My Maternity Photo Shoot

I believe I mentioned in a previous post that my BFF, Jennifer, of Jennifer Nicole Photography, had taken my maternity pictures for me.  We held the shoot in my backyard and it was while Jennifer wasn't feeling well.  She was beyond amazing and kept the appointment despite the fact that she had every reason in the world to cancel.

I love and appreciate her more than she knows and feel wholeheartedly that the best is yet to come for her; both professionally and personally.....because she deserves every bit of it.

I hope you like the pictures, because I sure do!  I'm absolutely IN LOVE with the heart picture and the one of my little guy kissing my belly.  Those will definitely be framed soon!

Thank you Jennifer!

Valentine's Day Craft: Lace Framed Picture

I was looking for a cute Valentine's Day gift that I can make myself.  Money will definitely be tight very soon.  I'm having Baby #2 this Friday and all gifts will virtually become non-existent come January 21st.

I know that my best friend, Jennifer, will be the official baby photographer when the baby comes and she did mention doing a Valentine's Day picture using an adorable prop she found on etsy, so I found it only appropriate to look for a cute picture frame craft to do for Valentine's Day for The Husband.  Normally, we don't do gifts.  I think it's a silly made up Hallmark holiday, however, he's been nothing but amazing throughout this pregnancy and is a pretty incredible Dad, so I think a sweet picture of the new little man will be a sweet gift to give him to let him know I appreciate him and to let him know I love the way he loves our family.

The craft is this very pretty picture frame with lace accent to liven the baby picture inside.  It's a Martha Stewart Craft and the very easy instructions can be found here:





To add a Valentine's Day touch, you can take a picture of your kids wearing either this for little boys:

There are a million adorable options for little girls, of course!  That's my gripe about having boys.  Girl things are always so much cuter, so naturally, pettiskirts and hats are also a very cute option for this Valentine's Day idea.  These two are just too cute!

Hope you all have a great time crafting for your loves on this Valentine's Day.....and if you decide to have a little photo shoot with your kids, I'd LOVE to see the results!
