Baby E {Photoshoot} & Giveaway WINNERS!

Charlene6 Comments
So, I thought of calling these photos her 'Spring Photos,' but then I remembered I already posted her 'Spring Photos.' Hmm...thought about calling them her 'Easter Photoshoot,' but a little too late for that. Guess we'll call it the 'Just Because Photoshoot!'

  • Just because she's freakin' adorable
  • Just because I wanted to practice portraits with my macro lens
  • Just because it was a beautiful day
  • Just because she turned 5 months old yesterday! {ahh, the 5 month post coming soon}
  • Just because I really wanted to tease you with these before announcing the winners of the giveaway ;)

So, for no reason other than 'just because,' enjoy these pretty little pictures!

I may have had a little happy dance last night when I sold my first invitation in less than 24 hours of posting.

Blogaversary & The Barrtique SHOP LAUNCH!

Charlene3 Comments
Happy Blogaversary to Becoming the Barr's!
becoming the barr's blogaversary

I started 'Becoming the Barr's' exactly one year ago today. And what an adventure it's been for me!
Check out my first post here.

This was started to keep family and friends in the loop after moving out of state for my husband's medical school career, as well as to track our way through the wedding planning phase. I do miss that phase! Wedding planning was wonderful for me - and now we're sticking around the blog world so you can get a peek inside our newlywed life. I do hope you enjoy!

I've learned so much in the blogging world, and have become inspired by all the fellow bloggers. This past year has brought about a new love for writing, photography, baking, decorating, and creating more than I ever have -- and I am thankful for all the joy that this blog has in turn brought to my life. Let's hope for more years of blogging, creativity, and inspiration in all I do -- especially when we move to The W (pronounced The 'Dub-ya')!

~~~

And now for some exciting news ---

The BARRTIQUE has officially been launched.


becoming the barr's the barrtique

It's a little etsy shop with personalized goods & handmade accessories.
Check it out, and be sure to tell your friends about The Barrtique.

I have many ideas for this, but all will have to come in due time -- ya know, because I have to work around this boring ole thing called a job ;)
