just the girls [a photo shoot]

i never thought i'd be a mom of girls, to be honest with you... 
for some reason, i just pictured myself having all boys. 
longing and wishing for that girl? absolutely. but just never actually having one. 
well i was wrong. obviously. and i'm so glad... i'm sure boys would be wonderful, 
but that would mean i wouldn't have these two beauties:


melissa always sends me the photos just a few hours after she takes them. 
honestly, i just looked through them and stared. and then cried. 
and then just could not believe these were my babies.
 sometimes it's hard, during the daily grind and busy-ness of life to really see what we've been given. 
photos like this, that are so gorgeous you can't look away, really put it all into perspective. 
this is where i want to be. always.

i don't love jumping into the shoots, but i do it anyway. because melissa always convinces me to, and because i know i'll beat myself up in ten years if i didn't have any photos with them... 
no matter how many pounds i think i still need to lose!




as always, the photos are c/o my cousin-in-law Melissa Sniff. check her out here and here, especially if you're in san diego area. you need updated family photos for your christmas cards, right?? she's your gal :)

on being crunchy

i mentioned it last week , that you could call me "crunchy". not in every single area, but there are a lot of things i do [and don't do] that would classify me as such... although for the record, i hate that term . i'd call it "natural" instead. i usually don't talk about this facet of my life because i feel like it's kind of weird, and also i just like to do what i do and not pressure anyone else to do the same. if someone asks, i'm more than excited to talk about it but i rarely bring it up. i buy organic. if it's available organic, i'll buy it. however, i don't buy organic meat, even though i'd tell you that's one of the most important things. i just can't afford it right now. but, overall, if they sell it organic, i buy it organic. i read labels.  some of the things i avoid are: - high fructose corn syrup [mostly because it is made with GMO corn ] - MSG [confusing, because they can call it anything they want on ...
