First Day of School 2016 and Food

Whelp, the 2016 School year started last week.  It has been actually the hardest for me, as Gabby Is a senior this year and Sophia is now in Jr. High.

"Sisters"

My Baby Growing up way to fast

Gabby Dressed up for Marching Band practice, the theme was NIGHTMARE.....

THIS GIRL FRIGHTS BACK..What ever she faces should be afraid, very afraid.

Had a Greek dinner one night, made homemade tzatziki, grilled meat, zucchini,  onions, peppers and tomatoes.  Served with Naan Basmati, and olives. Oh, and a whole head of garlic...(I highly suggest not eating a whole head of garlic, not unless you want to avoid talking to people in public...

when I grill Kabobs I really like to keep the meat with the meat, the chicken with the chicken and tomatoes with the tomatoes.  Peppers and onions I separate too, but sometimes I put them together:  on the zucchini (same would go for yellow squash) just simply cut in half and no need to skewer, I don't no about you but I only have so many skewers.

   Sure, it looks all so pretty when all one skewer, but I want it to cook evenly and taste good!

My gorgeous and even YUMMIER Salad Nicoise I made for Julia Child's Birthday. 

and simply one of  my Fav Go to Dinners....Roasted potatoes,  Sauteed Kale and Cannellini beans. Crispy  lemon chicken thighs, salmon, Bruschetta.  


yesterday was a total junk food day, ramen, hotdogs and a root beer float, got to reel it back in today..about to make me a ceaser salad!
As always, if you want to know what I am up to, be sure to follow me on Instagram!

Fall Photo Shoot

One of My long time dollie friends sent me some handmade knit hats for the girls to model.  it was also a great opportunity to do a Photo Shoot with Sophia. We went out to the old Historic Sandy Covered Bridge.  It was just so beautiful. The sun was just beaming through the trees! 

Gabby used her flute as a prop

Had so much fun doing the Red Riding Hood Inspired Photos

My Baby is Growing Up way to fast!

Love how mid-evil  this looks, almost looks as if she is waiting for Robin Hood

Of Course there is more pics, still editing, but these are my fav

Sophia's Picture Day

Well, It just feels like forever since I was able to do some pictures with Sophia.  I just got a new camera and wanted to give it a whirl to see if I would be happy with it or not.  

Since I don't have any paying clients (nor any subjects whom I would be more then happy to take pictures of for free...) I have to bribe my kids, and  a new outfit and shoes was the perfect bribe!

It is so hard to believe she is 10 now...I remember posting pics of her when I had brought her home

here in the next few months I am going to be getting ALL THREE KIDS TOGETHER FOR PICTURES...(wonder what it will cost me?)

Thanks for letting me share...

Any Town USA ~INDEPENDENCE DAY

The girls pinned down dad and put a wig on him, red lip stick and an apron....

THE BEST PART OF THE NIGHT WAS KOSMO WAS A GOOD BOY AND NOBODY GOT BIT!!!

The First Day of School Pictures 2012

Amelia Earhart~ kinda performed by Sophia Gianino

Sophia was Amelia Earhart in the celebrate America skit for 2nd grade in Mrs. Bell's class.
we were not able to go. But I still was proud of her for learning her lines that I tried to re-create the moment, with no luck however....

I gave up trying to film this and let Gabby take over......

Just A Girl & Her flute

Gabby had a band concert...she has been playing the flute for three years now...anyway...I could not believe how grown up she looked.  It seems she is 13 going on 38 and I am 38 going on 13......
