Ice Cream, Boutique's & Giveaways!

Today was so much fun!  TJ and I had a couple photo shoots earlier today in Huntersville and then in the South Park area.  Instead of going home in between shoots, we decided to have lunch and do errands.  I love days like this!  One of the shoots we did today was at a really cute clothing boutique called Apricot Lane in the Birkdale Village.  They had such great clothes, including Free People.  I so wanted to try on some of the dresses and tops, but this was not one of those days! :-(  Nevertheless, I am glad to know about this little shop.  I may have to mosey on up there sometime in the future!

The rest of the day consisted of Aldi, The Pizza Peel (great place in Charlotte), Dairy Queen, & Ben & Jerry's.  Yes, I had 2 Ice cream's!!!  My FAVORITE at Dairy Queen is chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles on top.  However, every DQ doesn't carry chocolate icecream.  So, when I find one that does, i get some!  Then we remembered it was Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry's (how could we pass this up?).  I was in heaven!  Below you can see me with my two ice creams. :-)

We arrived right before school was let out, so the lines were SUPER fast.

Here I am with my two treats.  Lucky girl!

THIS is my favorite.  Yummm!

A little self portrait work at our shoot at Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry. LoL!

Alrighty, so I have some really fun giveaways coming soon!  You will definitely want to keep checking back for when they are posted.  I am excited to venture into giveaways, it's going to be great!

Day 4: Not as successful

In general, Sunday's are not the most productive day for me.  After going to church and eating lunch, it's usually a smooth sailing, relaxing day.  So, I must admit, I did not "workout" yesterday.  I did, however, eat 3 great meals and even grocery shopped for lots of yummy fruits & veggies from Aldi.  It was also our first day of doing our taxes, so that is enough of a mind workout. LoL.

For dinner I made an AMAZING Chicken Tortilla Soup that Rebekah w/ Tirzah Photography told me about.  You can read my blog post about that here.

Breakfast: Blueberry bagel & bananas

 Lunch: Salad topped w/ red, yellow, & orange peppers and balsamic dressings, and a bowl of oranges and strawberries! Mmmmm.  All fruits and veggies.

Dinner: Chicken Tortilla Soup topped w/ avocado, cheese, and sour cream.  Here is the recipe.
