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

If you haven't heard of Totally Rad Action , boy are you missing out! I can't live without it nor can my photos. I am giving away to a lucky reader a $300 worth of Totally Rad Actions!!! Look at what you can do to your images! 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'

I stumble across Kyle's home while browsing DecoMyPlace and fell in love with her sophisticated home style. Kyle has a cute blog over at Knight Moves Blog She blog about interior and home decor. Trust me, she got a lot of photos that is so inspiring! via decomyplace : knightmovesblog Looking through these photos is making me wanting to go do some spring cleaning :) Have a great weekend everyone! btw thanks Page Thirteen for featuring our home this week and Spearmint Baby for featuring Kaylee's nursery !

After my parents flew out, it was just a mundane day until the UPS came knocking at the door. Kaylee and I saw a big blue box with white ribbon and we knew right away it was from Tiffany and Company..ok maybe not Kaylee but I sure do;) Thank you Auntie Myly and Uncle Jack! 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! Just want to show a lil before and after pix of Kaylee, the miracle of photoshop! Should I start doing a tutorial? Let me know if anyone interested! Happy Wednesday my friend!

I have always appreciated everything my parents have done for me, putting me through college and guided me to the right direction but now being a parent myself, I appreciate them even more! Words cant really describe how truly amazing my parents are. My parents were in town for two weeks visiting and now that they left, the house is so quiet without them, my chihuahua was running around yesterday looking for my mom..poor dog The weather has been cold and cloudy lately but we did manage to take them to the beach when it was nice and sunny for one day. It was baby Kaylee first time at the beach too! Have a wonderful Tuesday my friend! off to take care of baby Kaylee :)
