(photos for LA who requests more smiles…wink!)
My weekends are a little bit different these days because I work on Saturdays and then have Sunday and Monday free to spend as I please. Today was super relaxing and full of good things. I took a bubble bath, went to flea markets and out for coffee with Mr. Larson and then went birthday shopping with my mom, sister, sarah and penelope. it was perfect! I got some new shoes and sunglasses and we all went to the pet store to hold puppies. I think everyone in our whole family (except my dad) wants more puppies. ♥ Tomorrow I'm going shopping with my grandma. It's our tradition since I was a little kid every birthday.
Little Penelope and I both have a birthday this week. I'm trying to figure out what to wear to her (Harry Potter Themed) birthday. It's hard to believe that it was a whole year ago that Jeremy and I were sitting in a hospital waiting room at 4am watching Home Alone and waiting for little Penelope to arrive. It's been the best year I can remember.

XOXO.

Are you going to do a recap/update on your “27 Things To Do Before I’m 28” post?
You look so beautiful in these photos (as always) – I would love to know how you did your eye make-up in these shots?
Could you maybe do a photo step-by-step of how you achieved this look?
