Blog Roll Monday: 3 Peas Photography

Blog Roll Monday- I read about 40 some blogs a week, and I'm always finding more blogs I love to read and add them to my list. This is where I feature 1 blog off my list and tell you why I love it, and why you should start reading too!

I came across this blog a few weeks ago. Based in Minneapolis, MN 3 Peas specializes in children's and baby photography. I really love her fresh perspective on taking children's photographs. I really am learning a ton from her images. She takes some awesome shots of babies, children and families. She has the most adorable children in her photos. It inspires me to do something different, out of the box, and timeless with my own photographs. If you haven't seen her work I urge you to check it out.

I SAY....

....... it's ok if you want to paint your nails red at 11:59 PM and then go to bed.
....... it's ok if you spend the whole evening on the couch flipping back and forth between two movies.... you've already seen.

...... it's ok, if your Hubby stays up all night long watching March Madness...he's the one that has to get up early.

..... that if getting a new haircut makes you feel like a new Woman, do it! And often.

..... that it's ok to save for BIG purchases and pay it off right away... the pay off is much sweeter than going into debt... who has time for that!?!

..... that it's ok not to have a dinner plan everyday, for every week. You're Husband and marriage will survive.

..... it's ok to take a leap, explore the possibilities, even if they are unknown!

Fantastic Friday- On this day....

Fantastic Friday- is a weekly feature on entertainment and fashion! These are just for fun! They do not pertain to Hubby, Marriage or Family!

Today's feature is a little article I found on msn.com, that tells you all about the things or people who were born on your birthday. Naturally this intrigued me, so I went to the article to find out more.

October 18th- My day!
Here's a few things that happen on my birthday.
October 18, 1767- The Mason-Dixon line is established (if you don't know that this is, look it up and don't tell anyone.)
October 18, 1867- The U.S. officially takes ownership of the territory Alaska! Hello, Sara Palin!
October 18, 1873- Reps from Princeton, Yale, Columbia, and Rutgers Universities formulate the rules for football! Yeah, Go Hawks!!
October 18, 1898- American troops raised the U.S. flag over Puerto Rico.
Nothing cool happened after the 1800's...except for me being born of coarse!!
When I was in high school I shared my birthday with about 10 other students also born on my day. Here's a few cool celebs born on my day:
Chuck Berry and Mike Ditka
And just for fun, I checked out Hubby's Birthday. Wow, he is way cooler than me. He had 2 Presidents born on his birthday, and an American explorer. And, a few more cooler things happened on his day Nov. 2nd!

Signature Soirées

I've been thinking about doing this for a while now, and decided to just go for and start! I love being creative in many ways. There's a few things in life I'm passionate about, and love getting creative with. My top three are;

1. My writing

2. My photography

3. My events

I love planning events, not only did I have the time of my life planning my own wedding but I've really enjoyed planning parties, birthday parties and showers as well. There's something about making people feel honored and special that really excites me! I've decided to start a blog writing about all my event planning and ideas. I made my first post this morning, and more will come this week. Check it out and let me know your thoughts!




I hope you enjoy it as much and I know I'll have writing it!

Happy Reading!

Love from Mr. Mailman X2!

At around 10 am this morning, Bentley started barking like a crazy protective pup that he is...at Mr. Mailman! I however, was excited for him! I love getting mail, I love going to by mailbox and getting a awesome letter (like people used to write), and card, a glossy magazine or two, and even the bills! But today, it meant that my second lens had arrived! Yipee!! Today, I received my 75-300mm 4-5.6 lens! All shiny and new! I got it out of the box and hooked it up to my Rebel and thought, "boy, this thing is heavy." None the less I was playing already like a girl who just got a new toy!If you want to know what makes this one so sweet, jump on over to my photography blog and I'll explain more!

Happy Wednesday!
