my clothes diva
The LRA Grant Program states that they don’t expect us to fix our home ourselves, it can be contracted out. But if we did do work ourselves, we are allowed to pay ourselves back for labor costs. This means we got some money for all those long hours Jason put in working on the house doing so much of it himself and I got some for all those hours of painting too. We decided to most of that money towards clothes for everyone, we need them so badly. I did a ton of shopping for the kids online and the first box arrived yesterday from Gymboree for Taryn. She had a complete BLAST going through it all. She got shoes, […]
Just for you…
I seem to have a lot of new viewers lately as my blog stats recently have doubled, my counter hit almost 500 yesterday – holy smokes that’s crazy!! Who ever dreamed so many people would be so interested in our little world?! So whoever you are out there, welcome! Feel free to post comments, say hi and ask questions, I’m an open book! I was so astonished by the hit counter here yesterday I decided to check the Giggles n Grins website counter, which I never do because I can never remember my password. I almost fell over when I saw it had over 7000 hits in the last week….uhm wow. Who looks at it? I can’t help but wonder […]
I smiled.
It’s imperfect in almost every technical aspect, and yet to me, it’s perfect in every way.
More Photography By Ty
Got my laptop back! Woohoo! And it was only a $169 fix, can’t beat that! I’ve been working like a mad woman to catch up on all my client proofing and emails. I’m sooooo behind and so thankful for having very, very understanding clients! Here are a few pictures that Ty took at a park while we were in Austin. Can I just say how proud I am of him? Ok, and maybe a little jealous. I really like his perspective. When we found out we would be visiting, we immediately called my in-laws and Jason’s grandparents to see if they wanted to meet us there. They live in Corpus Christi and we were just going to be too close […]
Heart 2 Heart
I’m so excited! One of my photographs has been chosen to appear on the front page of the newly designed Heart to Heart Studios jewelry website. And even better, it features both of my kiddos 🙂 The owner of H2H asked me to take a few shots of the jewelry I ordered as Christmas gifts, here are all the images I submitted if you wonna take a peek. Melissa makes awesome jewelry and her customer service rocks. Check out her stuff, I’m loving the new photo business card holders too!
this little piggie…
Jason usually gets up before I do to get ready for work. If the baby is awake in her crib he will go get her and bring her into bed with me to play while he finishes getting ready. I woke up this morning to the sound of Taryn playing “piggies” with her baby doll next to me. She points to the big toe and says “market”….”lalalalala” for the next three toes and then a big “WEWEWEWEWE” for the last piggie as she tickles her babies cheeks. I love that. I’ve been reminding myself a lot lately that these are some of the best days of our lives. Someday our children will grow up, they will leave us and we’ll […]
