We planted a baby Oak we found growing in our front yard a few years ago – and it is now about 10-12 feet tall. I had my first bird\’s nest in it this year – a family of Mockingbirds.
Look at that

Goblin got a haircut
Look at how cute Goblin is with his new haircut!
Kiersten and Jed’s wedding
We rarely go to weddings as guests, but we did at Kiersten and Jed\’s and it was fun! I still brought my cameras, but I wore a dress and heels and everything!
I took this photo of Chris looking handsome
New Tile Floor
We finally got around to putting in new tile in the living room and bedroom. We need to take some photos showing the finished product – but this is our stack of tile from Home Depot. I can\’t say it
Funky Monkey, Orlando
We wanted to try some new restaurants during Orlando\’s restaurant week. One with a good looking menu was Funky Monkey over on Mills. We decided to try it – but when we arrived, they asked if we were
Ducks in the driveway
This family of ducks has been touring the neighborhood every day. The sad part is every day there seems to be one less baby – there were about 6 or 7 to start with. But that is how it works so I try
New Smyrna Beach
One of the best dog beaches (and one of the only!) in Florida is New Smyrna Beach. We love taking the dogs there. We go up to the north end of New Smyrna to Smyrna Dunes Park. It is only a few dollars
Jamee’s shower
Jamee had her wedding shower and it was over the top – the food, the decor – gorgeous!
Since Gilbert is a writer, they had these old typewriters all over with the invitations on them:

Three bean salad
I was waiting in the dentist\’s office reading some magazine – Southern Living maybe? They had these three bean salad that looked awesome and I tried to memorize the recipe but I forgot some of it. The
Pedro Garcia “Mara” heels
I was shopping with my friend MJ when I spotted these Pedro Garcia “Mara” heels. I had a bride with a pair of Pedro Garcia\’s and I had never heard of the brand before. But apparently Saks carries them.
Salted Duck Eggs
We bought these duck eggs from the Oriental Market over on Highway 50 in East Orlando. I thought they sounded pretty good – they are cooked and salted. But they were weird! Almost like hard boiled eggs
Photographers, Equipment and Water
We met a bunch of photographers on the internet and we got together for a shoot up at Wekiwa Springs. I won\’t name any names, but they were all putting huge lights in the water! Not cordless either
Goblin and my visor
When I walk during the day I wear a visor to keep the sun out of my eyes – I thought it would be funny to put it on Goblin today!
Isn\’t he cute?
Black bow wallet
I wasn\’t too sure about this bow trend coming back – but when the new Saks outlet opened, I saw this black bow wallet and I had to have it. It is a Betsy Johnson wallet, too!
Isn\’t it cute:
Aloe Vera Dessert Drink
I picked up this Aloe Vera Dessert drink at the Oriental Supermarket – the stuff is great! It is very sweet and light – with chunks of aloe plant in it. It is a little too sweet to drink the whole thing
Chocolate Souffle
I decided to try and make a souffle one night – and it really wasn\’t as hard as a friend of mine made it seem. Actually, it was pretty easy! I think the hard part is the presentation since it falls
Cheyenne Saloon on Church Street
Since the whole mess with Lou Pearlman and Church Street in Orlando – I was worried on what might happen with downtown. But now that Bob Snow has it – it looks like things are getting better! We were
Chi Omega Tea
We had our annual Chi O tea at Trish\’s Tea in Baldwin Park. This place is awesome – and I had to buy the lemon chiffon tea. I love loose tea and it is so hard to find. I was really happy to learn about
Lino Fitness Photo Shoot
We did a catalog shoot for Lino Fitness and here is the video that Vanessa put online:
We shot at the Solaire in downtown Orlando in the penthouse – it was the ideal photo shoot location! Huge windows,
Yellow Rose Bouquet
I decided to play with some yellow roses I bought at Fresh Market. They have the best prices on flowers by the way – much cheaper than Publix or Albertson\’s! Check them out next time you are there.
