Life is busy

Well Life has been very busy lately, there have been some trying moments, some happy moments, and well some really sad moments. But in all the moments I've learned that life is a lesson, that we are all here to learn. Making the best of everything, is hard, it's really hard at times. Sometimes I feel really overwhelmed at times, I feel super overwhelmed at times. I know though that I am motivated to succeed, I'm motivated to do the things that I want to do, be the things I want to be. I'm trying to become a photographer so among working at my job, being a mom, I also study photography by correspondance. On top of that I have been working with my son on some delays that he has, we're working really hard and in 5 days we've come up with 4 more new words, which is great for him, he says all gone, yellow, no, and shoe now. I'm so proud of him. Anyways I have to make this short as I am very, very busy with editing my photography. So until next time people's I hope you are all well, and I'll write to you soon!

Cheers,

Krystal

It's been a long week

Sorry I haven't written in a while guys, I've been soo busy lately, with a new job, more photoshoots coming up and trying to book them. Its just been sooo busy. I did however get a nice new laptop a few days ago and I must say I just love love love it, it is a lot easier to deal with than my dead and broken desktop! Anyways this will be short, I just wanted all you lovelies to know that I am still alive and ticking!

Friday oh Friday!

So I've been slacking, I admit it, I'm sorry I don't mean to be such a slacker but my life has gotten BUSY! I do photography, and I've had a shoot that I did, I gave you a sample photo in my wordless wednesday blog. I've been given some great opportunities, I may have 3 shoots coming up, my friend just signed a record label and wants me to be her staff photographer and I was invited to do the women's show here in my town, as a Vendor!!! So as you can see it's been a busy life for me, and really I'm loving every single minute of it, I'm so happy to know that God is blessing me in SOOOO many ways!

I'll tell you what I did do though, I did a photoshoot for a nice couple named Matt and Melissa today. It was raining but it was a LOT of fun! I don't have much time to write today but I wanted to pass on a reminder about Tazim's giveaway go there and try your hand at winning!

Saturday Ramblings

Hey all, it's Saturday, its been raining and the suck weatherwise all day so we've been cooped up in the house. Le sigh. Tomorrow I have a photo shoot which is going to be awesome, and if it rains well that will be awesome too! We had chili tonight, it was good, we love chili in our house.

Here's how I make my chili:

1lb of Hamburger

2 cans of spaghetti sauce

A whole onion chopped

4 jalapeño peppers diced

2 cans of kidney beans

1 whole tomato diced

Garlic salt

Salt

Pepper

Paprika

Oregano

Chili powder

Brown the hamburger in a frying pan, next put the onion in with the hamburger, once the onions are done put in a large pot, put the 2 cans of sauce, jalapeño peppers, kidney beans and tomato in and add spices. Simmer for 45 mins on medium high heat.

And finally don't forget to go enter Tazim's contest she's still doing her 30 days of giveaways!

Friday oh friday!

Hey all I'm not gonna do a blog post today really as I'm not feeling well, I have a headache and am feeling icky. My new laptop should be here soon hopefully which will be awesome because then I can lay down and blog or whatever. But I just wanted to remind everyone about Tazim's giveaway on her blog, 30 days and 30 give aways. Today she is giving away this lovely smelling Solid Perfume tin by Roxana illuminated perfume! So head on over and join the celebration of giveaways!

Frugal Thursdays!

OK first of all don't forget to head over to Tazim's Blog because she's still having her 30 days of Giveaways all of June, and she has some AWESOME stuff to give away on there.

Secondly, I have to give a shout out to all my subscribers, when I started this blog 10 days ago I never would have thought that I would EVER EVER EVER in a million years have any followers, often times I don't think that I'm that interesting, but anyways, I want to thank you all so much for joining me in my blogging journey, as I share my hopes, dreams, joys, and sorrows with you. It means a lot to me, and I appreciate the following.

OK so I went to the mall today, got myself a double chocolaty chip frappachino from Starbucks. Now anyone who knows me personally can tell you what a Starbucks addict I am, at first when I moved back to New Brunswick I thought I was doomed because they don't have many of my fave places to stop for my treats, I don't treat myself often so when I do it's nice to be able to treat myself to things I've treated myself to for YEARS. Anyways, I was overjoyed to find out that the local mall( the biggest one in town and we only have 3) had a chapters, and EVERYONE knows what that means, you got it Starbucks! So I stopped in there today to treat myself to a nice double chocolaty chip frappachino, on the slim side, with skim milk sans whipped cream(that stuff is disgusting, I used to like it and eat it by the spoonful until I realized how many calories half a cup held), and it was grand! Oh so delish! Anyways, after about a year living here they brought in MORE of my fave places to go, winners, Montana's, East-side Mario's, even Panago. They are bringing in Costco even. Now if only they would bring in my most fave place ever 7-11 I'd be in happiness heaven! A red-lobster and olive garden that isn't 3 hours away would be nice too!

So back to the point of my post, you know the reason for frugal Thursdays! I bought shoes, I know you're probably thinking what the heck, how is that frugal, but they were 50% off, so the sticker price was $34.50 and after tax that would have worked out to $38.99, I ended up paying a grand total of $19.49 that is a total savings of $19.50. So I guess my point is, when you see a sale on good quality clothes, which I'm sure we ALL will be seeing here in the next little while as the seasons are changing or it could be a store going out of business (in my case it was), its ok to throw your money down and spend a bit more then you normally would on clothes, shoes, or accessories, because you never know when another sale is going to hit you. I'm the type of person who never spends money on myself because I can never justify it, but I also can never pass up the opportunity to buy a cute pair of shoes!

Oh and here is a couple of pics of me and what I look like in them:

Wordless Wednesday

Oh yeah and don't forget about the 30 days of give aways over at Tazim's blog. Today she's giving away a cute pencil case!

Totally Tuesday

Ok so First of all, I made a awesomely delicious Chicken Pot Pie last night, it was so good, my cousin who came over for dinner had 2 whole big pieces of it. It was Yummy! I made 2 of these things, and let me tell you the second was a mishap because my frozen pie shells broke on the second one, so I had to be nifty and put them together in a fashion that looked good lol. Here is a pic of the good looking pie!

Second thing I'm going to blog about is this contest that is going on at one of the blogs I'm subscribed to! You can find that contest here. She's giving away this awesome mommy necklace and everyday from today until the 30th she'll be giving away something else! How awesome is that?

Have a great Tuesday everyone.
