Red Hot!
I had the pleasure of travelling down to Eglinton Ave today and spent some time with this sweet young couple who are expecting their first baby! Mom and Dad do not know what they are having so it will be awesome to see the three of them again in a month's time and meet baby. Thanks for the giggles and your patience today guys I had fun! Special thanks to Lisa and look forward to seeing you all again very soon! As promised here are a few sneaky peaks from this afternoon! Amie, check your inbox as I've sent you an email!
Chat soon,

Something different
The kids had a mini shoot today. Stressing the word mini! Their patience with each other and trying to out- do one another was quite funny and frustrating lol.
Here a few from this afternoon.
Snow, colds and overtiredness
Still here, I must apologize for being MIA lately. The whole family has been battling some colds and pretty nasty chest coughs this week. Sure disrupts your sleeping and the kids moods. So we are trying hard to get better. I've been busy working on branding for the business and will reveal some clean looks in the next week or so. Yay so excited :D
Meanwhile stay warm and happy Thursday!

Take some time to read this..
A MAYONNAISE JAR AND 2 CUPS OF COFFEE When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full they agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.
The sand is everything else -- the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal."
Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
