk the rain again so we shot anyways :)




 The sky looked absolutely beautiful after the rain, I love the big fluffy clouds. They look like paintings in the sky! I was tempted to pull over every time I would see an awesome cloud on the way home to get more pictures but I didn't :)

Another SUNday!

Today was another beautiful day, too bad it was spent running errands. We did get some time to play in the back yard and garden. I have planted over 200 bulbs in my garden and some are starting to pop up :) I’m really excited about this, I have never had a garden before so the sight of little green and red sprouts coming up is so reassuring. I was sure I did something wrong! We also planted strawberries in a big pot, my son is going to LOVE those :)

We found this lovely lady on one of the bushes in the front :)


 My son loves all the dandelions in the yard, I like them too even if they are weeds :) they are pretty weeds!

Earth Day :)

What a great day to start my blog with :) If you know me you know that I am pretty environmental, although I could be better. I recycle as much as I can and I try to be very conscious of the things I buy and the waste my family and I make.



Today was beautiful, a wonderful day to be appreciative of our beautiful planet.
My son and I went to the water close to where where we live just to try to take in some of the nice weather (we don't get sunshine everyday here in Washington, so when we do we try to make the most of it) It was beautiful. I was so envious of the houses perched right on the hill just feet from the water! I got a shot of what one of the houses saw, can you imagine waking up everyday and this being the first thing you see?! Amazing!






we headed to an awesome park next, I cannot wait to do some photoshoots there. I looked for a field of flowers but mostly I just found tall grass. Im considering spreading some flower seeds in one of the fields and making my very own perfect flower field :) LOL.

I did find some flowers though



I even got close enough to a bee to snap its picture, not the best image but Im okay with that :) I am terrified of bugs, especially bees but I really wanted the shot!!
