If you guys follow me on instagram, you have seen all the preparations I have been making for our daddy daughter activity. It was last weekend and it turned out so great!

Our theme was dancing with daddy. So we decided to do photos. I wanted to come up with something fun and cute that would let the girls loosen up in the pics. So I decided to make some photo props.

Gourmet gift basket giveaway

Connie — Tue, 21 May 2013 17:56:51 +0000

Father's day is coming up everyone. Do you have your gifts ready? I sometimes think this can be a hard holiday to shop for. I tend to think electronics, but do you really know what they would want. Or which items go with their systems. Ask a guy what they want for a gift and you usually get I don't know, oh anything etc. So you go to the store and pick up a tshirt. Or is that just me?

This year, how about a gourmet gift basket?

Appliance shopping

Connie — Wed, 15 May 2013 00:31:07 +0000

Remember when I wrote about my fridge not getting cold? Well we thought we had it fixed. After unplugging and defrosting 3 times, we decided to throw out all the food {better safe than sorry} and got all new groceries. We thought things were ok. It had been a week all was working well. Then this morning I noticed it was frosting over again.

So we decided enough was enough and we are shopping for a new fridge.

I would love your opinions. I think I am leaning towards a french door fridge.

See this guy?

Love him! He always takes a great photo too. He's a natural in front of the camera.

See...and he doesn't even try. He just looks so kind and happy. It shines through. That is one of the things I love most about him. He is the nicest most giving person.

Gender reveal photo shoot

Connie — Thu, 09 May 2013 06:00:26 +0000

My cute neighbor just found out she is expecting a boy! I couldn't be more thrilled for her. I can't wait for her little bundle to get here so I can snuggle with him. My baby just turned 4 and I miss that newborn stage.

The idea for this photo shoot was entirely hers. I think it is quite adorable.

How to wear a buff and giveaway!

Connie — Tue, 07 May 2013 19:12:10 +0000

The nice people at Duluth Trading company heard I had a big gardening project coming up and offered to send me some work clothes.

What I really love about these clothes is that They are designed for and tested in sweltering hot, high humidity heat. They don't look like your typical gardening clothes either. They have cool to the skin and moisture wicking properties built in. Plus UPF and UV protection.

I was also sent a buff to wear and my girls LOVE it!

So we decided to put together a video showing ways to wear a buff.
