Slenderella

Hot chocolate fun with JK and J.

When you wake up in the morning with angel hair and cute Halloween pajamas photoshoots are inevitable.

Sitting on the pumpkin was entirely her idea.

This was actually the first picture I took.
"Beware, my mama is crazy."

When Josh and I first began to consider living on campus I immediately thought of two people. Lindsay and Robyn.

Lindsay is an amazing cook, who rocked intense recipes Iron Chef style in a tiny apartment kitchen. My mantra was, "If Lindsay can do it, I can do it." I've been cooking from her kitchen blog for the past week, and my family is thrilled.

Robyn is that girl who could go to the dollar store and find a Tiffany lamp. She took a one bedroom apartment and made it cozy, chic, and comfortable. When she and Matt moved into their work-in-progress home I had no doubt that it would be the envy of every Bluebell loving Houston-ite who saw it. The past few times Josh and I visited them I admired the adorably shabby chic cookbook, Slenderella.

On Friday a mysterious package arrived from Brenham, Texas. I could not imagine what might be inside.

You guessed it.

With a sweet card that reinforced every wish that the Farmers lived closer, she sent me this perfect little book. It sits in a place of honor in my kitchen.

Although, if she's sending things I ogle in her home I'm expecting Ms. Arabelle any day now.

A cool Saturday morning

Comfy girl

After her bath I blowdry Ava's clothes to warm them before dressing her and rub her with lotion in front of the little heater. No goosebumps for the princess.

Josh spent Sunday afternoon/evening at the law school.
It was cold and wet outside, so Ava and I had to be creative.
