This week I’m trying to stick more closely to a low carb, high protein, high fat diet at least through Sunday. I’ve been slacking in the french fry and dessert and sandwich department so I am starting to feel fluffy. No one should ever like to feel fluffy.
My hubs has his comfort food this week: Chicken herb casserole (complete with two cans of cream of something soup – best convenience food ever invented)
I’m going to also be making some nutty and citrusy muffins for the misters breakfasts this week.
I love beets and had a friend deliver some to me a few weeks ago. I’m going to be making this detox bake
Plenty of salads for me this week.
And we are going to be having a homemade taco salad with homemade guac tomorrow night for an in house date night. I’ve got a blog post to do for a skincare line and why not avocados? So, the mister and I are going to be working on lots of food photos tomorrow night!
And I’m working on a downloadable menu that can be used weekly or reused. I’ll let you know when its avail!
What are you cooking this week?

Today: there will be peanut butter pie on my table. Creamy. Perfect for summer. And an oreo crust – you can’t get better than that. Just for the sake of health, there will be a salad eaten before!
I love one of the recurring themes in the book of Deuteronomy: (not just the law) delight
My mister would really love this refreshing salad so I think I’ll be a good wife and make it for him this coming week
If you want to go look at some pretty photos and buy some of them…I don’t think my friend Coast and Oak would mind?
I don’t know if a hot dog ever looked so good?
What links are inspiring you this week?

Before I was married, I loved going to farmers markets. I love going to them with my husband, too. But with popular farmers markets these days, trying to maintain two toddlers by myself is not something I enjoy. My husband usually works on Saturdays so I would have to take them with, so I just am putting my farmers market love to the side right now. I’m loving all the summer instalove with the markets around the country. Especially the berries, tomatoes, and flowers.
Anna Jones’ new book a modern way to eat is delightful and brings new recipes to mind for the vegetarian. Being a vegetarian isn’t about only eating salads or being hungry all the time. He new cookbook brings variety to the vegetarian palate – many things that you can get at your local farmers market.
There are many new recipes that I want to try – blueberry pie oatmeal, huevos rancheros (secret: I’ve never made them or had them at restaurants – even though I love everything that is in them). SIlly me! Her cucumber satay crunch salad and raw thai citrus crunch salad both bring a new twist on the plain salad.
One thing that let me down in this book was that it wasn’t about ingredients I already had on hand. I don’t want to have to go buy a ton of new things (budgetary reasons) to use a cookbook. But, for now, I’ll try the recipes that I have the ingredients on hand – and then splurge every now and then to try new tastes.
Thanks Books for Blogging for the cookbook – and all opinions are my own.

Coffee…well, maybe popsicles. But that totally fits the summer and the fact that we were discussing photography while watching 3 out of 4 of our children play in the pool on her back deck. Made for a fun morning.
I love introducing you to friends who are good at their creativeness. This is one way I do it. I love to learn and learn more about them, specifically. Enjoy!
Celina and I met through our church, specifically through a freezer meal swap. We have children in the same age bracket (under school age) who like to play together. And we both like to shoot photos!
How long have you been interested in photography? I’ve always been interested in it, but never had much time to practice it. Then I had our daughter. One of our first apartments had no windows, so therefore no natural light. I started with a powershot. Then I moved up to a rebel. Just took pictures, practiced. I started pursuing it as a side career about 2 years ago.
How do you balance being a wife/mom and being a photographer? Photography is a good side business because you can edit at night or during naps and you can set your schedule. There is plenty of flexibility.
What word of encouragement would you share with those starting in photography? Stick with it. It if is something that you like and that God wants – it will happen. Be humble. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and seek advice. Watch tutorials. Ask google. Be creative with a situation – not just artistically.
What type of shoot is your favorite? Newborn definitely. I love to capture the excitement. You can see it in the parents faces.
How would you like to see yourself grow in the next year? I would love to continue to improve. I will never be perfect. I can improve with each shoot.
Why photography? Because I can’t draw. Seriously. It is my creative outlet.

Little toes. Little noses. Little fingers. Lots of laughs and pokes and sweet, tender moments from older siblings. Lots of wonder and amazement from tired but grateful parents.
Newborn shoots are a really sweet time to spend with a new family – maybe been a family for a while – but with the addition of each child, each special creation, a new family emerges.
I got to spend an evening with a sweet family in our church. Baby was quite awake even with a full belly. Perfect lighting outside and eager siblings made it for a fun, eventful evening.
Thankful to be able to capture such moments. Never to be had again.
