Dylan's first haircut

 Autumn wouldn't be right if we didn't go to the pumpkin patch!

 pieces of my heart :)

 I'm surprised he sat still long enough for me to take the picture

 ...her too

 Ava wasn't feelin' the whole hands in the grass thing...lol

I'm so proud of her...all she wanted to do was walk :)

Happy Autumn

I've been looking forward to Autumn, but as today arrived with nimbus clouds my mood was not cheerful...more like melancholy.  *sigh* At least my wreath is purrty.

Happy September!

Bonjour Lovelies!

I'm looking forward to a few special events this month:

• 9/15 is my earthday
• 9/19 is my love day (anniversary)
• 9/23 is the 1st day of Autumn (Autumnal Equinox)

What are you looking forward to in the month of September?

Red For A Chocolate Goddess

Good Day Beauties!

tea.elle.pea 2011

I'm so ready for Autumn...totally over this heat & humidity.  I embrace all that nature has for us, however, I'd prefer Spring/Autumn any day.  From a fashion standpoint, Autumn brings, cardigans, corduroys, and fly ass boots. It's soooo much easier to dress and wear your threads comfortably during the cooler months.  From a science (y'all know I'm a science geek) standpoint, Autumn continues the seasonal cycle by returning the leaves back to the ground and provide nourishment to the earth.  Before they become food for soil dwelling organisms, they provide us with a gorgeous color spectrum show.  Displaying a myriad of red, orange, yellow, and brown hues.  Basically, they're going out with a bang! LOL.  To me, nature allows us to see the beauty in death via this season.  But I digress.

Change of season means a change in clothes, hair, and even makeup.  My hair is short and curly now, but this time last year is when I started twisting or braiding it.  I usually polish my nails/toe-nails some tone of red.  I wanna be a lil' edgy this Autumn and switch my everyday nude lip color for a bang-up RED. Yup, chocolate goddesses can rock that red too...hehehe.  I'm just unsure of what shade would compliment my skin-tone. Should I be looking for a deep red hue (burgundy...or like my husband says, Cranberry lol) or should I be looking for something reminiscent of a fire truck? IDK.  Suggestions please and thank you.  :-)
