What’s happening in our house.

Charlotte has had the craziest, all-across-the-board weather days lately. Chances of snow, followed by mid-60s, followed by rainy days (which I love). So we’ve been having all kinds of fun, indoor dance parties! And new discoveries in dress up. Ali shared with me a super simple chicken noodle recipe that I’ve been making each week….

Mary - Such a lovely girl! Do you mind me asking what noodles you’re using in the soup? They look much smaller than a typical egg noodle. Thx!

jessica - Suzette – Thank you!

The Frat Pack + Me - sweet post, Jessica!

January delights.

Chanel’s Glowing Blush Harmony. So pretty.   Love Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 2012 strappy shoes.   Happy Mama&G time in Charlotte.   Crazy Fair Isle leggings on a cold day.   I’m so excited to be doing Ali’s suggested Project Life. And at the same time I’m loving Instagram. The result is the sweetest little prints from PostalPix…

jessica - Linda – I used Picnik.com to make the collage. They were bought out by Google and will soon be offering all their services for no fee. Woohoo!

Robin – The sound quality is perfect (depending on the quality of the record). We are so enjoying having a record player in the home!

Mefi and Suzette – I love PostalPix! Also just received some of the Instagoodies stuff I ordered. Definitely recommend both!

Thank you Jordan and Lou!

Linda - Jessica- may I ask what rogram you use for your wonderful photo collages?

robin - another great post…love finding out about items you or jeffrey love, I click on each link. and that last photo of you is killer, you look absolutely gorgeous. My huband and I were looking for an old turntable at sleepy poet yesterday but the one you show looks great! how’s the sound quality? I’d loved to just get out some of our old lp’s and start collecting vinyl again.

Mefi - Thanks for the PostalPix tip.

The Frat Pack + Me - So you like PostalPix? I am still waiting on my order!

Jordan - Happy New Year! I love the way you captured the month. Beautiful Jess!

Liz - You are a darling darling girl. I love you. And you know I love me some red lipstick!

Hello 2012.

After 32 years of ringing in the New Year in a cool climate, I’ve now experienced the opposite – and plan to continue! It felt so good to put on some SPF and feel the sun’s rays against bare skin as I took time to reflect on all the wonderful blessings brought about in 2011….

Mefi - lovely pics. off topic. i know you had mentioned long ago about using CeraVe. do you still use it and would you recommend it?

Susan - What beautiful images…the last one especially…timeless.

Virginia Lee Williams - Beautiful, Jessica. The photos and the words. Happy New Year.

Liz - That’s one heck of a sandbox you smart girl you!

Christmas.

I’m yet to get a picture that truly captures the magic of the Christmas Eve lanterns that line miles and miles of my most favorite streets in Charlotte each year, but I’m hoping – after I take some photo classes at The Light Factory starting next month (yay!) – I’ll be able to get one…

Autumn Delights – Part Two.

Sweet little treats for the fall festival.   Gabri-elle-phant!   Road trip with my sister down to the Oregon Coast. We were loving the moments of silence as Anna, Simon, and Gabrielle rested in the backseat.   Trampoline time.   Sweet peas at my parents. There’s no better fragrance or delicate bloom.   You’re a star, Gabrielle!   Strawberry in champagne…

jessica - Kim – I created this using Picnik. But I’m working on finding/creating a template similar to this that I can use to create a quick collage in photoshop.

Erin – Have seen. She’s super fun!

Suzette – Glad you’re caught up. Thanks for updating the info!

Susan – Hope you found the starburst!

Ophelia – No possibility. But thanks for thinking of me! :)

Ophelia - is there a possibility that today, thursday, you are in Chicago on the west side of the Loop? Otherwise there is a twin of yours walking around The similarity was amazing. I had to actually slow down and take a second glance from the car.

Susan - Ok, I must find that Starburst pack, wow! Love the collage Jessica…and I’m also excited about the Chanel Jersey scent…and LOVE that quote. Thank you for the inspiration!

Suzette - I love this collage! I have just realized your feed is no longer showing up in my RSS! I am happy to say I am now caught up ;-)

Erin Huber - Love the “quiet mind” quote. Have you seen the Marc Jacobs ad campaign featuring Helena Bonham Carter (http://twenty2.onsugar.com/Marc-Jacobs-Fall-2011-Ad-Campaign-18287284)? It’s amazing. I want more Halloween pics! :)

Kim - Did you create this in Photoshop? Cool idea.
