So here goes Hubby's portion:

Reading Bench

This is what he started with. (well kinda. I decided to actually take the pictures of him working on it after the fact it was already in the process of being made!)

he started with 2-sheets of plywood. 

This is what it looked like before sanding and paint :)

Hubby sanding down the corners &edges so our little one doesnt get hurt!

Primer Coat. (maily the edges & surfaces you see the most)

Finished Paint Job!!! Oh how I LOVE having a handy-man for a hubby :) it literally took him an entire sunday to finish this :)

P.S. I will try my hardest to get some pretty Pics up for ya'll from my Photography soon. I am super excited to announce I will be doing my very 1st Maternity session Sunday and next Sunday, I will be doing my 1st Generation of Women Session.(Great-Grandma,Grandma,Mom-her 4Daughters, and my Clients 5Nieces :)!!!! I am so excited and overwhelmed with the love and memories I will be capturing for these families. It warms my heart to know how much these people appreciate me helping them capture these moments. I honestly hope I get to keep doing this as a career. It has been really hard for me to get my name out there, but the word of mouth is a Powerful thing.

GoodNight and SweetDreams!!!

Mommy's Finds

Found this on Facebook and fell in LOVE with it. (I'm secretly obsessed with PAUL FRANK)

The ELMO-BOOK &Phone are from Goodwil aswell as the book below :)

The amazing doll is...wait for it... a MANHATTAN STELLA DOLL ($35 on amazon.com) but I found it at this cute lil' Child's Resale shop call "The Children's Carousel" near my house. The doll came naked(but heck it was $2 because the lady said she didn't figure anybody would see the value in it...well I DID :) I've been wanting to buy Hayden one for weeks) and when I got it home I washed her and found some of Hayden's NB cloths for Stella!! Hayden LOVES her!!!!

This I found at Goodwil, and had to buy it because, well, Hayden has no hair and everybody calls her a boy (EVEN with her ears pierced and dressed in head to toe Pink).

Well folks, This is the amazing finds I found withing the last week or so. I am sooo proud I found some good stuff. Seriously can't wait to find more :)!!!

I have a DIY blog to write now! Be on the look out!!!

Enjoy!  <3 Courtny Price

5am

Its 5am and I've been up since 3. Hayden woke up, I calmed her down. Now she's asleep and I'm WideAwake.(SO not even fair). I tried to do some picture editing, but couldnt concentrate :/. Drinking my coffee and watching the news while thinking about how excited I am that my husband helped me by building Hayden something for her reading corner.(Don't worry, you'll get pictures!) Well, I guess I need to get off here and clean the floors so Hayden can play when she wakes up. Enjoy your sleep! I know I would if I could lol. :)

Haydens corner :)

Hello :).

My day was pretty productive. I worked on most of the house. All I have left is finishing orginization of Haydens toys in the living room, a few dishes in the kitchen, and finish haning up Haydens clothes :):) GO ME! Well actually thats what I have to finish tonight ,hahaha. Did I mention I made Hayden a reading space in her room!!! She had a bath/splash fight, got her jammies on, gave daddy kisses, and then mommy read her 4 books. She loves it :).

Tomorrow, we are headed to the Children's Museum, possibly Threads(a resale shop that is cute), & then it will be a playdate with Haydens aunts and Nana :). It will be a picnic and playing at the park:). I will def get some pictures. Also if we get home and baby decides to take a really good nap (fingers crossed) mommy will clean mommy&daddy's room, and try and get my sewing stuff organized.

Well, baby is now sound asleep in my arms and about to be laid down. Hoping in the next week or so I can get some new wall art made(by me) & put up in her room. Once I do, you will for sure get some pictures :). Goodnight and have an awsome day tomorrow!!

Happy :)

GoodMorning!!!

Yesterday was a blessing in our family. Hayden finally started eating again :) So far this morning she has been eating good too. Last night we took a walk around our neighborhood as a family. Just hubby,Hayden,& me. It was very peaceful and relaxing. When we got home I started deep-cleaning everything.

  Today I've been on a roll :) I've been up since 7. I watch some news while I drank my coffee. And then, I got back to deep cleaning. Swept and moppes the whole front half of the house and started cleaning the kitchen. My goal is to finish the kitchen and work on Hayden's room :):):). Pictures to follow :)

  Well I gotta get back to the SpringCleaning. But here is something special :) ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!

Oh Happy Day!

Well...

Today Mamma finally got a brand mew phone :) It AWSOME. It has been one crazy week full of mommy taking care of a super sick baby. She has Finally started feeling better and eating more today. Also this past week I have come to realize that some people might not be the best to be around or stop my plans to hangout with. I'm not one to be around people who only wanna have a one sided friendship. Sad feeling but my daughter and I are better off.

Better note, I got friended by an awsome photographer on Facebook that I will be taking lessons from :).

Another big step in the Price House Hold... Hayden is almost fully crawling!!!! She says Mamma, Mom, and oouugh, oh and hhaaaaaa. Lol :) *** PROUD MOMMY ***

Anyways... Will load some pics I've been working on for awhile now later tonight or tomorrow. Sweet Dreams.

Its been awhile...

Howdy!
  Its been about 5-7months since I was last on here. Sad I know. But, I will be slowly working my way into posting atleast once a week! Yay ME!!!

 Well, since the last post, my AMAZING daughter has finally turned 7months old(tears for mommy). She is super smart for her age and very skilled. She sits up, Back-ward crawls, &when Mommy&Daddy aren't paying attention she will ARMY-CRAWL!!! The second we say "Go Hayden", she stops and starts laughing:).
 
  I have also become pretty successful in my photography. I have had 4-Family Sessions, 1-Newborn, 1-Engagement, 1-Boudior, 1-Suprise Party, and have several others lined up!! I am super happy with the sucess I have had as a Photographer who has never had training and is just following my heart.

 Its hard to believe the year I have had. My husband and I got married, had our babygirl, and I have started helping friends and family capture moments that are special to them. It amazes me what kind of support and negativity you will recieve from the people in your world when you are living your life the way YOU want it to be lived. I have cut-off people I thought were my true friends, and gained some people in my life that I'm hoping will be there forever. I strive to be a woman of Faith even when I feel the stress of life. I LOVE MY FAMILY WITH ALL MY HEART, AND NO-ONE WILL EVER STOP THAT!

  Hope you all haev the best day possible! I've got some important mommy things to do this week :). I also hope you enjoy reading my blog. I will be posting some pictures later :).
