The 6 weeks that I got to stay home and spend time with Kaylee was so precious. The bonding between mother and child is very surreal and the special feeling that there's nothing more important them this precious life that you are holding in your arms. Now that I am back at work, I'm glad that Lee is spending more time with her during the day, enjoying and breathing in fatherhood. The 6 weeks staying home, I had my hair up everyday, no makeup, in sweats all day long and probably spilled milk everywhere on my body, so it was nice to put down my hair, put on the necklace that I made, and wore a dress today for work. Happy Tuesday! Hope you are having a good start of the week. It is 80 degrees where I am at right now:) Dont forget to enter for the Totally Rad Giveaway for Photoshop lovers!

Since Easter is just around the corner, wouldn't this little diy project be fun to do for your someone special. I found it on Poppytalk blog and just had to share since it's so darn cute! Happy Monday! Today is my first day back to work and first time leaving Kaylee :( surprisingly it's not so bad since she's in good hand with Hubby during the day.

Have a wonderful weekend from our furry babies, Jet Lee and Coco Lee (we have another chihuahua but he was sleeping during the shoot )

So it's Friday!! and honestly for once I'm actually not excited that it's going to be the weekend/the reason is because starting Monday I would have to leave Baby Kaylee and go back to work..back to my 7-4 shift at the office. I am excited to see all my sweet coworkers and have an actual conversation with an adult rather then do baby talk all day but it's going to so tough to leave her. 6 Weeks of maternity leave is not long enough, I need to figure out how to get rich fast so I can be a stay at home mom :D Here is Kaylee week 6 photos! indeed she is growing fast. So lately I have been getting interested in jewelry making, I been wanting to buy a heart Swarovski necklaces that I have been eyeing everywhere on blogs and etsy..so I thought, why not make one..or two! The bonding between a father and his child is priceless and precious to me. As Lee was playing with Kaylee, I had to capture the moment of them together. My favorite part is at min 1:23 when

Images courtesy of Totally Rad Here is a tutorial I did on my photos using the actions: note: it will not work with photoshop elements You need to place your new actions in action preset in your photoshop folder. To install your action, click here to figure out how. After you did all of that, go to window and open up your actions if it's not already showing. Although Kaylee already has nice baby skin, I still like to do a little skin retouch on her face by using the Pro Retouch. After done touching up on the face, I like to add some light around her face and body. You can click on the Yin/Yang actions for this. After brighten up the picture, I like to add Lux actions to give that soft vintage look. That'

What a lucky girl, she has been spoiled by so many of our close friends and family! I tried taking a picture of Kaylee with the box but she was too sleepy lol Kaylee is already at Week 5!
