Portrait Innovations is Our "Go To" for Fabulous Pictures!

Our family recently had a photography sitting with  Portrait Innovations. I scheduled the appointment for a Sunday afternoon. This is typically a time when things are always relatively chill for us, the weekend is winding down and we are usually just hanging out around the house.

The last time we had pictures taken was in 2014! Then, Liam was 3 Logan was 6 and Connor was 14. I knew what I was getting myself into, and even then I was still not fully prepared for the crazy.
WE WERE LONG OVERDUE FOR FAMILY PORTRAITS.
As anyone trying to orchestrate a decent photography sitting experience with littles knows, it is nothing short of exhausting! Someone is always looking the wrong way. Someone else is mad because of who knows what! I'm constantly chasing someone, changing someone, or most commonly, threatening everyone! I always end up a sweaty, frizzy haired mess, not a good look for family pictures! Needless to say, due to the last debacle of an experience, I was in no hurry to get back into a studio. However, I do know how important it is to capture these all too quickly fleeting days of our family, as it is now. I had to get past the trauma of the last experience. After all, the boys are 6 and 10 now, but they are still boys, and never predictable, never EVER! 

I expected to wait. I was kind of setting myself up for disaster, after all boys do not wait well.  I'm not new at this, I had both of their tablets in hand!
WE ARRIVED 10 MINUTES EARLY, WHY? BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS EARLY!

Jessica quickly ushered us to a room that was already set-up with a Christmas backdrop and various holiday props.


I was super impressed with her from the start. Throughout the sitting, as she moved seating and adjusted backdrops, she was engaging the boys. She talked to them about things that are important to them. You know, things like YouTube and Minecraft. They would have stood on their heads if she had asked!


She worked in some silly shots like this one with Liam acting surprised and handing Santa a plate of cookies and milk.



Within 5 minutes of completing our sitting, she was ready to review our pictures with us.


As we went through the shots, I was shocked because there were SO many great pictures to choose from! 


It was unreal! 

We struggled to decide, but Jessica quickly reassured me that I would have all of the shots in high resolution on the CD that was included in our package.


What more could a mom ask!?

Jessica helped us narrow down our favorites and showed us different options. She was very patient, I can be very indecisive. I had her cropping and uncropping, sephia-ing and un-sepha-ing. Through it all, she was very cheerful and sweet.




Once we FINALLY decided, our portraits were printed and in our hands in about 15 minutes!




The experience from start to finish took about an hour. It took me longer to do my hair and get everyone ready!

I am over the moon that I have an amazing, fast, affordable, and easy place to go for great pictures anytime! 


I'm going to go to them for everything! No overpriced school pictures for us!

Awesome Frosted Roller Balls!

As my essential oils collection grows, I have been discovering that there is SO much more to learn!


I've been reading about creating roll on mixtures for anxiety, motion sickness, and SO much more! 

My 5 year old has terrible motion sickness issues! We have to keep bags in the van "just incase"! Yeah, it's THAT bad!


This two pack of frosted glass roll on bottles are perfect! They are compact - who has room for anything extra! The metal balls fit tight to prevent any leakage. If it is flipped upside down, the ball creates a seal - how great is that!? Since it's metal, there is no concern about the oils breaking down from those cheapy plastic roller balls!

Diffuser = Happy Mommy!

I have diffusers set up all over the house. I love the way the house smells when they are going. I truly notice a difference in my mood when they are filling the house will happy oils!

My diffuser in my bedroom was recently cleaned by someone and that someone broke it. It is one of the most important diffusers! I rely on the relaxing lavender oil to drift into happy sleepy time.


This cool mist aromatherapy diffuser has been amazing! I have had it for a few months and I love everything about it! I love the look of it. It is very "spa" looking to me.

I like that it holds nearly twice as much as any of my other diffusers! That means less fill time and more enjoying! The auto shut off feature prevents it from running out of water and burning up! It can be put on 1, 3, or 6 hours as well as continuous use.

I love the mood LED light! It is intoxicating at night! The colors fade in from one to the next. I leave it on all the time and find myself staring at it lost in my thoughts. It is really relaxing!

Gettin' My Family Pictures Under Control!

I have a bad habit of downloading pictures on various computers. Later when I try to find something, I never know which computer to go to. It makes everything take longer and causes me to get really frustrated. I created the insanity and that makes me really crazy! 

I needed to get things under control! 

I ordered this card to transfer our pictures from multiple computers onto one main desktop computer. My end game it to get it all backed up to jump drives based on the year. That is a far off unattainable dream!


I am currently running Windows 10 and had no problems with the installation. It blends well with the overall computer. It runs really fast!

It seems well made. The caps and components are great quality.

Overall, this is a great card with a price that won't hurt your wallet!

Awesome Cat Hat!




 

This cat hat has really entertained our family. 


What makes it SO funny is that our cat doesn't even mind it! He sits and lets us put it on him. He walks around with it on. He even goes to sleep with it on!

It is hilarious! 

Once he is sick of it, he just pulls it off with his paw.

Get your Kiddos a 3D Wall Light!


I am beyond excited about this 3D light! 



I had such a hard time deciding which one to get! 

There are so many to choose from - really something for anyone! 


Little kids will love the Paw Patrol. Each of the pups are available, so your kiddo will be able to get their favorite! How adorable is Rocky? 



Older kids will love the Ninja Turtles. All four of the guys are available, Leo is my favorite!




The big kids, you know like middle schoolers and even dad will love the Star Wars lights.  I really like the way the light saber looks like someone is holding it and busting through the wall. 


Have a super hero fan at home? They have TONS of different options. I think Iron Man reaching through the wall is really cool.



Have a sports fan? They will love the light up baseballs, basketball, soccer ball, hockey puck or football!

There really is something for everyone!


Wanna know which one I picked for my boys?

I can't wait to see their faces when they see the Death Star busting through the wall in their room! 

Check out the video! See whats in the box and how it looks hanging in their room!


Check them all out on Target.com.

Adorable Wind up Music Box!

My mom and I were recently talking about how we each had wind up music boxes as kids. She had misplaced hers somewhere along the way. I could tell that it had brought back some great memories.

I decided to find one for her for her Christmas stocking. 

This is absolutely adorable! 

It is extremely well made and very solid. It is much nicer than I had expected. 

The sound is perfect. You can see all of the mechanics inside.

This music box makes a great gift for a little girl, one she will remember for years!

Huge Variety Pack of Foam Sponges!

US Art Supply has an outstanding line of art supplies. I have gotten brushes, pencils and canvases from them. The quality has never disappointed me. The price never hurts my wallet!

This pack of 20 foam sponge brushes is great for different applications. This value pack is sure to have the size I need for the job! There are ten 1" brushes, six 2" brushes, two 3" brushes, and two 4" brushes.  

The foam works great and absorbs the paint well without dripping. The tips are pointed and perfect for getting into tight places.

The wood handles are lightweight and easy to hold.

I have used these and washed them and reused them. They have held up really well.
