--------------------------

Little buddy got his pictures taken this last week!

Sharon is amazing.  She captures the moment.  I asked her what I should pick out for Boston to wear- you know how outfits these days are almost more important than the picture- and she told me to have him wear something that reminds me of him.  She asked me what his favorite 4 things were.  I said, well duh.  He loves jumping on the tramp, he loves bath time, he loves mowing the lawn and playing outside.  So when she got here, that's what we did.  We played.  And he was so super happy.  Showing off all his toys and wanting to impress her with all his cool tricks!  I picked basketball shorts for him to wear.  Yeah, not the cute ripped jeans and button up shirt I had picked out.  She helped me choose something that reminded me of Boston.  Something that in ten years I'll be like, remember those shorts?!  How he wanted to wear them everyday and they were WAY too big!

Sharon is offering THREE free accordion albums ($90 value) when you book with her before Nov 1st!  PERFECT Christmas gifts for those grandparents!

Well here's what she took.  You like?

And these were from a few months back... when he cried the ENTIRE time!  Poor teething baby.

Do you love them?  Probably not as much as me because he's my own kid.  But they are so Boston.  This is what I want to remember when I look back.  Him playing in our yard.  Not dressed up all fancy in front of some random brick wall.

Sharon photographs everything, but I'm completely in love with these amazing Birth Stories she's doing.

What's a birth story?

Is that not the best ever?

The World Wants Braids

Braids are SO in right now.  French Braids, Dutch Braids, Fishtail Braids, Waterfall Braids, Waterfall Twists and Bohemian Twists.  

Messy beach braids are everywhere.  The awesome thing about braids is they can be so casual and so formal.  Here are just a few pictures I grabbed from google images.

Messy.  Sometimes being perfect isn't always best!

For this one you need super long hair.  At least that's how it is with all the tutorials I've seen.
Remember, celebrities have extensions.

Yeah that's a NORMAL braid.  Curl your hair, put it in a side braid and pull the braid loose!

This is a dutch braid, can you see how the braid is reversed?  You get this braiding the hair OVER each other instead of under.  Tutorial in the ebook 

French braid pulled loose

Yeah, she's got extensions in.

See how this braid is different from Jennifer Anniston's above?  All that's different is that top piece wasn't added on to.

Dutch braid.  Top piece not added on to.

Love the back on this one!  SUPER easy.  Similar tutorial in the ebook

She's french braided the side over and then it looks like it's transitioned into a fishtail

Anyway.  Get your braid on people!  If you don't know how, buy the ebook at watch my tutorials.  It's not as hard as it looks, I PROMISE.  If you can do it on other people but not yourself, PRACTICE on yourself.  While watching TV of course.  It's the only way!
