Thanks, Nicole!





The fantastic Nicole from A Little Sussy invited one and all to come to her food-on-the-head photo shoot. We convinced Abby and Jamie to come with us, and we had so much fun! I think the food choices and the expressions on the faces capture my kids' personalities well. Norah has always been a rather stoic child. I can't wait to see more of the photos.

Here are my sweet sister's family's shots. Milo was definitely not feeling the Fruit Loop love. He jumped off that stool so fast. I'm truly amazed that Nicole got such a good shot. What a great photographer she is, and so so nice!






PS -- Abby, you should be a model. Also, it looks like you're not wearing any clothes.

I love these pictures! What a creative photo shoot. It would have never occurred to me to dump stuff on people's heads and take a photo. AG

Norah: pepto bismol, which color hasn't washed out of her hair
Elliot: chocolate milk
Isaac: green pancake batter
Aaron: chocolate doughnuts
Pearl: milk
Jamie: eggs
Abby: beef vegetable soup
Milo: Fruit Loops

Nicole is a photographer for a stock photo company, so she comes up with various scenarios and photographs them, then sells them and companies search through for photos they need in their advertisements, etc., buy them, and use them however they want. She has a bunch of other food shots up at her blog.

Steve and I didn't do it, mostly due to that being outside of Steve's comfort zone, and my hair not looking cute.

The pictures are great. The pink hair suits Norah so don't worry if it doesn't come out. All look really cute, snapped at just the right moment.

My favorite pics ever. love them! It was fun to see you Emily in your gorgeous home with your delightful children (really delightful!), fantastic green kitchen, cool art work, great shorts (did i tell you that I really love those shorts?). Also, on the way home Brandi and I concurred that we really love your teeth. You are still stunning and it was really great to see you!

Brandi still hasn't had her baby and i am now home:(.

What a fun and colorful experience:) I dreamed of having Jem and the Holograms pink hair when I was little and all it would have taken was pepto, huh? Norah is so lucky.

My favorite liquid would have to be the Pepto. Great texture and viscosity (and color, despite it's tendency to not wash out of blonde hair)

This is a story about heroes

Last night while reading in bed, I developed a hankering for sweets: specifically, cookies or cake. Almost enough to get out of bed and make something. So I said, "Steve, I really want some cake. Or a cookie. Almost enough to get out of bed and make something." Then I added, "Why don't you call the Fattalehs and ask them if they have any cookies at their house." In very uncharacteristic fashion, my husband picked up his phone and asked, "What's the number?" I told him and he dialed something else and got the wrong number, and then I told him again and he dialed right the second time. He then got David on the phone and asked if they had anything sweet that we could come get because I felt like eating something sweet. Jami the hero always has delicious offerings at her house that she has made and that she is willing to magnanimously share with others, so David the hero said, "We do! We have brownies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We'll ...

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i...
