oh my.  waffle got a really big haircut.
i couldn't believe how different he looked.
and he is so proud…struttin' around like he's all that.
  his fuzzy hair is sooooo soft…like a chenille blanket!
it's so weird.
 he is still a dork though.
big time.
just for fun….
 ************************************************************
by the way…i am almost done with all my etsy orders.
you have all been so patient with me.
it's been a lot work but i have loved it.
i think every time i finish a pillow i say "now THIS is my favorite."
right now there are 12 sitting in the craft room again…waiting to ship out.
i know our postal workers by first name now.
i hope you all love your pillows and shirts as much as i loved making them!
Now that is a Different Dog! Just like my blog. Ha ha. Waffle is absolutely adorable! I have a giant Schnauzer that looks just like Waffle, only she is black and in serious need of a new summer do. I want Waffles hair back… much much adorable! he doesn’t even look like himself. he’s so cute. he does look pretty proud of his new do. I LOVE Waffle’s new haircut! He looks amazing and so much LIGHTER – in the literal sense! :o) Thanks for sharing and I’m sure HE thinks he’s ALL that and a bag of chips every day! Look at how he’s catered to! He has all of you right where he wants you! LOL He’s a doll! Our Boston Terrier, Marley, has a tumor in his colon. We find out in a few days if benign or malignant. Do you mind praying for our little guy? He’s only 5 1/2 yrs old. i can’t believe how different he looks–and i think he’s actually smiling about his buzz. He doesn’t even look like the same dog! Our little pup doesn’t have quite as much hair as Waffle but he does have long hair and we are going to take him to the groomers in a few weeks to get it all shaved off for summer. I’m anxious to see how it will turn out. total crack-up!!! So cute! He looks like my Lab Tucker. I have two & they are both dorks, but couldn’t love them any less. this is too cute…he looks like he cannot stop smiling…i love it! I’ve never left you a comment before, mostly because I don’t know you:)….but Waffle, well, he broke the ice with his cuteness. So I had to tell you that I wished I lived in Kansas just so I could meet him! hehe Stinking CUTE! We have a chocolate lab….. & I know dorky dogs. Ugh…. That hair cut is hilarious. He looks just like my yellow lab now. Melts my heart. Is he self conscious about the change? Please tell me you got photos of the “process”. Because I would LOVE to see that! Waffle looks younger! Like when a bearded man shaves his whole beard off. Very handsome, no wonder he’s strutting around like ‘he’s all that’! I love your dog! He is just to cute for words. I’m thinking of giving my dog a makeover now to. wow….what a difference! I’m sure Waffle is going to enjoy that hair cut for the summer. And you’re going to enjoy him being much easier to clean up afer those rainy muddy days……. OH – MY – GOSH!!! He looks so different but oh so soft! I can’t believe the change. I bet that was fun giving him the cut (assuming you did it). Have a great Sunday! i can feel her softness through my computer. she must act like a girl after a makeover. Does she strut different. she has to know how how great she looks. I need to know her groomer and need the same done to me. Wow! Who is this dog? OH MY GOSH! He is ADORABLE!!! My heart melted when I saw your first picture. He looks so grown up! He made my night! Just makes me smile. Such a handsome dog under all of the cute curly hair! HE LOOKS ADORABLE. I BET HE IS SOFT!!! What? That’s the SAME DOG??? That’s unbelievable! He looks great! Is Waffle a Doodle? We have a goldendoodle named Harvey and we call him the “foreign exchange dog” when we have to shave him down….he even acts like a totally different dog! We love him so much and think he is the greatest! I have heard from other doodle owners that they all feel the same way! Our guy’s name is Harvey, he is 4. I absolutely love waffle with all the hair.. 🙂 i think that the name fits him well! i like him without the hair as well but i think he should be “Pancake” now! 🙂 🙂 i think that fits with the no hair waffle! 🙂 Meg, did you take him to a groomer or do it yourself? He looks great! i just love waffle he makes me want a dog! I absolutely love your blog! I’ve been on here for nearly an hour trying to find a link to your etsy shop! Can you please email me the name or a link? Your home is GORGEOUS! Waffle is gorgeous! I was just about to say “Extreme Makeover- Doggie Edition!” But, Kim beat me to it! I love Waffle both ways! Wish I could pet his chenille coat! Wow. I thought he was a different dog. : ) Wow, what a makeover! He’s a cutie. Waffle is one of the funniest dog names I’ve ever heard!! I would not have believed he was the same dog- what a change! Such a happy guy :o) I saw Craig with him outside last night and couldn’t believe it was the same dog! He looks