Apparently, cream sitting in a pitcher will sour after fours days. Not only will it do that (accelerated by four days of heat), but it will drive your husband nuts with its sour smell and my inability to clean-up after a shoot. Truly it is the most loathesome part of shooting. I’m so over it by the time I’m done, I just want to walk away and edit.
These Banana Nutella Pastry Pockets are an oldie from this post here. It’s a family favorite, especially for me since it’s so easy to make.
Little League is in full gear. Check out the little guy—love that face and the concentration.
And see the coach, I’m still trying to sneak him away for a kid-less weekend. If anyone knows of a great weekend getaway, please leave a comment.
Speaking of baseball, last weekend we were at a Dodgers game. Good times with the boys. Yes, boys, that’s my stepson – he’s pretty awesome. This may be the only time you see him on here for reasons that are beyond my control. But I thought it was time that he at least make a cameo. Even if it’s just his feet walking through Chinatown before the game.
If you followed me on the old Instagram feed than you know I had a shadowy obsession. Well, it’s back.
Meet my latest lunch time pal, Mortie. He doesn’t even twitch when we go by, so i decided to see what he would do if I photographed him. No reaction. None. Wonder if he’s hard of hearing.
Last week I mentioned sharing some of my fave Etsy shops for sourcing props for food photography, but even if you are not a food blogger, you might still enjoy the vintage and rustic pieces found in the shops listed below:
Welcome to my cozy corner where baking meets random thoughts and musings. I’m a self-taught baker sharing all things sweet (and some savory—okay, and cocktails) with a whisk in one hand and a camera in the other. 
Great baseball and shadow shots, and I’m loving those pockets. Thanks for sharing your fave Etsy shops!
I am in love with some of those etsy shops but I am sad that i live in Aus! Postage kills me! Lovely family and life update; as always with stunning photos.
He’s so cute:)
I just have to say..I cannot resist..
My little grandsons play sports and I only see them on the field..:)
That cream would have made a lovely farmer’s cheese! I use a ratio of 3:1 milk to cream.
How very flattering to be one of your favorite Etsy shops!
Thank you for the mention, I have some really amazing vintage treasures set to preview at stilllifestyle.com next week, too!
Those baseball shots are so great! He looks so into it! I am so exited to go and check out your Etsy shops. I have been waiting for it since you mentioned it last week!
Thank you so much for sharing your resources to food props… you truly have the best eye and I love love love your taste!!! That picture of your sweet boy is just gorgeous! Those eyes! And I TOTALLY agree about cleaning up after shooting!!! I have a pie on my counter that I made 8 days ago. It doesnt seem to be molding so it may sit there another day. 😉
Love the pictures! Your little guy is so adorable! Off to check out the Etsy shops!
Your son running the bases is a awesome shot!! Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your other side of life!!
Are you living inside my head? I feel exactly the same at the end of a photo shoot! I just want the mess to disappear so I can get to my computer to see what I shot and edit!!
P.S. Your son is just so cute in his little football outfit.
Well, I can tell you from my misspent teenage years that milk sitting in a mug will mould after four weeks and smell like baby sick.
Love the expression on your little one — so priceless
