Stripes It Is

I've never been a fan of stripes but after wearing this sweater, it changed my mind a little. I didn't look like a cow like I thought I would. So, I'm going at it again today and I feel like I look thinner than I really am. In this case I may be wearing this cardigan every day!

Welcome Aboard Penny-Pinching Airlines

Family Portraits: Go Eagles!

We've been wanting to get family portraits taken since the kids were tiny babies but, the studios in our area are really expensive. I got a call from my mom earlier this week asking if my family would like to do a photo shoot. One of the newest employees at her company is also a photographer. She needed models for her website and we wouldn't have to pay for anything. WINNER!

When my husband and I discussed family portraits in the past he said, "The only way we can dress alike is if we all wear Eagles jerseys." So, we did half of the shoot in our jerseys (notice I had to jazz mine up just a bit with the pearls) and the other half in plain white shirts. We had so much fun! Our back drop was Leesylvania State Park in VA, how cool! I'll be sure to post the pics when we get them back!
