Photo shoot with Brittani

Today I worked with the fabulous Brittani. Seriously, this girl is a rocking! We've worked on lots of shoots together. She is just SO SO talented. Her love for fashion really comes out in the pictures. Side note: If you receive Parenting magazine, her little boy will be grazing the cover next month. Told ya, she's the bomb.com.

Anyhow, I snuck a few pictures with my iphone (before it died) during the shoot. Brittani's pics will be so much better, but for now, this will do.

We all melted throughout the shoot, but in the end, the pictures are TDF {I already saw a sneak peek of the real photos}.

Hope y'all had a great Monday!

Sunday Funday

Today we had a nice lazy (sort of) day.
This morning, we all went out for a nice run. The weather was perfect!






I made lasagna in the crockpot, from Lyndsey's blog. It was delicious! BUT, I will say, you need to add WAY more sauce. I added the amount it called for, but it seemed to be too dry. I like my lasagna a little more saucey. We had my mom and cousin over for dinner. Since my husband's birthday is next weekend, and he won't be here, we decided to get a cake a celebrate it a bit earlier. It was a perfect dinner!

I love Sundays like this. So nice to be home with my little family!

Saturday catch up

It was a normal Saturday for us.
I worked for a few hours in the morning then spent the rest of the day with husband and S.
While I was at work, M took S to the museum. They were having a special of $2 admission. They had a blast!

I tweeted yesterday about the great sale Bath and Body Works is having a great sale on their 3 wick Slatkin candles. My girlfriend, who works there, told me of the upcoming sale earlier
This week. I stopped by after work and got two of them. They were 2 for $20, which they're normally $19.50 each. Great deal!
When you bought any home fragrance, you also received a reusable bag (love them) and 3 free mini candles.
Anyhow, I bought the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin and Spiced Cider candles. I already started burning the Spiced Cider candle! My house smells amazing.
Last night we stayed in and had a lazy night. So perfect!







Did y'all have any fun plans tonight?

2 on Tuesday- Island Essentials

Hi Everyone! I'm participating with Andrea again for 2 on Tuesdays. Check out her blog and link up for this fun party!



Today's question was:

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what two items would you wish to have with you? (I know you’ll have more than two. I would have one million. It’s ok if you share more than two.)

SO here goes:

Since I'm apparently by myself on this island, I will need this to keep myself in a good mood b/c it has my songs, pictures and movies on it (on my island, the battery will never die). Anyone that knows me, knows I love to dance. And my son seems to be taking after me as he'll break it down anywhere. (ha!)





I'd also need some face cream with sunscreen. As I mentioned in one of my prior posts, I love Bobbi Brown's face cream and it has SPF 25. So I'll be taking that with me!




Since this is a dream, my body is a rocking, so I'll be sporting this bikini as well. (Hey, it's my island, I can do what I want to)




So that's it! What would you bring?

Cooler weather...

Makes me want to break out some of my Fall staples.
Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves, it's still 80 degrees here, and I'm so jealous of all of you all wearing a light cardigan or sweater.
But I decided it's time to put away the coral and hot pink nail colors. Sniff...
I busted out one of my favorites, Essie Mink Muffs polish. My other favorite is OPI Lincoln Park After Dark, but I'll save that for Winter.







What are your favorite Fall nail colors?

2 on Tuesday

Hi friends!! Today I'm linking up with my sweet friend, Andrea, at My Chihuahua Bites blog. First of all, if you are new to my blog, WELCOME! I can't wait to read your blogs and get to know you all.

One of my absolute favorite things about Fall (the little bit that we get in FL) is the clothing we get to wear. I LOVE boots, sweaters and leggings! That's pretty much my uniform during the cooler months.



My second favorite part about Fall is that my husband has more down time, so we try to travel as much as we can during this time. Here's a picture of my two loves a few years ago in Hawaii.




This picture was taken in the train on our way to the Phillies World Series Game. (GO PHILLIES!)



So, what are your two favorite things about Fall?