like a Lab now. Marley’s face and ears and tail are all still so fluffy… how did they shave Waffle’s ears and tail?! Very cute. haha look how happy he looks!! he look so much happier than your previous post! i love it!!! omg, that is NOT the same dog LOL!! Gosh, that it so darn cute!! I love that he REALLY DOES look proud of himself!!! haha, go waffle! The only thing that looks the same is the nose! Oh my goodness! Look at the transformation! He’s a new dog! I LUV my pillow! As for Waffle, he looks like an impostor! A very cute one. oh my gosh! that does not look like the same dog. both versions of waffle are cute as… a cute dog, though. all i can say is wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowo Oh my! He looks like two totally different dogs!!! He’s precious either way, but I LOVED his “curly” hair!! Wow! He looks so different! no. Awwwwwwww! Holy Moly!!! I can’t believe how much different he looks! Such a handsome boy. I think he looks great both ways! “Waffle” is seriously the best dog name ever. Who named him? He is SO cute, and those are great pictures!! Every time I try to get on the floor to take a picture of our dog, he comes bouncing over and I just get a picture of some fur. Waffle!! Waffle the coolest dog ever! How handsome and young he looks. He should have his own blog! He would have a huge following. Wow what a difference. I have to get my goldendoodle cut soon too, now I know he will look like a new dog! I love your pooch and, oh my gosh, how grown up does he look now? Are you sure you didn’t go borrow a different dog for pictures? heehee 🙂 He looks so handsome! You did a great job and he must be a great boy to have sat still for oyu to do it. Hi Meg! We have a maltipoo (not as big as Waffle) and he looks the same way before & after a haircut. My son doesn’t like it when we get him shaved. He is overweight & has a small head & Caden thinks he looks weird:) Did a groomer cut him or did Craig? Waffle is so cute and he has turned out to be HUGE! Haircut completely changes the look of a dog just like a person..lol Doesnt look AT ALL like the same dog. I wouldnt be surprised if people asked where Waffle was..lolol I love Waffle with and without hair. I still dream of getting a dog just like Waffle! Haven’t found him yet though. He is all that and a bag of chips and a hat and even a tee shirt! I LOVE IT… give him a big kiss! No waaaay!! He just dropped about 20 dog years 😉 Meg, I too would love to order some pillows —don’t know if that was a temporary deal for Cora or not but I could even pick them up —I’m super close- all my family lives in N-town. Let us know if you plan to do more. He is such a cute dog! What breed is he? Wow!!!! What a haircut!!!! I love it! We have a mini poodle (and who knows what else) who looks like Waffle only black hair, every time we shave him the cat won’t go near him for a few days thinking that we brought a new dog home. I am sure Waffle will enjoy his new cooler hair cut now that the weather is warming up. Wow! He doesn’t even look like the same breed anymore! Of course, he’s adorable both ways… Oh my goodness! He’s probably thinking I can see now! He is a very cute dog! SO awesome. Love the banner! Meg..I can’t find your etsy shop. I would like to order the red pillow with the white soft polka dots on the back…can you give me some info? I can’t believe that is the same dog~ Megan, are you absolutely SURE that the doggie salon didn’t make a mistake and return the wrong dog to you?! I hope you don’t mind that the picture of the big hairy Waffle is my computer screen’s background page. I crack up every time I look at that big silly dog with the eyeball glasses! And Mr.Sullivan just drools over his picture and keeps asking when we are going to get a dog…… Sue OMG HE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT HOW? IT’S A NOT SO NEW DOG oh he is soooo cute!!! now i must post this quickly before my three year old sees his picture and begins to ask for a doggie 😉 wow, it doesn’t look like the same dog! Wow! That is one of the best before and afters I’ve seen in a while! It has been fun seeing Waffle grow up on your blog! what a cute doggie!! He looks so sweet!! What kind of dog is he? SOOOOOOO stinkin’ CUUUUTE! He really looks like he is smiling! Waffle, you are a big dork… but I could eat your face off! You are precious, precious, precious… and Meg, if you were the one with the clippers you did a great job! Hope y’all have a great weekend!! my favorite? the one with his tongue hanging over the side. i wonder if he is noticing a whole new world out there. . . you can see his eyes now. what does he see? Um- I was like- oh they got a new dog! It’s like Extreme Makeover- Doggie Edition! What a cutie and you can so tell he is so proud of himself. Have a great weekend! waffle is a big, goofy, trash eating, cat chasing, puff ball dorky dog.  he is getting a haircut tonight…weather permitting.
