It's still raining here in SoCal and I'm fighting to stay awake! I am briefly reminded of times that it rained while I was in college and I would promptly roll back over and tell myself that it was too dangerous to walk to class on those slippery bricks...I was a stellar student, I swear! :) In my fight to stay awake this afternoon I remembered that I casually mentioned my trip to Charlotte for a portrait event but never blogged it!
About a month ago I participated in the 7th Annual Charlotte Mommies Birthday Bash...Charlotte Mommies is a popular and useful resource for well, mommies in Charlotte! I was pumped to be there and met tons of cool parents and cute kids. I also have a few more details mentioned on my children's blog.
A few shots of my table from my point and shoot (oh and mad props to Characters Bar in Monterey for keeping our camera waiting for us after Mike and I accidentally left it there one night after excitedly watching the Angels beat down on the Red Sox):
Happy Hump Day! Stay dry and drive safe SoCal folks!

You know those kind of days...where the dog doesn't want to go out because it's pouring and you have to hunt for a decent (and preferably cute!) umbrella only to realize that you left it at some coffee shop four months ago...I had to whip out the rain boots/wellies/galoshes or what-have-you this morning as it is raining cats and dogs in Santa Barbara today...which is kind of a big deal around here since it only rains like once a year :)
It's nice to hear the pitter-patter of the rain beating on the roof and see it bead up on the leaves of our plants...a refreshing feeling of a new start the next day...

I am blushing! Michelle from Sage Wedding Pros (my FAVE industry blog!) featured an interview with me on her blog :) I am so honored! Thanks Michelle! I have mentioned Michelle's blog before in one of my resource room posts because it truly is my favorite industry blog for all wedding professionals...Sage Wedding Pros always offers insightful interviews, organizing tips (you know my OCD self loves these) and probably the most beneficial tip I've learned from her blog is her business plan tips (every business owner needs to know this!).

I have a confession. I am a hoarder. OK, not like one of those hoarders, but I am a hoarder of sticky notes. I am guilty of covering desktops, fridges and Mike's forehead with every color under the rainbow of sticky notes. Finally, I realized it was time to face my problem head-on. It got so bad that I couldn't find sticky notes from yesterday under sticky notes written from today. What to do? What to do? I kept hearing my photographer friends talk about "Things" and how awesome it was. But, I just wasn't sure. I wasn't sure if I was ready to leave paper behind. But I did and I LOVE IT!
Things is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! It's the perfect solution to uberly-annoying organized folks like myself. You can break down tasks and projects by hour, day, week and divide tasks amongst different categories (home, work, etc) and you can assign tasks to different people (my personal fave...delegating is a skill!) It also does tons more but I've been using Things for about two weeks and I can't sing it's praises enough. I do find myself reaching for sticky notes much less since I've been using Things...all my tasks and "things" are actually getting done because I can see what's needs to be completed. Go check it out...if you sit near a computer for as much as I do then you may want to consider Things!
And it wouldn't be a blog post without...

So far I've gotten great feedback on my resource room posts...if anyone has anything they would like to contribute, please feel free to comment in the comment section below and let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to see from the resource room!
Today I am sharing With This Ring and I adore today's post (ahem, it's about an Etsy store!) I'm telling you, I could spend hours browsing Etsy...but anyway, back to With This Ring! Be sure to go check out their blog-it's super cute and has the latest and greatest wedding ideas!
Next up isn't just for photographers...it's for everyone, but I've been wanting to share this blog because I think it gets back down to the basics. Day in and day out we all work and get bogged down with the minute details of life and sometimes reading this blog is just a fresh of breath air reminding me to chill out and appreciate everything that is going on!
Check out Zen Habits:
Enjoy!
