Spring casual… .OMG, edited to add…Fall casual??
The beauty of Seattle is that fall trends and spring trends sometimes can look the same! The trees are a lot greener here in these images than now in fall, but…whatever.
Can we just pretend?
I’m tired of only having special occasions on here! SOOO…this was back in spring when we took pics for fun.
Variations of this look on repeat!
🤷🏼♀️
Jeans + Fun tee + Cardigan for when the weather inevitably changes 87 times during the day.
👌🏻
This past Saturday, we went to the gym, went swimming, hit a local thrift store, and the Huz grilled dinner. 🙌🏻
All in all, my perfect Saturday 🙂 . AND…the same, spring, summer, fall, and winter!

Maya actually hopped behind the camera while it was on the tripod and snapped these first ones!
Aiming to post ALL THE POSTS while I have a break in my work schedule!
I had to lure her from behind the camera!!
THIS is why I do this blog!!!
To show her these images…
When all she wants to remember is me yelling at her, I need proof of the fact that most of the time, we had fun and loved on each other.
One of the MANY things I love, is that she still always reaches for my hand. I’m sure the years are limited for that happening, but I will treasure it for as long as I can!!
She also still happily sits on my lap 🙂
Pretty much and every day occurence. NOT on my lap on the sidewalk!! But us laughing together, and it’s my favorite part of my day.
On me…
This is the quickest, easiest hair do to do in a pinch. With the elaborate neckline of this dress, I didn’t really want to wear my hair down. However, I decided on this dress so last minute that I had to do a quick hair adjustment! I threw one of the flowers from the bouquet we brought, and called it good!
Seriously, one of my new favorite images I’ve taken of us!!!
Dying…
I LOVE the way it looks like she’s playing with the light in these next ones!
And then looking up at it??? All coincidence haha, but I love it!
I didn’t bring my real camera with me to the event, so the pics I took aren’t the greatest with my phone.
Here’s our little table spread and food. Yes, that’s for two of us hahaha.
They had a photo booth that did GIFS! SO FUN!
So cute though, right?
Oh, and while I have the tripod set up….can you take a few of me, since the remote still isn’t working?
My face is like “You’re ok still snapping, right??”
We started off the night going to the 
Next, we went to the 
On me…
So…it’s probably obvious that I didn’t have time to do my hair. Nor my make up.
I’ll at least attempt to be put together…
As per usual, I’m more about the back being fun!
Maya had an art direction of how she wanted us to pose.
It took me a few times to figure it out 🙂
When all else fails…
Then… the couple of the hour! I mean, day.
10 Years married, and I’m SO happy I still look at him this way.
My remote wasn’t working, so we had Maya stand behind the tripod and snap away.
LOVE!
These two…
I brought this “jacket” that I recently thrifted and cut. I’ve been wanting a cropped army jacket for a while. I saw this one thrifting a few weeks ago during a 50% off sale, and decided to buy it and chop it!
It normally would have come down past the pockets of my jeans.
LOVE HER!!
We walked to 
OBSESSED with the back of the dress!!
What I wasn’t expecting….how revealing it would be on the side-WHOOPS!!
THANK GOD there were to wardrobe malfunctions!!
LOVE!
Her Fingerling that she recently thrifted for $2, that she couldn’t NOT have with her… Remember when these were ALL THE RAGE and you couldn’t buy one for Christmas except on ebay for $100?!! Yeah, she didn’t get one that year, and has wanted one ever since…
Funny thing…My remote broke again, so we did these all with a 10 second timer. SO…not as
Yup, almost a wardrobe malfunction, and we weren’t even doing anything!!
If there is a cat or dog near…Maya will not pay any attention to me.
I love these jeans! I recently scored them off eBay for $7.50!!! And this cute vintage bag is another recent Goodwill score for $6.50!
Maya when I came out wearing this…
I had been using this scarf tied around our focusing stand, but then had the brilliant idea of tying it to my bag-LOVE IT!!
Maya wanted to wear her hair down, and she looks SO grown up to me!
Looooooove all these next ones!!
Me…constantly smothering her. Her….kiiiiiinda putting up with it 🙂
Maya said I should wear these “Birthday Babe” sunglasses that she found at a thriftstore. The only problem is that I forgot that the camera is looking at you backwards from what you are doing. We were attempting to show that I turned 45 but it came out 54?!?
I can resist matching shoes!!
Maya saw her picture on the back of the camera, and said “From far away, I look like you!”
Nailed that pose!
And….my scarf tied as the focusing point.
Good grief. I don’t even remember what I was laughing about!
And, what the HECK??!!!
I can only hope that she will come to more events with me, because we had the best time! And…it carried through the entire day!
Here are the floral crowns we made, And by we….I mean, I made them, while Maya walked around and schmoozed with the guests. But….let’s be honest. That was fine by me. We were both in our happy place!
I borrowed this image from 
And this next one from 
I’m wearing a bun at least 50% of them time. I wish I had time to do my hair, but honestly, most days…I don’t. SO….I’m trying to find fun ways to accessorize the bun-haha! I’ve tried the head scarf, but can’t quite get it to look good, so…scarf around the bun it is!
Lately…when I have time to run out and take pics, it’s almost Maya’s bedtime, so…
Gotta love my neighbors walking by…
Yeah, and usually one comes up behind me walking their dog!
This fringe and stud detailing…LOVE!!!
Always obsessed with our matching clogs from 
Her face!!
Then 5 minutes later the sun was gone and it started to rain…
And, without fail…my cheap timer goes off when I don’t want it to. BUT…it’s cheap, and…it’s
Sometimes (ok, everyday) I just want to eat her UP!!!
Maya got this frisbee at the YMCA “Healthy Kids Day”, and we finally went out and practiced.