i will miss that squiggle hair on top of his head.
but i will not miss the huge hair balls all over the house.
 he sits for treats really well.
and he shakes and sometimes he lays down.
on monday annie yelled "EWWWW…waffle just got dog lick on me! YUCK."
 annie wrote on his head with markers.
she said "i was giving him tatoos! he likes it!"
(he probably did actually…then he probably ate the marker when she was done)
   i love him very much.
except when i let him out on a rainy sunday morning in only my robe and slippers
and HE RAN AWAY.
it was a lovely site…chasing a dog while trying to hold my robe closed…
grabbing him by his tail…
then literally wrestling him to the ground and sitting on him to catch him…
dragging him inside by his collar in my slippers that were drenched from the rain.
yeah…didn't love him so much then.
but 99% of the time he is pretty great.
i can't wait to laugh at him when he gets his hair cut.
how do you get a black/grey value scale in tattoos? Hi. I have a heartshaped face, and today i’m getting my haircut. I was wondering if anyone could tell me some good ways to get it cut and give me some links of pictures. well please help! thanks in advance. i love your dog, hes so cute, i had a dog like him years ago. BAHAHA!!! that was funny!! Loved reading till here. Waffle makes some great before and after pictures 🙂 very fun and I don’t even like dogs. 🙂 Kelly okay, i started backwards. i saw the post waffle. and he is adorkable!!so i thought, wow that’s alot of fanfare for a dog groom! until i went back and saw the huge ball of fur waffle was!! i am (well, was) a huge fan of the little corkscrew thing going on on the top of his head, and i’m thinking a little crazy hair dye would have done him good!! i love annie. . . tattoos?? what a nut! i want to meet waffle. he seems like he has a good dog soul :] when he’s not running away in the middle of the rain. He is adorable! I can’t wait to see pictures of his new “do”! Did you leave the squiggly hairs on top for a waffle-hawk? Waffle is ADORABLE! That was a truly Adorable Post. I laughed outloud! Thank you for sharing Waffle, he is so Sweet. Jamie Oh you gotta post pictures of the post haircut Waffle. Have you seen Marley and Me? Puppies are so naughty, but bring so much joy! He’s adorable. What a sweetie! I’m sure he will look like a completely different dog after his cut. Sometimes they even act different. Isn’t that funny! What a cutie! Is it really true that they don’t shed? That would be amazing since they have so much of that adorable fluffy fur! He is very cute….sandy toe Waffle! Waffle! Waffle! I heart that cute little doggie. Thanks for sharing some pictures with us! I love Waffle! He is a perfect dog. We have two Golden Retrievers and our female Bailey is due for “little Waffles” at the end of May. We are so excited to have Goldendoodles. Please post a picture of Waffle after his haircut. handsome boy! Your Annie is such a little ham. She cracks me up! Hahahaha! Great post. My daughter Lauren, who’s two, always wants to see a picture of “Waffle” whenever I sit at the computer. I first saw him on another blog a few months back, that’s how I found your blog, and I showed her the picture. She LOVES him too. What a sweet boy. Dogs are the best. Especially big, goofy, silly dogs! Waffle is absolutely adorable!! Looks like he’s a good cuddling dog! Hahaha! What a story. Naughty dog! But your photos of Waffle are always priceless… love that fuzzy fluff… good luck with the haircut! Oh i love that dog! he will look funny after his haircut, but make sure to tell him how great he look no matter what! lol. which is why i don’t have a dog. chasing after 4 kids and a husband- even when it’s not raining and i’m fully dressed- is tough enough sometimes. 