Puppy Cake Smash

So Parker turned one over the weekend and I wanted to do something special for his first birthday pictures. First things first:  I needed a puppy-friendly cake.  I’m not a baker, but this recipe I found online was super easy and Parker absolutely loved it!

The Guilty Hyena - Hey up Maddy, ditto it has been a while, glad to hear from you hun! hope all is well at your end :) Now this actually reminds me of seeing a dog, that looked just like Parker a month ago, but have just realized Parker has grown a little, he’s after-all 1 now.

The stool looks fine btw very retro – I like it, but so too am I liking that cake! I mean I never knew you could bake cakes such as these for dogs..how adorable! The ingredients for the homemade cake is pretty healthy than what I would usually eat that is store baked!

Confidence

Confidence is a funny thing. It’s an elusive feeling, one which we’ve all felt we could use more of at one point or another. But when you’ve got it, you feel like you can do anything.  I may not be as pretty as my model Amanda. And heaven knows I could never squeeze into those insanely […]

Camila Faria - I think you’re just as beautiful as your gorgeous model Maddy. Maybe prettier (because I know your heart is beautiful too). : )

elle sees - confidence is my ultimate goal. there are lots of things i’m confident at, like taking care of kids or my beauty knowledge, but me? I’ll admit I’m smart, but beautiful or loving my body? Nah.

Creativity is Contagious. Pass it On.

Going back to the 29 Ways to Stay Creative post, one of the things I’ve found extremely helpful has been #11 on the list: surround yourself with creative people. Albert Einstein wasn’t kidding when he said “Creativity is contagious.” I finally installed the Feeddler app and it’s been a godsend!  Now instead of struggling to […]

Amy - So true! And love the earrings. I do wish I could wear green; but I’m so pasty white that anything green near my face reflects, making me look as though I’ve been sailing amid rough seas. :S

March 12, 2013 - 8:10 am

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - Lol! Really? I would think green would be your color, especially since you have a bit of the reddish tone to your hair.

March 12, 2013 - 9:20 am

Elena - I love these photos! I have a thing for books too! Seriously, I just love looking at them. I always say I’m going to photograph some and I never get the chance! Love the way these books are all neutrals! They look fantastic with the vivid green earrings!
