10 things about me. I have gotten into 2 car accidents, got sued on both of them but didnt follow through because they were being greedy and lied about having back aches. Growing up, I hated the shape of my eyes because people would always make fun of how small it is. Felt really inseure and I would wear a lot of eye makeup to hide it, but now I use makeup to enhance and embrace it. I didn't smile with teeth until my early 20s because I thought I look awkward and cheesy when I smile with teeth :D I have always had long hair, but last year I wanted something different. I told my friend to cut it shorter then normal but she went a little cutting happy and chopped off 10 inches of my hair! I cried and was depressed because I hated it. 6 months straight, I had my hair up in a pony tail and had to buy hair extensions. I was born in Vietnam and our family moved to cold South Dakota when I was 9. I am currently in Virginia with my husband, baby and 3 dogs. I am not af

Parenthood

When I was pregnant with Kaylee, others had told me that my life is going to change completely and yes indeed it has. I no longer eat unhealthy food, yearn for material things, go see a movie together with my husband. My body will never be the same size as before and I can no longer sit around being lazy. It's a change that I choose to make, my lifestyle, my priorities have changed..heck even our bank account has too! But the huge difference then and now is that our lives is now filled with more love, more laughter, more meanings to life. Her laughter, her smile just melts our heart. I strive for more so that I can be a roll model for my child, someone she can look up to, someone she can hold deeply in her heart. I do things that I never thought I would do before (such as making all these headband she is sporting) My interest in photography, crafting, life, healthy living grew because of our sweet baby girl. Will be making many more headbands for her! I'm sure if

::Summer Love::

It's going to be a hot summer, I can feel it! Weather has been in the 90s lately. I bought all these lemons for Kaylee's photoshoot but since we have to reschedule the shoot because of the rain, I love adding them in sweet tea.  Oh I guess sweet tea is a east coast and southern thing because I never drink it when I was living in South Dakota. People just don't order a sweet tea when they go out to eat, they order a pop (soda) I love that strawberries are so cheap in the summer! I don't like to eat them alone, I either dip it in with a lil salt or I like to spread Nutella on them :) I love having fresh flowers at home. So mint leaves grow like weeds! Our neighbor planted these for us in front of the house last Spring and they keep on growing. We now have unlimited supplies of mint leaves! I love adding the mint leaves in spring rolls! Can't have summer without fun nail colors with cute sandals. (these are Madden Girl sandals) Sunglasses are must have for

To the fair we go

I just love atmosphere of the fair, kids laughter, smell of yummy funnel cake, and all the bright beautiful colors! We had such great time at the fair even though Kaylee was asleep most of the time. Due to rain and thunderstorm, we had to reschedule Kaylee's 3rd month photoshoot till next week, so look out for them! DCPG always do such a great job! Have a great Monday lovelies!

No hubby Needed!

To take photos of my outfit that is..but I still need his help with laundry, dishes, cleaning etc :D...I just got myself a tripod and I'm loving it. Hubby is pretty good with taking my photos but he is usually not thrilled about it. Plus I can do whole bunch of weird poses with a tripod and not get the "my wife is weird" look on his face. 1.2.3 testing testing..yup it's working a long with my awesome remote control! Kaylee and I are going to have so much fun doing photoshoot together!! My outfit for today, HM dress along with Loft cardigan. This weekend, we are doing a photoshoot with Kaylee's newborn photographer } DCPG ! I am super excited since were doing a fruit theme. It's going to be CO LO RF UL shoot! You'll see why next week!
