come with me...

well hello!
whatdoyathink?
did you notice my simply lovely blog make over!!??
heather is such an artist, huh?
she could do one for you too, ya know.

now, come along with me and i will take you on a lovely little afternoon trip.
first of all, wanta see what my kids see me as lots of the day?
yah, i look so super friendly, huh?

i simply love ella's bathing suit this year.
wish they made it in my size.
somehow i think my legs might look a little....different than that.
i also tried braiding a strip of fabric into her hair this weekend and it turned out so sweet!
i tied mine with the same kind of strip, twice(way easier) and we got our pictures taken by Jake.

then i sad goodbye to those little rascals and took saturday afternoon off....yessssssss.
i went to the mission.(my fav)

i brought a book and my ipod.





this is me in a little bell corner.
i stayed there for about an hour.
i had a strapless dress on.
i  was not naked at the mission.
(sorry reedo, i know you think that'd be awesome.)


see? that's my spot.
right where my purse was sitting.
i listened to Tim Janis.
it's dramatic instrumental music.



then i headed over to the old barn and saw some beauties.....
but no purchasing.
just looking and relaxing and dreaming...

pretty lovely, huh?


i had to link up with heather today since i have so much loveliness happening.
but tomorrow i will share the first two ladies in my mother's day series...so check back.

don't forget to click over and see heather.
and check out her blog design site...you will be so happy that you did.

  2. ummmmmm ya. heather pretty much inspires me and i wish i was half as good as she is. and your daughter's swimsuit kinda makes me want to have a girl even though i want all boys. and i agree, my thighs would look twice the size that they already are in it. andddddd i like your blog.

  19. the blog looks gorgeous Shauna. (of course) how do you feel about your decision to outsource the design? to pay money for this "play" of blogging? For me - putting money into my photography feels so scary!

    Also I would like to cast my vote with Reedo - always naked always.

    ps. I will be so miss being featured on your sidebar as one of your favorites. Some days I would just come by and look at it to help myself remember I'm loved.
