Although baby “M” was a tiny bit fussy when I got to visit her, we were able to capture some very sweet moments!

Enjoy looking at a couple from our session!!!

Lovin’ the pinks and purples in this one!!  She looks sooo cozy!!!

Daddy calming her!

And a sweet smile!

I was inspired to this project from a fellow photographer that I met online!  Her work ROCKS, so go check it out!  Lindsey Q Photography

Jessica, another wonderful photographer, check her work out here:  Live the Moment Photography and I discussed documenting her pregnancy they way Lindsey has done!

We are off to an AWESOME start!

24weeks along and Jess looks fantastic!

See you in 4 weeks Jess!!  I have to say that I can’t wait to see this project come together-thanks for being a wonderful model!!!

I have to admit, canning is not my #1 favorite thing to do…but homemade Salsa is amazing!
Today I have included a recipe and some pictures from the day…I know that pictures say a thousand words, so maybe my pictures will help you enjoy a tasty homemade snack!

The first thing you need to do is remove the skin from fresh tomatoes.  I do this by placing an ‘x’ on the bottom of them and placing them in boiling water for a couple minutes.  This is what will happen:

This is a SINGLE recipe (note the time):

Half way (could not resist)

This is a DOUBLE batch…I had two pans simmering all afternoon..then I joined them together for about the last hour. It boils down to about half!! This picture is shortly before I actually placed it in cans.
You must be careful not to burn it at any time. If you feel it ‘sticking’ to the pan pour it into a new pot-seriously not worth the risk..It really ties you down for the afternoon…but I did make some raspberry jam in between and do some cleaning etc. Just remember to STIR STIR STIR

YUMM-O (yup, this is it 2 BIG bottles and a regular bottle…from a days work!)

While the video crew was here they offered to shoot a couple family pictures for us!  I was thrilled since I’m rarely on the other side of the lens with my boys!

Here are a couple:
