New Website Coming Soon!

We are finally coming close to taking our new website live!! This is something that has literally taken me 2 years to complete! At first, I didn't know what kind of look I was going after and as soon as I would pick something, I would change my mind! I even went as far as completely changing the business name! Scratched that real quick! I also didn't want to pay an arm and a leg just for website! Seriously, some quotes I got were for over $5,000! Come on! So I was determined to learn how to design this bad boy by myself! After countless hours upon hours of researching and playing with this thing, I have figured out how to design a website!

I can't wait to show you guys the new design and look Brooklyns is going for! Along with the new website came a new logo as well as colors! Can't wait to show you guys! This is will be the new site for our blog as well as our website! Wait, one place for everything?! YES! Be on the lookout as it goes live within the next week or so! Here is a little sneak peak at what's to come..

Let me know what you guys think or if you have any ideas/suggestions!

Painting, Planting and Playing!

What a weekend! We spent most of the weekend working on the house and the yard and had enough time to school Brian in a little pick up of game of basketball :) Seriously, we have to lower the hoop to 7 feet so he can pretend to be some hotshot. This girl doesn't fall for it. Either do our neighbors! Once I made him realize we were nobody's and just wanted to shoot around, we raised the hoop so I could sink all of my three's on him :) bahahaha..I loved it!

Did you all check out the KU game on Saturday night? Gee whiz..what a nail bighter! (If I had nails, pretty sure I would've bitten them off) My sister and Collin were of course down in Lawrence for the game and this was Mass St. shortly afterwards:

Mass St. is basically downtown where all the bars and restaurants are. Pretty much looks the same as when they won it back in '08.

Sunday we started a project that I'm super excited about! We painted our black door red! I forgot to take before pictures though so you'll have to picture a black, dusty door before the nice, shiny, red one! We still have 1 more coat to go and I'll post it about it later.

Not too shabby for half way done huh? I also picked up new hardware so we can get rid of that hideous gold! It hasn't quite made it out of the package yet, but it will tonight!

We also had time to play with Cali Mae except she tends to poop out a little too easily!

And lastly, grilled salmon and topped it off with avocado, cilantro, lime salsa! Yum! Have a good Monday!

Fab Friday!

Hope you all are having a splendid week! With the amazing weather we've been having, we were able to plant our shrubs, bushes and flowers! My in-laws were also kind enough to buy us a grill! So we basically grilled and planted shrubs all week! Not too shabby for March :)

Here are a few of my favorites for the week..

Our new grill:

Anything Chevron; Especially this rug:

This cute little photo:

Cute Invites for maybe our Engagement Party:

Quick Home Workout:

Peanut Butter Mug Cake!

We were getting ready to go to bed tonight and I just had to have dessert! I wasn't going to bed until I had something sweet. So I polished off the rest of the peanut butter ice cream we had and it still didn't curb it. So I did what anyone with a fierce, sweet craving would do; I made a peanut butter mug cake! Now, since we are on a pretty diet around here (Mexico is a staggering 4 weeks away..eek!) this was the healthiest option for us! It does the trick in a pinch :)

Ingredients


1 TBSP Heavy Whipping Cream
1 TBSP Sugar
1 Egg
2 TBSP Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 tsp Baking Powder

In goes the egg..

Baking Powder and Cream..

Sugar..

And the Peanut Butter..

Mix all together..

Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds until it looks like this..

Enjoy!

Fab Friday!

It's the weekend! Pretty exciting stuff, eh? We never have a slow weekend to just hangout around the house. We always have people in town or I always have shoots. This weekend, it's Brian's parents. Last weekend my sister and her plus 1. Weekend before it was friends from Des Moines. We love these people but man we are looking forward to our vacation in a few weeks :)

Here are a few of my favorites from the past week or so:

Busy Bees!

We have been crazy busy the past couple of weeks! My sister and Collin came up last weekend for the basketball tourney downtown since KU would be playing. Everyone went downtown Saturday to watch the games and we were kind enough to let their dog, Gracie (Marley's even more naughty long lost sister) to stay in our backyard. Now, little Gracie has a hard time staying out of trouble. This is, after all, the same dog that jumped through their screen on their back patio door and high centered herself on the actual frame of the door! So we put her in the backyard and off everyone went. My sister receives a call and says your dog is running loose in the neighborhood and is chasing a rabbit! She somehow busted through our wood fence and hunted down this poor rabbit and well, you probably know what happened next. So that was the start of our weekend!

Did you all catch the KU game last Sunday?! Whew, what a show! My sister and Collin are diehard fans! Like the real hardcore kind. With the game going as it was, my mom and Gary were going to have quite the awkward car ride home with them! Good thing they showed up the last minute and a half and won!

Here is a picture of us after the game. We thought it would be appropriate to buy a $10 T-shirt to remember the weekend. We of course, bought Creighton T-shirts :)

Excuse the iphone shot. It's grainy, I know! You can also get my awesome outfit by applying any t-shirt of your choice over the top of a really cute summer dress :)

Wasn't too shabby of a weekend! Now on to more cuter things! Here is a preview from last week. We had a lot of fun with this little girl! She was such an active 1 year old! She wasn't quite sure what to think of the grass at first, but she warmed up!

Have I mentioned how much I love my backyard?! I no longer have to travel for shoots! I still will though :) Isn't this little girl just a gem?!

Happy Thursday!

Decorating Time!

I finally got around to decorating the entry way last week! It's taking me forever to decorate because I tend to change my mind as soon as I buy something! I'm the return queen :) So here is the before:

Excuse Cali's little butt! I'm sure she's looking for a squirrel to chase :)

Pretty blah, right? Well here it is all spruced up:

Dining room is also completed :) Just need to figure out my centerpiece!