😉 I love your dog. I’m still begging the husband for one just like Waffle! I doubt that will happen. I can’t wait to see his hair cut! Although I love his hair like that. So cute! ;o) He looks so adorable he almost looks fake, like the best stuffed dog you could have. Let’s correct that last post. He’s so photogenic. Not to mention so lovable! Love your blog Meg! I absolutely love this dog. He’s so photogenic. Not so much loveable. Can’t wait to see him with his new do. I love these pictures! I once had to do the same thing- chasing down my dog. We has just moved to a new house. I was in sweats and no shoes and it was about 20 degrees and had just snowed outside. I guess he wanted to explore the new neighborhood. My sister finally caught him and it was luckily in my best friend’s yard. Had a hard time loving him that day. That last picture is great. It looks like he’s thinking “it’s so exhausting being me” PLEASE take pictures of the new doggie-haircut! I think Waffle and my little Pumpkin would be good friends! my kids want a dog like waffle…when..or…IF..we get another. he’s just so stinkin’ cute. i would love to see him next to our 4lb. teacup poodle!!! those would be some great shots! (they have similar coloring) I love that dorky dog, and I can sympathize with the bath robe incident. Our lab has put me in some compromising situations too! Ooooohhhh, I love Waffle 🙂 I have a teeny 7 lb furry terrier I feel that same way about him and we always laugh at him when he gets a haircut…he’s going tomorrow 🙂 don’t cut his hair he looks so cute!!!!!! I love your dog!! Oh! I want a “waffle” so bad! Yes, I know he would make me mad, but it might also provide entertainment for the neighbors around here as well. Fun picture of you out there! i scouted out some spots for emily's senior pictures but was feeling unsure. i was so releived when she said "i just want it to be where i wouldn't normally wear my prom dress."
YAY….we were off to the abandoned CO-OP.
    and wow…it smelled seriously bad…like manure.
but we sacrificed for the photo.
          emily….you made my job so easy.
your smile is so genuine.
i love all of these
but this one is my favorite….
   or these….
thanks emily.
my first senior pictures were a success!
(anyone know why pictures lose their color a bit when putting them on the blog?
these are so bright and vivid in iPhoto and then here they seem a bit washed out???
if you know….fill me in please. :)
seriously stunning!!! the photos and the subject!! fun fun pictures…makes me want to be a senior again…haahaahaa what a gorgeous young lady! Those are all fantastic, but the one of her in street clothes in the crook of the tree…sigh. She will cherish that one always. These pics are great! Very Down-to-Earth! I was wondering if you would be willing to take my son’s one year old pics and a few family shots? http://www.theschrags.blogspot.com Megan, these photos are absolutely wonderful. Not only is it impossible to select a favorite from what you’ve posted, I would imagine it will be all the more difficult when we see all you shot. Thank you for bringing such creativity to your session. And yes, the girl’s pretty cute, too. Thanks again for providing Emily with such a wonderful experience. A++++++++wesome! Love them! WHAT A LOVELY GIRL. ACTUALLY, YOUNG WOMAN. GREAT PICTURES Gorgeous. those prom dress/urban shots look like a fashion editorial. What fun senior pictures! Wonderful job, Meg! are you a professional photographer, Meg? If not, you should! You are such an incredible genius! I love, love, love your photos! You made your subject so very beautiful! 