I took this picture back in December 2009, during the World March for Peace in San Francisco. You can view the rest of the images from that day here. I posted it today, because this was chosen as a contest winner. It was also one of my favorite images of the day.

Bed Heads are Adorable

July 24, 2010

I confess, I have a thing for baby bed heads. Those make my son 10 times cuter.

Today my little guy is 11 months old. I can’t believe we are only a month away from his first birthday… WOW!

Speaking of which, now that I have sent them out and this post won’t spoil it for my guests, here are the birthday party invites.

I loved the stamps my husband ordered. Medium size works great on 4″x5.5″ envelopes – image is 1.1″x1.4″.

This party planning time is SO exciting. You would think that being almost ONE, my son is now sleeping through the night – and that I have all the time in the world to be crafty and creative. WRONG! He is most definitely NOT, thus I am one tired (wait, scratch that and put exhausted) mama. But I am still excited to lose those few hours of sleep over orange and blue paper pom poms and other decorations I’m making. The other day I uploaded an iPhone picture on my FB profile (by the way, I love the Hipstamatic app), the picture of a sewing machine. Wow, who would ever thought I’d be going to Target to get a Singer?! This first birthday party planning is making me do crazy things. Yes, you can call me Martha.

Of course, I’ll be sharing all the details… in time… I don’t want to spoil anything for my guests.

When did my baby grow from a tiny newborn to an ‘almost a toddler’? He is growing amazingly fast and here I am, trying to get everything together for his first birthday party. Our trip to Europe for 3 weeks threw me a little off the schedule (so, not only am I staying awake at night to catch up on work, but also to plan this exciting event). Anyway, I’m almost done.

The invites came in yesterday and we are waiting on the personalized stamps so that the envelopes can finally go out! [the ticker says there are only 35 days left until my son's birthday]

The party will be small. Our families cannot join us this time. After all, we just went over there so they are probably saving the trip and coming over in a few months.

I’m so excited about the cake from Studio Cake. It will be amazing! And of course, picture perfect!

The food will be delicious. More details to come.

I’ll show and tell more about the party as I start putting everything together, I promise :)

Simple.

A year ago…

May 17, 2010

I was pregnant. We were in Kaua’i, Hawaii.

So, a year has gone by and I have barely even edited a few pictures from that trip. Well, I did take a TON, but still… Here and here you can see something I shared last year.

I took these when I went to the zoo with my son on Saturday. Yes, I go to the zoo to photograph tiny, insignificant, flowers. And I didn’t get a single animal shot {it’s a long story that includes a fussy 8.5 months old}.
