Family Photos: My late-summer Target shopping fun!

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I live-grammed (and yes, I just invented that cool word…) my last classic shopping trip of the summer last Friday. I had a doctor’s appointment that morning, so I decided to make a fun day of it. And what screams fun more than a hair cut and some quality Target time…?

As you can see, my hair had reached unruly, bordering-on-jungle-messy territory. It had reached Defcon 5 levels, and I had to do something before things got even more out of control.

As you can see, my newly cut hair made me feel like a new woman. I felt refreshed, calm and cool as a cucumber, I was in the perfect state of mind to cruise up and down the lovely aisles of Target.

I was there with a mission: School supplies. Oh, those signs kept luring me closer and closer to all the goodies.

Even though it’s been years since I sat in a classroom, but I still become as giddy as a schoolgirl every year. All those notebooks, pens, pencils and composition books are so intoxicating.

It’s incredibly too easy to do massive amounts of damage in just a short amount of time, as you can see from our cart — and from Wednesday’s Video Hello (watch for it…).

And of course, Harry had to check out the new toaster oven that we bought. It passed his inspection.

So, friends, are you a big fan of back-to-school shopping, even if you’re not exactly in school anymore? What have you been buying at Target lately? Any fun, cool or interesting finds? I’d love to hear about it! xoxo

Peek Inside: My first week on Instagram

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I’ve been one busy bee this past week. I’ve been snapping, snapping and — you guessed it — snapping away as I learn the ropes of this social media playground. Well, the early reviews are in, and it’s a hit, to say the least. I thought only my blog could give me those classic self-actualization moments, but it looks like I was quite wrong. Over the last week, I’ve learned a few things about myself. One, I am completely, there’s-no-going-back addicted to Instagram — who knew it would only take a week? And two? Well, it seems my favorite types of photos fall into two categories…

I love to capture Harry and Stella in their cutest poses; doesn’t Harry look like a cat model? He’s such a poser…

And, I apparently have a thing for food photography — again, who knew?

What types of photos dominate your Instagram, friends? Do you find yourself documenting a certain aspect of your life the most? What was the last photo you took? xoxo

P.S. Speaking of Instagram, if you take a gander to your left, you’ll notice a couple slight changes. I’ve had Jenny from Maiedae make an Instagram button to go with the rest of my social media icons and a beautiful “email me” box. Translation: You can connect with me even easier now. Thanks so much, Jenny! :)

My new smartphone: What are your favorite apps? (And, yes! I’m on Instagram!)

Well, friends, it’s quite the big day for me! One word: New smartphone! My faithful Blackberry served me well for some three years, but it was time to move on up in the technological world. Getting a new phone is big for me; I mean, you all know about my tenuous relationship with change.

But! I’m jumping in — or, I’m trying to, at least. I’m finally catching up with the rest of the universe and joining Instagram. You can follow all my adventures here (my IG is melissablake81), and I’m so excited to probably get addicted to it.

My new Samsung Galaxy smartphone is all shiny and pretty, but other than Instagram, I still have it programmed to all the factory settings. I feel a bit lost and overwhelmed (is that how people felt when the Internet first came along?). There’s just so much you can do on these phones; it’s pretty wild. I’d love to add some fun apps, and would love to hear your recommendations. Which ones are your favorite? Which ones do you use most often? Thanks, and I’ll see you on Instagram, friends! xoxo

P.S. OH! And don’t forget to let me know your IG so I can follow you!! :)
