behind-the-scenes

Just wrapped up the “Smitten” April/May issue of the magazine! In the Keeping in Touch section, we featured three adorable girls (my StellaJane, Mia Marie, and their cousin, Adria Ruth) wearing …

… adorable homemade dresses sewn by Ashley, Adria’s mother, my SIL. I thought you might enjoy the making of the photo. (I did leave out the photos that include me in my sweat pants and baseball cap.

But the girls were into the performance of it all …

Mia kept giving us a cheesy smile merely BECAUSE we asked (you know how kids are) …

And Stella is always trying to orchestrate things (hmmm, wonder where she gets that from) …

We did have to fuel them. (yummy Organic Clif Kid Fruit Ropes)

I think you’ll like the final photo we chose for the magazine. (In your mailbox and on newsstands soon!)