🙂 Amazing, I have the same prob ,dying to get my hands on photoshop and a decent camera! Love love love these!!i Yeah, to get consistent color, you need to calibrate. And not use iPhoto 🙂 Have you gone to manual on your camera yet? That’ll help too. And have you ever been over to ilp? The best thing ever, I promise! So many helpful people! Okay… love the one where she is hugging her knees (B+W) and her toes are sticking out, great photo! also the one in the red doorway with the interesting light play. Those are great Meg! My favorites are with the pink background and the one in the tree (that’s my ultimate favorite). What a great idea to have her pictures done in her prom dress. Does everyone in that area do that? They don’t do it here, but I love the idea (too bad my daughter graduated last year!). Meg, those are gorgeous. Really. I wish my senior pictures had been one iota as cool. Instead I look like I am about to commit mass murder on my way to Tony and Tina’s Wedding. Thanks for sharing these! Great job. I like the barefeet with the dress better than the flipflops. So SO beautiful…the pictures and Emily 🙂 gorgeous! you totally rocked it. Go Meg! Go Meg! Go Meg! and the chants go on and on 🙂 Wow! Beautiful! Great Pics! Very pretty..I love her sitting on the tree looking out..lovely. MEGAN! OH MY GOSH I LOVEEEE THEM! beautiful girl. I am off to find my prom dress and a stinky alley! Meet me there! beautiful girl, beautiful photography! Fabulous shots! These pictures look great! I want to take some like this in my wedding dress… I just have to have this baby first. 🙂 But my hubs is getting deployed 2 months after the baby is born so I figure if I can lose the weight in time, pictures like that would be cool to send to him in Iraq. I also love the new blog header!!! cute girl…great photos! it happens to me, too. i was using a blogger for my photog blog and bagged it and am building a site for my business that will include a blog function. it seems it is when a photo has been *edited* for color- anytime i do that they get washed out. blogger does a terrible job interpreting color. i don’t know about typepad. it happens to me, too. i was using a blogger for my photog blog and bagged it and am building a site for my business that will include a blog function. it seems it is when a photo has been *edited* for color- anytime i do that they get washed out. blogger does a terrible job interpreting color. i don’t know about typepad. love the combination of fancy and earthy…really nice. These are amazing. I just love the one of her leaning up against the building. She is beautiful. Awesome job…you’ve become quite the photographer, I just got a decent camera 4 months ago and my friend has already asked me to take her daughter’s senior pics…we’ll see how it turns out! Awesome pictures! As always. I love the one in front of the red door.(with the sunlight) If you ever find yourself in South Carolina, you MUST let me know. Great photos and she looks absolutely divine!! I love the one in the tree and the ones with the window by her!!!!! Awesome job meg. Those are great! fabuloso job! My favorite is the one against the red door. I love it when someone is really into messing around (as she seems to be!) – it’s so much easier than when they’re barely tolerating having their picture taken. Moniter calibration; iPhoto has default settings that may not transfer over to those on typepad.com. What an infectious smile. She’s absolutely darling. And, your photography is fantastic! i have the same prob…i think it’s just the way the monitor displays them. What a beauty, and I love the photos! She’s beautiful and what a great dress..and especially love the flipflops with the dress 🙂 You did great! I love these! Wow! She is Gorgeous and you did a Superb Job! Congratulations. jamie Gorgeous! Great job Meg!
that i could go to wendy's…
 for a fwwosty…
 a chocolate one….
 not the mixed kind…
 and i wish for micah and lizzie to come over….
 and watch peep.
