EUREKA!

I finally scored myself a couch!

Just in time for this client's shoot.

Wait to you see her fabulous gang.

Now I'm on the hunt for a sping one too {smile}!

Happy Birthday Little Man!

It's hard to believe that he turns  7 today!

My fearless, sweet, loving, eskimo kissing, rapping, ball crushing, freckle faced little boy.

XOXOXOXO

Meet The Mighty "M" Family!

I must say I love how she styled her family.

Check out this handsome little man....

And look at his pretty sister...

Such a loving family with hearts of gold.

Meet the Adventurous "A" Family!

After dad relaxed about taking his family pictures in the alley, along with the weeds, this family was such fun! Dads can be so funny about little things like that. Just trust mom, she knows what's she's doing!

Momma has her hands full with these three little cuties.

But still managed to pull together outfits that really popped!

Such cuteness!

Mole's move In!

When we pulled up at home last night I commented on the new mole hills we have in the front. I went on and on about how HUGE this one was.

When Gabe said "mom it's a mansion!" True indeed!

Future Heartbreakers!

Yep, not only are these boys super cute.

They are super sweet too.

Such fun they both were.

Loving little mans "sexy" smile!

Awe... how I love little boys!

Slow Cooker Cheesy Potato Soup

Finally, FINALLY, the Canada jet stream has dropped down to greet us!

I L-O-V-E crisp fall days that you can feel when you breathe in deep.

It also means the return to soup lovin’ days! We had this over the weekend and it’s not a bad crock pot potato soup. The kiddos had three bowls each!

Slow Cooker Cheesy Potato Soup

What you need:

1 Bag 32oz frozen southern-style diced hash brown potatoes, thawed {mine were still frozen}

½ Cup frozen chopped onion {I chopped them up and toss in the freezer what I don’t use}
1 medium stalk celery, diced {1/2 cup}
1 carton 32oz chicken broth
1 Cup water
3 Tablespoons Gold Medal all- purpose flour
1 Cup milk
1 bag {8oz} shredded American-cheddar cheese blend {2 Cups}
¼ bacon browned and crumbled
4 medium green onions

What to do:

In a 3-4 quart slow cooker, mix potatoes, onion, celery, broth and water. Cover, and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.

In a small bowl, mix flour into milk; stir into potato mixture. Increase setting to HIGH. Cover, cook 20-30 minutes or until mixture thickens. Stir in cheese until melted. Garnish individual servings with bacon and green onions.

·         I changed it up a bit and added salt, pepper and a tad bit of garlic salt to start.

Happy Eatting!

E- Stands for EXCELLENT ESTATE SALE!

Still prop shoppin’ for a couch, but loving all the goodies I’m finding while looking.

This was an estate sale that we hit about two weeks ago.

One of those drive forever.... then drive forever down a gravel road.... then drive forever down a dirt road. Wondering if you are alone! Then JACKPOT...you see BARN'S full!

Egg crates and old quilts for $12 bucks.

Owl trivets and buffalo china serving platters.

Cool pillows

And the coolest stool I grabed for a Sr. picture prop and forgot to take full length picture of it. You can see the "coolness" of the bottom in this picture.

Great shelf for little man’s room. He has more “collections” than space. And if you squint you can see the postal numbers in the back of each box.

This STOP sign he wanted on our last outing, it was $65.00, this one just $5 bucks.

I love it when I hit a great sale.
