- quick recipe of the week -

Hello friends! Happy Monday to you! Like I said in my last post, I am beyond busy right now, so I'm sorry that I have been lagging with the blog posts on my blog, as well as my lack of comments on your blogs! My Dad and stepmom were in town this past weekend from Florida, and they only get to see Ellie once a year, so we spent the whole weekend with them letting them soak in lots of Ellie time (and we all loved it!). And our move is coming up soon, and although we are only moving down the street, it still is a tremendous undertaking to pack while trying to keep a toddler entertained. Oh, and to top if all off, my assistant at work gave birth to her baby 5 weeks early! Nothing was prepared for her departure yet, so I have been running around like crazy doing her job and my job unexpectedly this past week. She's out for 12 weeks now, so I better get used to the craziness at work (sigh). I've made it through one week without her...only 11 more to go! (And in case you're wondering...her baby is doing okay, although she is in the NICU, and she's very itty bitty.) I do miss everyone dearly around here, though, and I hope life settles down soon so I can get back into the swing of things again.

So, in spite of being crazy busy the past few weeks, we are trudging along. Matt has been awesome, super supportive, and very helpful in spite of all this craziness, which has helped my stress level tremendously! And this little one has been super well behaved lately (knock on wood), which has also made things bearable. The crazy things she says bring a smile to our face every day! And every day that goes by, she turns more and more into such a girly girl! I don't think she has worn pants in close to two months...every day it's a skirt or a dress even when she goes to bed at night (yes, I let her wear skirts to bed...this momma has to choose her battles wisely with a 2 year old)...and the fluffier the better! She was on cloud nine the day I pulled out this tutu for her to wear (I have to hide it from her or she will INSIST on wearing it every darn day!)

 But enough about me , and Ellie, and our busy life...let's move on to what we are here for today! Meet Shauna, from Life Captured. Shauna is a 30 something girl from California trying to survive in Oregon. She uses her blog to capture life and family through pictures (a girl after my own heart!). Shauna is an aspiring photographer, lover of the sunshine, and a happy wife. She is a proud Auntie that attends lots of her nephews' baseball games...because who doesn't love a baseball game on a nice sunny day? Shauna is a sweetheart, and if you don't already know her, you definitely should get to know her!
