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...

Tips on Survival with a Sick Baby

Any parent can tell you that life can be turned upside by a sick child. Sleepless nights, lots of crying (you and the baby!), routines are thrown out the window... it's just for the birds. And to make it even worse, you as a parent are playing a guessing game of what is ailing your child specifically in some instances. So, I don't know about y'all, but this winter season has been a real fun one for Boo. We have had 4 ear infections, a stomach bug, and RSV. I don't even know how to quantify the runny noses, because it has been constant. I know that I am lucky that she is otherwise healthy, so I will go knock on a million pieces of wood now. I have learned from experience (at least 5 trips to the emergency room and 2 hospital stays unfortunately) that earaches/throw up/fever hits in the middle of the night 9 out of 10 times, and at least the first time, you are GROSSLY unprepared. I hope this blog post can change the second part for some new parents out there. (Edit...

Maybe It's Just Easier To Be Lonely

As a busy, working and social mom of two young hellions, I am constantly teetering on the balance of completely and utterly (and not fabulously, might I add) losing my sh-word. Man, what a starter. What an intro! Hello, welcome to my blog. My name is Tara, and I’m completely crazy. I use the term “hot mess” way more than socially acceptable; in fact, there are times that I use the phrase, in reference to myself, and I can literally HEAR someone’s thoughts of annoyance in me. But, I digress. But, it’s true! I’m about one bad day away from flipping out hardcore. Part of it is my innate nature to be involved in *everything.* Combine that with my inherent disability to saying “no,” and it’s a recipe for… you guessed it… “hot-mess-ness.” Totally a word I made up and use… a lot. As I look at my planner (that I am obsessed with - who else have to have their lives written down somewhere or else they have NO IDEA what they are supposed to do that day?!), I realize…. “Dang, I am...
