. mornin' .

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?

Coffee and eggs cooking on a fire...

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

. girl on a wire .

I heard the harmony of heartbeats

When our souls were caught on fire

But now my slippered foot is shaking 

And there's no net below this wire

. My Mariah .

I got to spend the afternoon with my best friend... thee one and only Mariah Tiratzo

(She wanted to make sure you guys got her full name and that I spelled it correctly!...She's kind of a diva like that!)

Sometimes I want to smack her silly

More often than not I'm just shaking my head at how much of a princess she can be

We call each other stupid like it's going out of style (term of endearment between us really) 

But no matter how crazy this girl can make me lol

I love her so very much

We first met in second life over six years ago and she's been putting up with me in both worlds ever since

Since then, we've been through a ton together

She's there for me in an instant if I need her to be

She lets me have my space when I turn grumpy and need to be alone 

And most importantly..

she buys me coffee!

So in other words...she's a keeper!

. almost home .

I called it an adventure

I kept my mind and heart open to possibilities

I tried new things and met all kinds of people

It was great while it lasted but there's somewhere I must go

It's where my imagination travels once the day is through

It's where coffee tastes the best and my pillow is worn in just right

It's home and I'm almost there

. dance like nobody's watching .

Whatever it is that you love to do

Whatever it is that makes your heart happy

and your spirit soar

Whatever it is that makes getting out of bed worth while

 

Do it with your whole heart

Fill your art with everything you are

Practice it for you alone

Don't worry what other eyes would see or other opinions would say

What matters is that you make yourself proud

Love what you do and do what you love

Dance like nobody's watching
