Early Christmas Present

Filed Under: Photography

I have wanted a kitchen aid mixer for as long as I can remember. I finally convinced Kenny to buy one for me on black friday. We bought it online from Kohls and got a really awesome deal. I was not suppose to get it before Christmas but I also convinced him to let me open it early. I had to make cookies for my upcoming co-host date with Branson. See the button above to learn how you can join in.

We were given a used colored Christmas tree but when we put it up I wasn’t a fan. I did snap a quick bokeh picture though. Then we put up our normal tree.

Life.Captured.   Look whooooo’s snapping Happily Mother After

My favorite  photo from this week.

We have been having some gorgeous sunsets.

You see the logo for my photography business? I am in the process of changing everything over. I added a bunch of new photos to my blog so make sure you check it out. I probably won’t use it all the time for Naptime Momtog but I wanted to show it off. He he.

    I absolutely love your photos and can't wait to check out your blog!! Also I'm way jealous of your Kitchen Aid mixer. I've had my plain white one for about 10 years now. I'm ready for a fun color, just can't decide. It's still working great though so I'm sure some lucky person will get my white one.

Carsyn went through a rough time at school, losing his best friend in the classroom, and losing one of his favorite teachers but he has done amazing adjusting.

Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropical Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropicalplantsusa. I got it just after Valentine’s Day. I think it is time for a repot. I’m going to wait for the new leaf to harden up and then repot it. I have been super happy with the quality.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.
