So it's suppose to be Wordless Wednesday, but I just couldn't post this picture without a few words... This peacock is know in Keene, TX to freely roam the city. You will see it on roofs, crossing streets and my friend's mom even found it in her shower once!

Nachos worth "flying" for!
Pin It
Meet the most amazing nachos ever! On a recent photography trip to Texas two of my clients suggested we stop so I could try their new favorite place, Yucatan Taco Stand. I am forever grateful to them... well, except for the fact they introduced me to my new favorite food that is miles away in Texas. :( They are so good I'd be tempted to hop on a plane just to get them!
For $8 you get this huge plate of nachos, covered in a garlic aioli sauce, a queso sauce, shredded veggies, cilantro, cabbage, queso fresco, and a huge serving of guacamole. Oh and to top it off... there is this sweet and spicy sauce at every table! If you are ever in the Fort Worth area you must visit, Yucatan Taco Stand!

Colored Pants: Add some fun to your wardrobe!
Pin It
I'm totally digging all the colorful pants starting to appear. They are so fun and happy! Perfect with summer right around the corner! Here are a few that I am lovin from Fossil, J.CREW and Gap.

Bought from Gap the light pink ones I'm wearing below... I love them! They are neutral enough that I can mix them with a lot of my clothes. Another favorite way to wear them aside from the combo in the pictures is cuffed as crops with a white and black stripe shirt and black sparkled sandals.
At least one pair of colored pants is a must for this summer! If you are not sure about the bright colors, try one on the lighter side and have fun with it!

1/2 cup popcorn kernels

|| Directions ||
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Place corn kernels and butter in large pot over med-high heat and cover. Once kernels pop shake frequently till slows to 3 second internal pops. Remove from heat, uncover. Transfer to large bowl.

3. Remove from heat. Stir in rosemary, salt and baking soda. Pour over popcorn mixture, toss to coat. Spread on baking sheet.

A love affair with Gelato...
Pin It
There is honestly nothing better then Gelato... well, maybe not. But I must say it is one of my favorite desserts! Last year while in Italy visiting my friend, Jess, I would daily wander the city of Florance, gelato in hand.
I've tried gelato in little shops back home in the US... but they don't quite compare. That is until...
I tried Talenti Gelato!
Talenti is right up there with the Gelatos of Italy. I stumbled upon it one day in the grocery,
and I should probably regret that day. I've tried the Salted Caramel and the Caribbean
Coconut, both are divine! Now I can have a little taste of Italy without hopping a plane.

We hosted a week in March for those in the Keene area to get graduation pictures and custom invitations done. It was such a success we are hosting another week, April 1-6. (Still a couple openings!) Here are some samples of the March week. We had so much fun with each of them!
