.3 bellies.

Had an amazing time with these three lovelies! They are sister in laws and all with baby at the same time, how awesome is that!? Those cousins are going to be so close, and have so much fun growing up together! I love these ladies, and had so much fun scouting downtown for a bit. I wanted it to be a girls day out fun shoot, laid back fun. And that is exactly what it was. We laughed, chatted and then had coffee. It was a wonderful afternoon! Love you ladies, cannot wait to meet those bundles of love!!

.local love. [country organics]

Today is yet another edition of my local loves. I love being able to share with others wonderful local things that I believe in, there are really so many amazing little shops and products in our amazing city.

So, today I am featuring Country Organics. The owners Bob and Mandy are friends of ours, Bob and I go way back to our days of working together at Raley’s…..or should I say YEARS of working together there. He was the “produce guy”, and still is just in his own amazing store. Country Organics DELIVERS local organic produce to your DOORSTEP each week. Talk about amazing! They also now have a store front so rather than having a delivery you can go in pick and choose each item AND pick up other organic items from their shelves. I do not know how many times i am out of ONE item, and they seem to have everything right there…it is convenience at it’s best. They carry local Hat Creek beef at an incredible price, it is something that always makes it into my basket. I really cannot say enough great things about this small but rather AMazing business! You MUST go in! Great service, and products! You can get all the info HERE.

OH, and just in case you are wondering. I happen to love this place i call Redding, so i bring you all these local loves ALL on my own. I am a firm believer in sharing the great things i find to others so you too can enjoy amazing things…so NO i am not getting paid in any form to do these. :)

[spring mini sesh]

Yes, spring is HERE! Even though it does not feel so warm out yet.  But warm weather is coming! In celebration of this season starting I am offering a one day mini session! Yeah!

[week one]

Well, I am a bit behind in posting this…but, the key thing is that I had it done! I will be posting from time to time this just personal project that I decided to take on. I want to take an image a week for the year, things that are real that capture things I want to remember about our weeks as a family. And truly, I am not only having so much fun doing them I am getting much more than one image a week! I love the idea of remembering all the little things throughout the year.

SO, here is the first of more to come. Our kids are all in school this year, so if my husband and I both have down time we get to actually hang out….in quiet! So, we splurged a bit and went to lunch. At one of our fav places in town, damburger! My great grandpa was friends with the owners for many years, and was well known there…and now, my grandpa is also a regular. SO, it is easy to say it is not only a family favorite, but a tradition :) If you have not been to damburger, it is a must….good good food, and old fashioned service! love that.
