A Pez Collector

Ford is a collector of Pez. He adores Pez Dispensers and spends his time dreaming up what kind of dispensers the Pez company should make next. He spends a lot of his time organizing his collection. Most days he sets out his collection at least once, changing up how he sorts them..sometimes by movie, sometimes by color, sometimes by good and evil, etc. Here are some of my favorite photos of Ford's Pez displays.

Picturing the Twins

One of the girls in one of the cities is pregnant with twins! Congratulations Jacqueline. It was fun to spend a bit of time this weekend shooting Maternity pics of Jacqueline and Abe. They are giddy with excitement over becoming parents.

We are looking so forward to meeting Sawyer and Sutton shortly!

It's Finally Fall!!

Fall is my favorite time of year and October is my favorite month. I should apologize in advance for the abundance of blog posts I will do this month since I get way too excited about fall activities. The kids and I have spent the week decorating and making Halloween crafts getting ready for our annual trip to Yahoo Farms in Jasper, GA. We made Pumpkin necklaces for the whole crew which I will cover in another post. The day we go to Yahoo Farms every year is seriously one of the highlights of my year. I love this place. It is such a throwback to simple times and the perfect speed for my little ones.

They always enjoy the pumpkin wagon ride.

And this year, Ford even enjoyed the pony rides!

We ventured through the big corn maze for the first time this year and the kids loved every second of it. It was the highlight of the day for them and I loved the light filtering through all the giant stalks.

Of course, there are pumpkins galore or every size, shape, and color and I can never take enough photos of that vibrant orange hue.

We spent the weekend at the cabin in Ellijay where Ford wore his Halloween Costume most of the weekend. Here is the super hero hard at work making s'mores.

On Sunday, we ventured to BJ Reece Apple Orchards where we picked apples, shot apples out of cannons, walked long paths, and went on a hayride.

It was the perfect fall weekend with 60 degree weather. I wished we could live in this month all year long!

Zig Zag Crazed

I lost a whole night of sleep over the Missoni launch for Target. I've been counting the days until the shelves were to be stocked with zig zag designs. I found most of the items, over 400 in the collection, online beforehand and had mapped out a plan of what I coveted most. I saved my money all month so my budget could handle a mini Missoni spree. I logged on at midnight to shop online but nothing was posted yet. From there, I set my alarm every couple of hours to try again. Finally, at 6:30am, I logged on and was able to get the items I wanted the very most, matching shoes for me and my girl and a tower of espresso cups with matching plates.

By 7am, Target's website was shut down for most of the day. By the time it came up again later in the day, most of the Missoni line was sold out.

After a night of no sleep, I woke my kids up and made them stand in line at Target with me until the stores opened at 8.


There were so many things I liked from viewing them online but I wanted to see them in person. The lines were starting to form when we arrived. When the doors opened, most people went for the clothing and shoes first and the great pieces were gone in seconds. I was able to get the things I loved most from the kitchen section.


It was a crazed frenzy and all the Target employees were stunned at the turnout saying they had never been so busy on a random Tuesday.

What a great line Missoni turned out with their iconic designs and colors and affordable for the masses. This is the only time in my life I will be checking out with Missoni shoe boxes!
