299: Spitting Image

They say she looks like me.
I say she is undeniably gorgeous.
I should learn to speak so kindly of myself, I guess.

298: Hard to get.

It has become a hilarious game (in his opinion), to run from the camera. He likes to play hard to get, but I'm up for a good chase now and then.

After I was done, he wanted a turn with the camera. It's so cool to see the world from his perspective :)

297: True to life.

I decided to reattempt my self portrait from a few days ago (I am in serious need of a new facebook profile pic! hah), and I am much happier with the results this time around. The crop isn't quite what I was going for, but I look right. That's who I see in the mirror.

296: Java

I do love coffee.

295: Note to self

Dear Kim.
Next time you get a haircut that you're not sure you like, don't attempt a self-portrait session to change your opinion on the cut. You will get frustrated, dislike the hair even more, and criticize every single one of your other features in the process.
You're beautiful, even if you don't feel like it after an hour of trying to capture it.
Love, Self.

294: Spud

It's the end of the day.
He was a willing subject.

293: Jilly

Happy birthday to my niece! She's two. Don't you love her party skirt and flowy scarf? So much flair at 2 years old :)

292: From Scratch

The arrival of fall means the return of weekly pizza night at our house.

Keys to a killer pizza:
Pizza baking stone - doughy half-baked crusts are a thing of the past!
Real crust - whip up some dough, it's seriously not hard.
Homemade pizza sauce, loaded with garlic.
Leftovers! Today our pizza had pork tenderloin, taco-seasoned ground beef, sauteed carrots, zucchini, and eggplant. It changes every week.
Then I threw on some mushrooms, green peppers, and mozzarella.
That's it. Easy!

I had enough for 2 pies, but we only need one to feed the family, so I'm freezing the second one for a quick go to meal. (first attempt at this, so I hope it works) Who doesn't love the convenience of having a pizza in the freezer? I do, I just don't like not being able to pronounce half the ingredients in the ones you get from a store.

291: Blah

It really wasn't a blah day, just a blah photo. I would rather have a blah photo than have a day go blank. I will persevere!

290: Strum

It does my spirit good to listen to my husband beating on a box drum, jamming with a friend on his guitar, singing praise to our God. (Don't know what a box drum is? I didn't either before I saw one...google it if you're curious).

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God…
