Hey Mom, This One's For You...

My Mom told me once that this photo was her favorite photo from childhood. So I stole it from her. Yup, when she wasn't looking one day, I snagged this picture. I'm going to give it back of course. But first I wanted to try and see if I can fix it for her.

I know I should remember more about why this is her favorite childhood photo, but I can't. I think it was her first time catching a fish. I'm sure it was a nice outing with her parent's. Just one of those memories that your always fond of. So here is my shot at fixing it... XO -K.

Fabulously Fall

I love fall. It is by far my favorite season. I love the beautiful colors, the rich reds, plums and golds. I love the sound of the leaves fluttering across the ground as the wind softly blows them. I love crunching through the leaves as I walk down the streets. I love the smells of pumpkin spice lattes and warm apple cider. The smell of fires burning in warm houses in the coolness of the dawn.  This Monday's inspiration are the colors of fall. I hope you enjoy these photos of my favorite fall colors. XO K.

Another Thursday...

...that I decided to not wear jeans to work. I found these boots  that I really love. They go great with jeans, skirts or dresses. And they're flat footed so I can work all day in them. It really feels great to dress up every once in a while, and I'm getting great comments from friends, family, the blogging world and even passer bys!

Project Monday + Scrap

This weeks Project Monday inspiration is "celebrate". We definitely had our plates full of celebration this weekend! On Friday was a friends daughters birthday party, a costume party since her birthday is actually on Halloween. You would think a child would tire of a holiday birthday, but this little girl loves it, and she has a costume party every year! 

Then Saturday we took Celeste to a Trick or Treat event in downtown Reno's Riverwalk district. I love all those little shops :) 

On Sunday we had another birthday party in the afternoon. Then Celeste was off to her Dad's for some more Trick or Treating. And I celebrated with some much anticipated scrap time with my new goodies!

Journaling says: I want to be a photographer, I want to be an artist, I want to be a wonderful mom. I want to be happy and successful. I want to always realize the beauty that is my life, my world & never give up, never let it go & I do. I want to be unabashedly, irrevocably me.

This page speaks to my current frustrations of right now. I feel like I haven't reached the point in my life I thought I'd be at by now. I feel like I want to grow up and be me! I'm tired of my lame retail job and I really just want to be everything I've always aspired to be, and I want to be that person now.

No Jeans at Work!

I was blog surfing before class started last night and I came across a quote that read something like "life is too beautiful to worry about fashion do's and don'ts"

So this morning I decided to just go ahead and not wear jeans to work today. Thursdays are mostly a paperwork day, so it is pretty much the only day I can get away with it. Everyone loved it though...

Cardigan from Old Navy, Dress and leggings from Kohls. And these pretty shoes are my oxfords from Piperlime, I love them! They have enough of a heel to add some spice, but still flat enough to be comfortable in all day.

I ordered some scrap book supplies from two peas last week and it has finally arrived! I am so excited, I haven't had new supplies in a long time, I can't wait to make some pages. We are super busy with Halloween activities this weekend, but I'm hoping to squeeze some scrapping in!

What I wore Yesterday

I was having myself a little Ghost Adventures marathon yesterday via my DVR. Afterwards I decided to head to Virginia City. Before I even made it to the base of the mountain I decided to turn around due to the nasty weather. So we just spent the rainy afternoon inside cuddled up on the couch watching movies. But at least I looked cute!! All in all it was a fairly lazy, and relaxing weekend, which is nice because now it's time to gear up for Halloween, Yay!! -XO K.
