it's the simple things...

I love to see things through a camera...
Like my hair, when I just rolled out of bed...

Or the way my flowers look, in my new wooden vase...


The light coming through the window on a scorching hot day...

The plumpness of raspberries, and the caramelization of the walnuts, on top of fresh greens...


Muscular The Tedward cooking me dinner...


A detail of the kitschy bowl I got at a thrift store...


Piles of soft pillows of various patterns....



Seeing his wedding ring, when he is doing a task...

Totally made me smile. I am ALL about the simple things.

Shayla said...

... and now I'm craving raspberries.

Monica said...

Those Raspberries look DELISH & JUICY!! I liked this post. Simple :)

Clint & Alicia McLaws said...

I'm so jealous that your hair looks that great when you're just out of bed. Mine doesn't even look that good after I've "styled" it :p

Melissa said...

Great pics! Your bedding is so cute!

Marissa said...

Catching my husband's ring out of the corner of my eye makes me happy too :)

Nancy Face said...

Squeee!!! This is so happy to read after a long day on my feetsies at the salon!

It would be even happier if I was eating that salad! ;)

RatalieNose said...

I LOVE your photog skills!!!
Can I steal them?

Marianne said...

Happy things indeed! Fun post!

Valley Girl said...

I love, love, love the throw pillows! And those rasberries are making me hungry!

Tori :) said...

I wish I had a good camera, although that probably wouldn't make me have any sweet skills like you...

Al said...

Oh this post really made me smile. Love your photog skills. And really is that how good your hair looks when you roll out of bed, I'm totally impressed!

derrickadee said...

Lauren you really do take simple, beautiful pictures! I hope you can really hone in on this :)

I love that bowl, btw. I love woodland creatures. I am also weird. The end.

I love this post! I was in such a bad mood....I will disclose details to you later but I read this and it lightened my mood and now I feel blissful:) I love you!

Haylee Abney said...

Love your bedding! And where did you get those flowers/vase?! I would say where did you get your cute hubby too, but that would be weird..chirpchirp. just kidding. Haha. OH and hello it does not look like you just rolled out of bed!

Sean and Steph said...

Your bedhead is better than my "took 10 minutes" hair :) Love the pictures, great job!

Jill said...

Love the bed! But where's the pink? :(
Would the Tedward dig one little pink pillow in the middle of it all?

Lil' Woman said...

Your hair looks good. When I roll out of bed I look like Medusa!

nikole said...

So I just stumbled upon your blog the other day.. started off @ Laurens Bite because I am also a twilight nerd & LoVe that I'm not the only one with a "pocket Edward" and somehow made my way here. Anyway after reading said blog I went to hobby lobby, goodwill and the salvation army to get supplies for arts and crafts tomorrow (even purchased silk flowers) I was inspired thanks for ideas for fun stuff to do tomorrow.

Sara said...

Hey chicky! I'm loving your photos. The ones you posted of The Tedward are magical. We should probably hang out one day and play photoshoot. Can I make you and Tedward pose for me? You've got pretty camera faces. For serious. <3

By the way... your hair looks gorgeous when you roll out of bed! Count your blessings girl.

THAT is what your hair looks like when you roll out of bed? Do little birds and bunnies help you get dressed, too?

I feel so cool! You left me a comment! I guess it's obvious that I check your blog ALL the time - I've become a little obsessed with you and your Tedward. You're such a cute couple and I love your style, pictures and posts. Keep up the good work - you're fun to follow!

I love looking through the lense too...it's like you're on the outside of your life, looking in. And you take awesome pics. Do you love your Canon?

And the Tedward is looking quite ripped! You're srsly gonna have to be his loudest cheerleader at his meets so ALL the gals know he's YOURS!

If that's the way your hair looks when you just rolled out of bed, I don't think we can be friends anymore.

XO.
