Oh Happy Day Paris Giveaway!

Ok, check this out, folks! My top favorite blogger, Jordan Ferney of Oh Happy Day, is giving away a trip to Paris! I realize it's a major long shot, but it would be SO awesome to win... and someone has to win it, right?

Here are the magic details from Jordan: "I feel super lucky that this is my job and I couldn’t do it without all the lovely people that read Oh Happy Day. So I wanted to do something fun to give back. As a thank you I am doing a giveaway for a 7 DAY TRIP FOR TWO TO PARIS, FRANCE! It’s true. I’ve put together a major giveaway that includes 7 night stay at Mama Shelter, the hippest boutique hotel in Paris. Roundtrip Airfare from the continental United States to Paris, France. And on top of that I will personally host the winner for two days and take them around to my favorite spots in Paris." All of the details are right here: http://ohhappyday.com/2011/06/goes-to-paris/

And just in case a PARIS GIVEAWAY doesn't make her the coolest girl ever, here are a few top fave posts she's done!

I haven't been to Paris since 2003 and it'd be a dream come true to go again!! Here's a (lomo) photo from my last visit. 

City Living

We did a bit of exploring while our friend John was in town for a conference. Here are the 2 cityscape photos I took. Super happy with them. Happy Friday!! I'll be photographing the costume contest at the Bay to Breakers on Sunday! Hope you have a fun weekend, too!

 

Easter Times!

We had such a fun time up at my folks' house last weekend. My mom, the boy, and I dyed easter eggs Saturday in anticipation of the Easter Bunny. My mom made 3 natural dyes: turmeric, beets, and blueberries. And a combo of turmeric and blueberries for green! We used brown and white eggs and all had a great time coloring 'em up!

The egg hunt was a success. We hid a dozen eggs in the front yard and I took a few photos. He loved it- once he got past the basket with new fun things, including bubbles! Anyone with a toddler knows that bubbles are magic, they are the secret weapon of fun! So we did bubbles for a bit and finally were able to convince him to look around for some eggs. Yay! He totally got into it and it was so cute! Few things create a speechless situation, but for some reason, the boy was stunned every time he saw an egg! He'd point and grunt 'mmmm' 'mmmmm.' And then he scoop up the egg and drop them into the basket. I think he cracked every egg. 

What did you do for Easter?
