Tutus and Hair Pretties

I have found my new creative outlet....and it definitely isn't one I would have guessed. I have fallen in love with making tutus and hair bows/headbands. I always tried to pick up cute headbands on the rare occasion I found one here in good ol ND. Other than odering off of etsy.com, options here are pretty limited. I made the two tutus for Lara's 6 month pictures and really enjoyed it. Then I decided to take matters into my own hands on the cute headband front and taught myself how to make those as well.


Luckily for me, in showing off Kayla's awesome work on Lara's pictures, I got my first request to make a tutu with a matching headband. Here is how it turned out...can't lie I'm pretty proud of it...



I also made Larue a cute Valentines headband... Lack of cute hair accessories for my little girl....solved.


Two more requests for tutu's today....the birth of a mini business perhaps? I wouldn't be upset...Lara can only wear so many tutus....

Floor Seats to the Wizards

We took Larue to her first Wizards game this past Tuesday. This being her first game, we decided to do so in style with floor seats, litterally on the Wizards' bench....cus we are pretty big time like that. Lara LOVED it....and even managed to snag a nap amidst all the chaos. She got all kinds of attention from the coach and players after the game and was dubbed the team's lucky charm.... invited back whenever we want.

Our baby is a super model....

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I had the day off from work. SO... Lara and I headed over to Kayla's studio for a 6 month photo session. Here are some of the highlights...


Our child is the best little model. We are very very lucky. She let us play around with photos and outfit changes for an hour and a half before she had finally had enough. Baby Gap model??