great pictures. i just love this post. my 4 year old anya has been making wishes every day. things like: “i wish for a play date with jackson.” “i wish for cupcakes.” “i wish mommy will be my best friend forever.” that last one brought a tear to my eye. by the way, love the new look with the froggy photo – just awesome! The series is so great……. So, so sweet. Thank you for sharing. Gorgeous photos. I wish you were closer to CT! I’d love for you to take pictures of my babies. Oh I love this post!!! We made wishes on dandelions just yesterday!!! Only our’s was for a Master Yoda?????!!!!! Great pics! The pictures are so precious. Its amazing how a little thing like that can brighten your day! She is SUCH a cutie pie! No wonder so many of your photos are of her. so sweet! Hey Meg, I just posted about my pillow, thanks again! Best picture post ever. 🙂 Love it. I’m so jealous of your camera and picture taking abilities! Precious!!! Your blog is so sweet and refreshing! I just love visiting here each day! aw man… precious!! I am so glad that little Annie is my neighbor! so sweet! What a cutie pie! I am new to reading your blog, it is great by the way!! I was wondering what your Etsy shop is? I can not find it on your blog. oh my. she is too much. so sweet!! did the wishes come true?!? everyone needs fwosties and friends! Just wanted to say Hi! You have a blog that inspired me to start my own…thanks 🙂 Awww! I hope all her wishes come true! Now I want a frosty…great pics! soooooo?????????? wish come true?? Beautiful… just beautiful. Absolutely Precious! Thank you Ugh, could her little haircut be any cuter?! Those are adorable! Oh, to have the wishes of children and to be so happy with simple things! Very cute! I see that you won something on the Creative Blog – what did you win? so sweet! i wouldn’t mind a fwwosty… they have coffee kinds now 🙂 i wish… I don’t blame her. I want a fwwrosty too!! so beautiful. oh my gosh what a series for printing! i was just watching a photography video and the woman who was teaching was using her home (and photos of her children) as a kind of “gallery” of family photos to show clients. she does this to give them ideas about what they can do with the photos she takes of their children and she had the most wonderful HUGE, HUGE canvases and lots of adorable series like this one of annie. you should consider that for your wonderful home…. and your growing photography business 🙂 gorgeous! did her wishes come true? how can you say no to a face like that? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! i miss the days maddie was that little and life was that simple! 🙂 those are some of my favorite pictures I have EVER seen!! smile…. this video will make you grateful for every girlfriend you have.
i cried both times.
i love ALL the women in my life…so dearly.
(i found this at the starnes family…
i couldn't find you first name on your blog anywhere…btw…on purpose maybe?)
don't you LOVE that video?
i wish i could hug every girlfriend i have….right now!
I loved the video. It is so true and so sweet. Friendships are amazing!!! I got all teary reading that and sent it to my best girlfriend. Thank you! I needed that! You made me cry!! I’m so putting that on my blog…if I can figure out how. Thank you:) I cried. As usual for me. Never knew I was such a sap until recently, but this is beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Dear Meg, What an incredible tribute to true friendships and for many of use….the road that is still to come. I have seen this before, and there are tears every time. Women are AMAZING. We need to remember that…that we are in this “thing” together…who cares if you breast feed or bottle feed, stay at home or go to work, are fat or thin, rich or poor…WOMEN need to support WOMEN. We need to replace judgement with prayer. We are such a beautiful tribe, and could not survive with out the love and support of one another. I love this! So perfect. Thank you for posting. I was fine until the last 40 seconds…Love this. amazing. thanks so much for posting that video. kelly is an inspiring writer. beautiful…. and just when i was missing a girlfriend terribly. Hey, Meg! No, no mystery or purpose here…..it’s Casey from The Starnes Family. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I have watched it many times and still cry. I have seen this several times and love it more every time I see it. That was amazing. Sent it on. Thanks so much 🙂 Thank you for the Blessing!- I didn’t realize how much I needed it!- perfect timing! oh i love it! thanks for posting. makes me miss my friends and be sooo grateful for the ones i have! I cried too… beautiful beautiful words. Thank you from southern England (High School Musical soundtrack playing here too, somewhere in the distance from the kids’ bedroom!) yes, i have seen this. Wow! What thanks for posting that! Definitely going to be sharing it with the women in my life. Love your blog! (I’ve been lurking for a while.) so sweet~ Loved, loved, loved this video. With oh so much going on in life (especially a woman’s life) this is so…true. *sigh* Thanks much for sharing with us! <3 Wow, thanks so much for sharing! What a blessing. Sending hugs to you…     i took the kids to see grandma and grandpa.
my nieces were there…and my sister too.
we went swimming…shopping…ate too much.
all good stuff.
the big deal was "when is the egg hunt grandma?"
over and over.
we had to dye the eggs first….
   waiting….waiting….waiting….
    it wasn't too messy at all this year. they hid them and found them…and hid them and found them…
i think they did that four times.
we had two really nice days to play.
my mom made coconut cake!
sooooo good.
i went to get the kiddos into bed and walked in on this….
 these three working on a word find book TOGETHER…taking turns…and giggling.
and the words were all names of famous artists.
it just cracked me up.
good to see you mom, dad and lorel.
can't wait for next month….
