I've Been Keeping A Secret

For the past few months I've been working on a very important project...

The project will probably turn out a little something like this...

Yep, our wild family of three is growing!!

I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant.  Our due date is January 1st, 2012.  And I couldn't be happier.

Photography by Jylare Photography.  Ya'll know her - she's been a sponsor here on my blog!  She came to the Grand Del Mar in San Diego on Friday to take a family photo (of all 28 of us) and was sweet enough to snap these for me too!  I can definitely tell you now that Jylare rocks!

Made In The South Awards

My friend Haskell (an editor at Garden & Gun) recently told me about this great contest going on and I had to share with you all.  Garden & Gun magazine is in the midst of the 2nd year of their annual contest Made in the South.  Do you make a fashion, home, food, or sporting product here in the South?  Now's your chance to take it to the next level. Last year's Style winner, Gabrielle of Gabrielle Jewelry, casts the most gorgeous lace jewels by integrating traditional clothing adornments into modern pieces of jewelry.  In other words, she preserves the original design by replacing it with metal.

And I know that some of you have wild talents too.  The winners (along with several honorable mentions) of each category will be published in Garden & Gun's December/January 2012 issue.  Each winner will also receive a $500 cash prize along with a chance to be a part of the Made in the South Awards online boutique at Taigan.  So go enter!  It's a really simple entry process and you have until August 1st to do it.

Good luck!

Home Sweet Home

Did you even know I was gone?  We got home last night from a wonderful week long family vacation in San Diego.  I feel like all I did was eat (because that is pretty much what I did!).  So unfortunately I won't be celebrating National Ice Cream Day today, but you totally should!!

Happy eating. 



Like I've Said Before
