Maternity Photo Shoot Part I

Hey everyone, a little over a month ago a dear friend of mine took maternity photos of me! I was her first shoot and was so honored. She took photos of me in my home as well as in a near by field. The photos turned out just as fabulous as I thought! She is very talented and captured my vision exactly in these photos! You can become a fan on Facebook and check out her other shoots.

HOW TO make Hot Wings!

Hey everyone! Hope you all are having a fab. weekend! Here is a recipe for how I make Hot Wings.

                                                              Ingredients:

Hot Sauce, Chicken Wings, Butter, Ranch Seasoning Powder

Ok, first cut up the chicken wings. Then put them into a large bowl and pour the Hot Sauce.(your choice)

Melt about 4 table spoons of butter and add to the chicken wings and hot sauce.

Let the wings marinate in the sauce and butter as long as you wish. I let them marinade for about an hour and that will achieve a mild taste. If you like them hotter then I recommend leaving them longer.

Once they have marinated as long as you wanted them. Preheat your oven to 475 degrees.

I made 5lbs of wings and I cook them for 30 min. If you like them crispy you could leave them for about 45 min.

Put the wings in an oven safe platter.

Then you will sprinkle the Ranch seasoning powder on the wings. [as much as you like] I use the entire package.

Now they are ready to go into the oven, for 30 min. at 475 degrees.

Once they are ready they should look like this!

Enjoy!!! If you have any questions feel free to ask! Have a great weekend! xoxo-J

Wish List

Hey everyone...Ok, so here is my current wish list, yes current, I always WANT something! lol.. xoxo-J

Ok, so after 2 yrs. of searching for the perfect dining room set for us, I FOUND IT!!!! It's so perfect for the theme of our home, and the color is perfect. I just love the way it has the lion paws on the bottom of every chair, that's my favorite part! I need to have this ASAP!

This is the camera that I'm hoping to get in the near future. I sooo want this camera because the quality of the pictures will be sooo much better than what my current camera has. I would love to have this camera before my baby is born so that I can have nice quality, clear photos of him/her. This would also help with my blog pictures, allowing them to be of much clearer quality. Also, I just love the way the camera looks!!  It is a little pricey, but I wouldn't need another camera again for a LONG while!

To conclude my wish list, are these black leather cowboy boots! Love them! I'm from Texas so I have to have cowboy boots! I already have black ones but they are colored from the top. So I have been wanting just plain black boots for dresses, and these are the ones I love!.....  Thanks for letting me share my current obsessions with you all. What are your current obsessions??  xoxo-J
