Pretty Pretty Pin-Ups

So, let me just say that it was a really amazing experience doing a photo shoot with Pin-Up Photographer Suzie Bell (the link is to her blog). 


It is like waking up on Christmas morning every morning because I get to see if she has posted a new picture from the shoot on Facebook. All of my friends and the fans of Suzie Q's Pin-ups have been so sweet with their comments. Suzie majorly rocked the house with making all of my ideas become reality.


Questions/Comments about the Photo Shoot in No Particular Order:


1. My hair was done by the wonderful Heather Trimble in Cedar Hill at Split Endings Salon. She also did my eye makeup. Love her and it.


2. I now want to dress up really nice, wear things in my hair, curl my hair and wear red lip stick everyday.


3. I want all of my friends to get pin-ups too. It was so fun!!!!!!!!! 


4. Talk about a confidence booster. I haven't had many self-loathing negative thoughts lately, and that really says something!


5. I already want to do a photo shoot again. There were several ideas I didn't get to do due to the freezing monsoon weather going on outside during the shoot. Rude. 


So far, here are a couple of my favorite shots:


I knew I had to do something with the American Flag. This is one of the pictures from this portion of the shoot.
Although I have been a pin-up fan since before I married Adam, now I have a slew of his gear to use in the shoot- super awesome, super fun. SEMPER FI!!!
This one has got to be one of my favorites. Max is such a ham, just like his mommy. I love that this is a genuine laugh, as Max attempted to lap up my makeup. He got red lipstick all over him during this part of the shoot. So awesome. Love love love my Mr Mr Max. 

That is all for now. Other than pin-up, I have a sweet, amazing, precious beautiful baby niece that I can't wait to get to see again. I have been fighting off a cold so I couldn't go see her this week. :(

That's it for now! XOXOXOX Bettie Boyd

How to be a Housewife (Without Feeling Like a Slave)

Now, don't get the wrong idea here... I'm not sending a passive aggressive message out there to men (do men even read blogs?) that women hate doing house duties. We love it - right, ladies??? (wink, wink) And I'm not complaining either. (Although I do despise laundry, I love a clean house; so it's a double-edged sword.) One thing I'm BIG on is positive thinking . Sometimes, it is hard to be positive if you are feeling overwhelmed with dishes, laundry, cleaning, cooking... oh yeah... LIVING IN and maintaining a home. So, I thought sharing my thoughts on this topic could maybe help some disgruntled wifeys out there. 1) Don't hate, delegate - I'm a huge fan of starting young with manageable tasks around the home. There are a bunch of lists floating around the interwebs of chore lists for kiddos, and a lot of them are pretty dang silly (one suggests letting a 2-3 year old put dishes away, um no!)  -- but my favorite one is from Kids Activities Blog.  2) B...

How Not to Raise an Asshole

Guys, you know how I am. I tell it like I see it. And these days, I see a LOT of two things: asshole adults and asshole kids who will grow up to be asshole adults. Not raising an asshole requires work , so if you aren't interested in some blood, sweat and tears, then close your browser, and don't forget to write a rude comment on your way out. Let me preface this by saying: these suggestions are being made from my professional side, not my parenting side--- let's be real, the verdict is still out on whether my kids will grow up to be assholes or not (just kidding... over my dead body will they be entitled, dependent adults)... but still, the important distinction of point-of-view needs to be mentioned. Here are some ways not to raise an asshole: 1) Teach them how to do stuff. You know how kids don't come with an instruction manual? Well, neither does growing up. Kids learn from example how to do almost everything - show them how to do things! Don't just...

Caldo de Pollo - Paleo Style

Caldo de Pollo is a delicious dish that is absolutely perfect for a cold, wintery day like today has been in Chicago. It is a basic chicken soup, but let me tell y'all - it is far from basic-tasting!! Other than a considerable amount of prep work because of cutting up all the vegetables, this is a relatively easy one pot recipe (which translates to a quick clean up - extra points given there!). Traditional caldo de pollo is served with rice, but my version is completely paleo. Let me tell you that I honestly didn't miss a grain of rice one bit. Without further adieu, I present the yummy recipe for paleo-style caldo de pollo! Ingredients for soup: - about 2 lbs worth of chicken (I used organic skinless, boneless breast tender strips) - 3 liters of water - 7 chicken bouillon cubes (opt for low-sodium for healthier option) - 3 zucchinis - 1/2 white onion - 1 bunch of celery - 4-5 carrots - a package of sliced mushrooms - 1 floret of broccoli - 2-3 garlic cloves...
