. lotte's bakery .

One of my very favorite traditions of the holiday season is all the festive baking that takes place! I love to tie on my cutest apron, cover the kitchen in flour, and laugh at my horribly misshapen snowflake and gingerbread men cookies. Oops! hehe What makes it even better is getting to share all your yummy creations with the people you love. With all that said, I'm off to do some more baking now, shortbread and hazlenut cookies, mmm!

. come gentle night .

Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-browed night,

Give me my Romeo. And when I shall die,

Take him and cut him out in little stars,

And he will make the face of heaven so fine

That all the world will be in love with night

And pay no worship to the garish sun.

~Shakespeare

I wouldn't exactly call myself a morning person but when you're out camping, waking up to that crisp fresh air and listening to the birds start their day, it's hard not to join them yourself

Oh...and did I mention breakfast?

if not for the fresh air and sweet little birds, that's definitely worth getting up a bit early for

. silly boy .

As long as I have his favorite treats packed, Watson is willing to follow me anywhere and today was no different!

I made up a picnic basket for us and we went down to the park.

Unable to concentrate on anything but the basket, knowing that that's where I was keeping the goods, Watson was a persistent little devil. People walking by must have thought I never feed the poor little guy!

 Once he got his treats though, he forgot mom even existed!

There was so much for him to get into at the park...including a huge pile of leaves.

He dove and all I heard was rustling and crunching until his sweet little leaf covered head popped up!

We stayed and played until the sun was going down and Watson's little tummy began to rumble again, letting me know it was time to get him home for his dinner.

He's such a silly boy

. southern paradise & logan studios .

A good friend of mine, along with her boyfriend, have been working on a picture perfect sim for you guys! It's called Southern Paradise and is home to Logan Studios!

They've put so much of their heart into making their vision come to life there. It's been adorable to watch how excited Addy has been through the process, how anxious she was to show me their work, and has been really sweet to see how they've worked together on it.

♥

As I mentioned, the sim is home to Logan Studios where you can set up an appointment to get photos taken by BroderickLogan. He makes use of his studio as well as the surrounding areas on the sim for his work which ranges from profile, couples, family, wedding pictures and so much more! If there's something you have in mind you'd like done, definitely speak to him about it! I'm sure he can work something out for you. 

If you'd like to spend some time snapping your own pictures around the sim, you're welcome to also. There's a number of different areas set up, each offering their own photo worthy backdrops! A barn, water mill, beach with boardwalk, dreamy fantasy scenes and, let's not forget, a plane crash! I probably sound a bit too excited for something as awful as a plane crash...but... it's pretty cool, trust me! By joining the studio group, you gain rez rights if there's that little something of your own you'd like to include in your pictures as well!

Their sim is on track to officially open sometime next week so be sure to stop in and visit once it does! If you have any questions about Southern Paradise and/or Logan Studios contact either AdalynneReed Resident or BroderickLogan Resident. They're both super sweet and I'm so grateful to be able to call them friends
