Although not the cheapest fall craft I did this year, I love how this turned out. Next time though, I’d make sure all 3 hurricane vases were narrow enough that the cats couldn’t paw out the corn kernels! I would have loved to add twine ribbon & a burlap table runner, but I know my cats too well to think I could get away with that.
Hurricane vases: $16
Peas/beans/corn kernels: $10
Candles: $18
Total for the 3-piece centerpiece: $44
This Sumatran tiger is one of the most impressive animals at the Kansas City Zoo – quite the opposite of yesterday’s photo.
After the Kansas City Zoo Run Saturday morning, several of us decided to walk around the zoo for a while. I highly recommend visiting in the fall – the animals are so much more active, and it’s less exhausting on you when it isn’t so hot, too! This adorable golden lion tamarin (my husband’s favorite zoo animal) must be thinking something great – can you come up with a good caption?
(Read my friend Julie’s blog post about the run here.)
I took photos of Brian & Jill yesterday evening, and I can’t wait to sort through, edit, and post a few more. They are such a fun, photogenic couple – especially when you throw in their sweet dog Charlie! Just wait ’till you see the photos we did for their Christmas card – hilarious!
After growing my hair out for about 2.5 years (or rather, not putting any effort into cutting it), I decided to donate 10 inches to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, which partners with the American Cancer Society to make real hair wigs for women with cancer. Here are the before and after photos – what do you think? I guess you can call it my new “mom” haircut.
I am by no means a sports photographer (as you can probably tell), but my husband coaches middle school football, so I thought I’d snap a few photos during the most recent game. I’m proud to say his team won 46-6. They played really well, so don’t pay attention to the fact that in this photo, no one seems to be anywhere near the ball.
Here is just one more photo of the sweet little kitten we met this weekend. He’s too cute not to post another.
Here’s another photo from the farm we visited this weekend. You can’t go wrong with a bonfire, s’mores, and beautiful country skies!
Check out yesterday’s photo if you missed it.
A friend’s farmland in Southeast Kansas.
We found these adorable kittens at a farm we visited this weekend. Doesn’t the one in the foreground have stunning eyes? More photos to come of the beautiful farmland!
