Harrison being Harrison

I took some pictures of Harrison yesterday, mostly because I don't have near the amount as I did have when Olivia was his age.  Poor 2nd child.  I am pretty sure his eyes are blue, just like his sister and Dad. We got lucky twice (I have hazel).

Of course big sister wanted in on the fun. That last picture is me saying Where is your belly button! haha she gives you a good flash every time. Can you tell she just had lunch??

Later this week, I will be doing a tutorial on silhouettes in Illustrator.  It's going to be a good one!

Declan's Party

About 3 months ago, my friend Alana asked me if I would be available to make her son Declan his birthday invites as well as labels for the party. I of course did and had so much fun in the process.

(some information has been changed)

Below are actual pictures taken from her blog of the party.  All the labels were done by me with the creative eye from Alana! You have got to check out her blog and see the rest of the party! It is sooo adorable!

My prints in a bathroom remodel

One of my customers, Jordin, emailed me to show me the prints she ordered from me in her new bathroom remodel.  I thought she did such a nice job picking out the perfect colors in the bathroom and the prints added such a nice touch! You should go check out the full remodel.

Counting Calories

I have realized the only real diet that works for me is counting calories.  I am very much a visual person so I love to write things down and be able to go back and look at.  If you have ever used the My Fitness Pal phone app, then you know how awesome it really is. This app allows you to keep track of your daily intake of food.  You can set a goal of how many calories you want to consume and then input food in which tells you the amount of calories it has in it.  Lately I have been sticking around 1500...I try and eat around 1200 though just because I know I will see more results that way.  

Photobucket

Counting calories has also made me so much more aware of how many calories are in food or the actual suggested servings sizes.  I realize how much I was over eating.  I have been doing this for 2 weeks and have already lost 10 lbs.  It's a great thing to have to work toward because seeing one less pound on the scale is so worth not engorging myself in chocolate ice cream the night before (which has been oh so tempting).  Do you use this app?  What types of "dieting" methods work for you?

**Also- I need 2 more people who want to join the children's book exchange.  All you need to do is buy 1 book and you will get 36! Email me Dianawinksmith at gmail dot com to be apart of it!!
