Happy Friday the 13th, everybody! We've had a pretty busy week here; what about you? I think the highlight of our week was when our new little buddy Zoltar came to visit us! He's the cutest black baby pug you've ever seen. Thanks, Jen and Rogan, for bringing him!!
This week, Elsie, Emma, Laura and I (Sarah) are on a short, little business trip. We've been drinking a lot of coffee (so much coffee), conjuring up inspirational phrases like "hang in there," and getting a lot done. It's been fun! We'll share more about this trip later.
What do we like? Health food and PIZZA.
And what would a Casual Friday post be without a true "behind the scenes" shot? Here's a peek into Josh's workshop and one of his incredible DIYs coming up. He's the best there is—I'm not biased. (He's my husband.)
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a most excellent Father's Day! xo. Sarah

I love that picture of Emma with the wine : ) Also I could never wear coveralls, but I love them on other girls! So cute.

Pugs are the best dogs. We have a 14 year old pug (and although I hate the shedding) he is seriously the sweetest little guy you’ve ever met.
Is there a winner yet for the ABM challenge?
You’re so cheerful! So nice puppy (:
OOOMG the first one of e&e lookin’ like a 90’s dream, and the one of the four of you in your sunglasses are FRAMERS!!!! <3
That pug is too cute!! Good luck on your business trip!

Oh my goodness. Pugs, wine, pizza and fab style! Great post to start a happy Friday! Elsie, you are really rockin’ the casual bun look!
Such a cute puppy and the pizza looks really good. I’m having a lucky day today. I got a dress for my mom and I won three books :). Enjoy the business trip!
Ok for the hundredth time, you guys seem like the dream team!
I want a puppy so bad it’s not even funny! Zoltar is so cute, I would’ve kidnapped him.
Love your overalls, Elsie!! PS: Can’t wait to see what you’re doing with the paint swatches (paint swatches make me swoon).
The puppy is to die for! Awe 🙂

I never knew a pug could be so cute! And the same size just adds to the adorable-ness. I love everything mini!

I love the picture of Emma with a glass of red wine – so cute! And that is absolutely my MO for any hotel stay with lady friends. Well done. 🙂
I can imagine that not a lot of ABM business was accomplished while baby Zoltar was visiting…he’s just too cute for words (or work!!)

Hi Kristin! I usually use either the 35mm 1.4 or the 50mm 1.4, but what I’ve been using to make the photos pop and look sharper are the Stella and Piper actions from the Signature Collection. We seriously use those on like, everything! Here is the link: http://shop.abeautifulmess.com/product/the-signature-collection/
