White Pants

I had to reach my mid-30's before I was finally brave enough to buy white pants.  I haven't worn white pants up until now because I know I will either spill stuff on them or be the person who sits in something funky on a park bench or something.  So why the change of heart?  Bleach!!  Now I realize if I spill something white pants are about the safest thing you could ever bleach, so bring on the white pants!  I'm also pretty sure they go with everything and now is the time to wear them since isn't there some rule about after Memorial Day?  I don't know, I'm new to this white clothing concept so I need someone to fill me in.  

I had a great family session recently for a couple who are tying the knot this fall.  I can't wait to hang out with them again, it's going to be a blast!

And here's proof of my white pants - and sweet shirt from Maker of Rad :)

Fluffy Puppies

Five fluffy, adorable puppies (4 girls, 1 boy) came to visit me yesterday and I did not want them to leave, and neither did my kids!  I really wanted to snuggle with them for hours and get puppy kisses all day!  We even got some fun playtime outside and I could have watched them run around for hours.

These are the same puppies I photographed before when they were teeny, but now they are 8 weeks old and will be listed soon with Small Dog Rescue of MN so that you can adopt and take them home when they are 12 weeks old - let the adoption applications start!  :)

The families who get to take these puppies home are going to be so lucky to add these adorable fluffies to their lives!  Can you tell I'm a little jealous?  ;)

Don't forget to fill out your adoption application here!

Piper

Piper (known as Coco on the Secondhand Hounds website) is one of the happiest dogs I have ever met.  She is full of smiles and loves attention!  This sweet girls deserves a great home and I know firsthand that she likes to give out kisses ;)

You can adopt Piper (look for the name Coco) through Secondhand Hounds!

My Garden Includes Beets

I started a garden again this year which I planted promptly on Memorial Day - it's nice to be prompt with something!  This year I am growing loads of kale because my daughter eats it like a rabbit right out of the garden, and I have some new things including beets and broccoli.  I am not a fan of beets but my son picked them out (I told him he would have to eat them, so we'll see how that pans out) and the broccoli just because.  I am not growing corn this year because that was a major fail last year and what I thought I could use as decorative fall corn stalks just ended up being a huge pain to clean up.  

Now, the stressful part is just remembering to water everything!  Wish me luck :)  Oh, and if you have any *good* recipes using kale or beets please let me know - I'm pretty much stumped on the beets.

I had a fun session with this adorable 2 yr old!  So much cuteness she got a long blog post!!