Hi Meg, I think my son has a cruch on Annie. He wanted me to keep it on her picture for a very long time. She is very cute. LOVE your new frog header. I enjoy your visiting your blog…. very inspiring! I love how they hide them over and over! So fun! You always get the best angles on your pictures. so cute! i really missed having a normal easter this year with us on the road, but we were all together and that was priceless! great shots. These are great. Absolutely had a great time with all the grandkids and kids under our roof. Lauren helped me hide the eggs the first time, and Scott was so fast finding his eggs, he was off doing his thing before the camera could find him. Thanks so much for coming! We had a perfect sunny day Saturday! Hi Meg – I found your blog through Etsy – a lady asked me to make her a sign and she wrote that she had found my shop through this blog – so I just wanted to say THANKS!!! – I couldn’t find the exact post – because I got sidetracked looking at your awesome photos of your house – love your kitchen and bathroo, but especially your craft room! 🙂 And now I have to go pick up from preschool! Love the colors of your holiday- glad it was happy! I love the new header! What fun pictures! Looks like a really great time. Awesome colors in your photos! I always loved Easter as a kid. The eggs, the candy, the reason, it’s all good. Love love love the new froggy header! Happy Easter to you and your fam! Happy Easter to you and your family. Thank you for the colors. pictures. and New Life your blog has brought into my own home! Love the Easter pictures. So glad you got to spend it with family! Megan, I am enthralled with the containers you used to put the egg dye in. What are they? It has been a tradition for my husband, son, and I to color Easter eggs every year since Dan was little. The only time we didn’t all three do it together was when he was still away at school He is now 23 and home from CA, so we did it together on Sat. He said it was still fun, so I hope he carries the tradition on when he has his own family some day. Your pictures are beautiful! I love the colors. My pictures don’t seem to capture the vivid color yours does. What great colors! Love it! |

Julie - I love this happy picture! I bought sidewalk chalk yesterday because of it and I don’t have kids. Not sure what I’m going to do with them, but $5! There’s gotta be more than 5 bucks worth of something fun to do with them…Your blog has been a happy discovery for me. Thank you!
Michelle - Your daughter makes me smile! She is so cute.
My 7 year old daughter seems to have similar fashion sense–whatever feels good and makes her happy is what she wants to wear. My husband, who admittedly is bothered sometimes by her outrageous fashion sense, said she looks like a walking crayola box and hence nicknamed her “Crayola”. Of course, she finds this hilarious!
Anyway, after I saw your post about the sidewalk crayons, I had to get them for her as a special treat! Thanks!
Carrie K - greatest picture EVER!!
shes such a sweet kid and a fantastic dresser…the socks are my favorite part!! heeheeheee
julie - i’ve read your blog for awhile. I love it! we actually have your husband’s pancakes almost every weekend! 😉 Just had to come out of lurkerville…that picture is so stinkin ADORABLE! I love all your shots…but this one takes the cake.
Julie in Washougal, WA
Linda@ Restyled Home - That picture brings tears to my eyes, it is so adorable. You are brilliant to do it. Mine would look like a generic stick figure, but I am so inspired I just might copy you anyway. Of course, I will give you full credit…maybe they will think you did the awful drawing!! 🙂
You are such a sweet mum, even if you do yell when you get a migraine. Thank goodness for that, or else I’d just feel bad about myself…!!!!
Cheers,

gina - I did see those last Thursday a t WalMart… and now I’m going to go back and BUY them.
Tracy - Annie is just a doll, Meg! I look forward every day to seeing what you are going to have on your blog from the day before and sharing in your day to day lives. I love seeing what clothes she throws together! You may just have a future fashionista on your hands! My daughter, when she was young, did the same thing and now she looks like she just stepped out of a magazine and is only 15! She sure didn’t get it from me because I personaly prefer tshirts and jeans any day over dressing up! HA! I guess she got her taste from her friends and from the fashion magazines – which, ironically, she wants to be when she grows up – a fashion designer! Have a great day, Meg! Hugs, Trac~ :o)
Beth - Love that and gotta try that crayon/chalk. Do you have one of those spin-art chalk things from crayola?
emily :] - i lovee sidewalk chalk. is that okay for an eighteen year old? & i’m going out & buying that asap.
