I cant believe that it’s Monday again…sometimes the days just roll together for me. So a couple of confessions:
1. I acted much like a child this weekend: You see, my mom in law came in town to help me with my window treatments (which I have to say is a major blessing) Anyway, I had my chair custom covered in a fabric that I absolutely love…my plan was to do my living room treatments in it as well…well, then we discovered that the fabric is no where in site anymore.. HUGE BUMMER! So I pouted for a while and my mother in law tried to help me figure out what to do and I continued to pout…I finally came to a point where I was able to regroup and move on. I think that sometimes we set ourselves so many expectations that we set ourselves up for disappointment. I found a print that I love and in the end I think it will look better than the original..but I think our expectations put us in a box
I ate bread: We were invited to a wonderful lunch with some people after church and there were the best rolls. I couldn’t resist. So my confession: I haven’t had bread since January 1st and I’ve lost 30lbs…I’m so enjoying watching the scale going down and it’s been an exercise in discipline, but things are good. I’ve dropped 2 dress sizes and am determined to keep going.
So I’m headed to Atlanta with Stephanie from Gigi Creations. I will be booking 5 limited sessions and we will also be doing a few models for her clothing lines. If you are interested, please let me know as these will book up quickly.

Can I be real? I love what I do…I absolutley love love what I do. To me, my job has so many great benefits and I’m so blessed to be able to do what I love…a few things happening in our lives and at Sara-Anne Photography.
- my house is finally becoming a home…I love that and so happy and thankful to all the wonderful people in our lives that have helped with that
- soccer season starts today…love that! I’m a crazy screamer for my kids on the soccer field
(not in a bad way)
- Sara-Anne Photography will be on location in Atlanta the weekend of the 10th (details to follow) Working with Gigi Creations we will be hosting sessions which will include a family sessions, the outfit, and print credit…so stay tuned. Exciting stuff!
- We will also be teaming up again with the fabulous Jamie D’Agostino (make up artist extraordinaire) to provide a day of sessions for moms and young women. I have so much I can say about this…and will be sharing many more details in the next few weeks. But I’m excited about this.
- Beach sessions….whew! I hope to have all the details about beach sessions in the next week or so. I’m excited to say that I will be able to offer 4 weeks (1 per month) of sessions this summer. They will fill up quickly.
- I have one spot that came open for the Reflections workshop in North Carolina. If you are interested please let me know ASAP. I still have 3 openings for the one in NoVA
- High School Senior Class of 2011 model call…still need a few more.
WOW!!! see what I mean…busy, but I love it!
Here are some more images from my time in NoVA…again, I loved working with these women, and looking forward to doing it again soon. Miss Claudia is no exception…she was totally game in her high heals to get out there in the snow…wonderful sense of style…and not to mention BEAUTIFUL! Thanks Claudia for all the fun you offered during the shoot.

I’ve learned a great lesson today. You see the other day when we were at the Great Wolf Lodge, I lost my iPhone….I had it in the room, but then it was gone. I looked everywhere and so disappointed as when i called At&T they quoted me $399 for a new phone..which I just can’t justify. So I thought and prayed about it…just wanting wisdom. At&T store suggested I get a go phone, insert my SIM card and wait until the end of the month when I was eligable for a new iPhone. So that’s what I did…headed to Target, go the go phone and inserted the SIM card…no luck..wouldn’t work. So I trotted over to the At&T store and asked them for help…they said it was the phone, not the SIM card and to return it to Target…which I did and tried the SIM phone there at the store and it still didn’t work. Tried 2 more phones until the Target Customer Service person said I couldn’t keep opening up their phones. So I went back to the At&T store (are you getting tired?) and they still couldn’t figure out what was wrong…long and short (I know finally) after 3 hours of waiting, the said they would put in a request for me to get my update early and it would only be $75 whooo hooo!!!
So here’s what was positive:
- I lost my phone in March…the same month that I was eligible for an upgrade
- because of an issue company wide (which none of the reps had ever seen) with the SIM cards, I was eligible for an early upgrade with no charge
- love the fact that all my info will just transfer with no delay of waiting
- because I couldn’t take back any more phones to Target, At&T will credit me the money for the go phone
So yes, I was without a phone (which sadly I’m too attached to) for a few days…but I’m so very thankful that it won’t cost me an arm and leg to replace.
So here are a few pics from our GWL experience
We’ve had a busy and crazy couple of days.
Great Wolf Lodge: We headed to Williamsburg with our friends to spend a night at the Great Wolf Lodge. If you have never been, it’s really a fun little getaway for your family during the winter. Here are some quick tips.
- go Tuesday/Wednesday or Wednesday/thursday. We only had 125 people there when we got there, but when we left on Friday afternoon they were completely sold out. It makes a huge difference with kids.
- we spurged for the kid cabin…but you dont need to, you aren’t in your room that much for the kids to really know and enjoy their own sleeping space.
- bring your own snacks…food there is astronoimcal…$4.00 for a gatoraid…
- For dinner and lunch you can do their buffet (carry out) they give you two plates and we filled them both at dinner (shrimp, fruit, etc) then had the second for lunch the next day.
I’ll share the pictures tomorrow.
Came home from the GWL and was woken up at 2am with Micah scraming about his ear hurting. We tried a few things then I took him to the ER where I was told it would be a 10 hour wait. (left the ER) got home, gave Micah some motrin and over the counter ear drops, called the Ped at 8:30 was there by 10am and was told he had a ruptured ear drum…????? what????? then went from there to his 9th birthday party where he was able to play lazer tag. Crazy day! But he had a great time with his friends. Came home and slept!
This week I’m working on catching up on the many many e-mails…Oh..I’ve lost my cell phone (yes oh joy) so if you need me, please e-mail me as for now, that is the only way I can be reached.
Here is a sneak peek from an amazingly beautiful young woman. Enjoy
