Bows! Bows! Bows!

So I've been making bows for fun for quite some time now. I finally took the advice of many and started selling them. I have opened a shop on Etsy. The name of the shop is Jenna's Bowtique. The name was a joint effort from the hubs. When i asked him to help me think up a shop name, he suggested "Jenna's boutique" and my reply was "you mean like "bow" tique, and he said that's not what I meant but that's even better...what can I say...we make a great team. Anyhow, the shop is up and running. You can visit it at www.etsy.com/shop/jennasbowtique. I'm super excited about it. I really enjoy making the bows and it helps pass the time while hubby is gone. Now is a great time to have started this because since I don't have a craft room (a must have in our next house...I hope) our kitchen table is my work area...needless to say there is only room for one person to eat at the table. Thank God Jonathan still eats in his highchair...lol! I have tons and tons of ribbon and have started putting together holiday themed bows, but I am happy to make any special order/color combinations you may want. Hopefully baby grubby number two (and NO, I am not pregnant) is a little girl because Jonathan doesn't like wearing the bows...although sometimes I need to "try" them in his hair just to make sure they look OK in kids hair. Please visit my shop or contact me if you need bows, they are great for everyday wear and make any outfit extra special.

Op-Love Reunited

Operation Love Reunited is an organization that provides military families the opportunity for pre-deployment and homecoming photos for free. The location is up to you , the only two stipulations are that the service member has to be in uniform for some of the pictures, and they need to be deploying within a few months. We chose to have our pictures done at The Hotel del Coronado,and on the beach. The location was beautiful, and the weather was good...except for the wind!!! Hubby was OK because he has such short hair (not nearly as short as he used to wear it though), but Jonathan and I were a different story...the wind did bad things to our hair. I promise we both had tamed hair upon arrival for the shoot. We were also able to combine the session and get some great shots of the baby for his six month photos. He was full of smiles, and his eyes are just amazing in every picture. They are still super blue...I'm pretty confident they will stay blue. Overall, wind and all, we are very happy with our pictures...hope you enjoy them.

The Gardens A Growin'

On April 27th I turned my "black thumb" to a green one and planted my first garden. I decided to plant what I consider the basics...I planted tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, and basil. Those were all plants and are growing beautifully, however I also planted some broccoli seeds, but had no luck with them. Jonathan and I water our garden everyday. I think he really enjoys it...and so do I. Today I picked my first zucchini, and can't wait to cook it.