Aubrey - that’s cute–you made her dress, didn’t you?
Christy - Annie is so stinkin cute! I always love her outfits.
That chalk looks awesome. I will have to get some. Not pastel like the normal chalk, cool! My son loves to make houses with his chalk.
Margaret - We love sidewalk chalk around here. I may have to go get some of that. My son has a chalkboard wall in his room, and he often uses sidewalk chalk on it.
Sarah - Fantastic!
I love sidewalk chalk 🙂
And i love the self portrait!
Trina McNeilly - These look fabulous.. we love sidewalk chalk.
You lucky thing you… going to U2 in Chicago.. I was suppose to go to that very one but am not now.. it is a very sore spot so I shall leave it at that.
I am with you with the dreaming of getting pulled up on stage….maybe you should pray about it… God will give you the desires of your heart — ha ha!
Have a great week!

those dog photos….i can’t believe it’s the same dog!
he is wonderfully goofy.
a thorn among roses - those are cute…and my girlie pies love the more pattern and more colorful look too! well, so do i, for them anyway!
Erin - Meg, I really enjoy scrolling through your blog & looking at your photos. You have such a great eye for detail & composition. Thank you for sharing what you see with us!
erica - ok first of all your little girl dresses EXACTLY how i always imagined my daughter (whenever i have one LOL) will dress! i LOVE little girls with their own style! and second those sidewalk crayons look so cool! i’ll have to try them out, my 2 yr old little boy will love them!
Meredith - She is truly the most photogenic child isn’t she? I’ll be on the look out for those crayons, but I’m not sure that we’ll have them in Australia yet. (We’re usually at least six months behind in K-mart stock)
Kristen - Adorable!
N. - lol! I have a 4.5 year old who dresses very similarly…
Kate - man, i would’ve loved that as a kid, because sidewalk chalk in general is hard to hold, or was that just me? and the crayon shape seems like it’d be easier to grasp. plus the whole brighter colors. i do love me some brightness.
and she has the BEST fashion sense. i love it.

Wendy - Ooo! I need some of those! I might even let my daughter play with them…
As always, your daughter is adorable!
Joni - What a CUTE photo….LOVE IT! And I miss the days of having kids young enough to get happy about sidewalk chalk…maybe I’ll just go buy ME some! Hehehe! Your little gal has some talent!
XOXO

Courtney - I totally bought those last week and my kids are working through them FAST. They are so much more interesting than the blah colors that used to be out there. They (Crayola)also have a pack of chalk that has way more colors… like 40 or something… it’s good too! Also, I just made a video with the song “She’s a Rainbow”, so could we be more on the same page? Here’s the vid:

Staci - Cooool! Gonna pick some up tomorrow when I make one of my tri-weekly stops to Target or Walmart 🙂 BTW—Love Waffles new look 🙂 We got our little Westie, Mac, his first cut last week…and when we picked him up…it took a lot of convincing to my little Jake that it REALLY was our Mac!!!!!!
Kat - I love that picture! So adorable!!!
leigh babcock - Wow! She is so cute! I’ll have to get these soon.
Thanks!

MGF - Might have to run to Walmart this evening, thanks for sharing. The normal chalk is dull colors and there are so many here.
Starnes Fam - How fun! Have not seen these, but will check them out. Thanks!
Vera - That picture is great. We HAVE TO get some of those crayons – my girls will FLIP for them!! Thanks!
CherryTreeLane - I love this!
Julia - That’s the cutest picture – her socks are adorable.
I’ve noticed that when someone compliments me on something I instantly say “Walmart $6” or just plain “Target” and nothing else. On Easter a girl at church complimented me on my dress and I just looked at her and said “Target” , nodded my head like “you heard me”, and walked away. It’s like some sort of code. So you saying “Walmart $5” means maybe “Can you believe it? I was just walking by the crayola display and I saw them and I couldn’t leave them there. And only for $5!”
sandy toe - How cute~

Kelly - I think I might need some of these for ME! 🙂
What a great self portrait!
