In my camera bag

I'm finally getting around to making this post that I've been meaning to do for weeks now. At first, I was just going to have it be all my camera gear, but let's be honest, I'm a mom first, so yes, my camera bag is also my "carry all" bag. Sometimes I feel like Mary Poppins with this thing!

First, let me just say I'm totally (and completely) in love with my bag from Jo Totes. It's the best thing! I can carry everything in here and I absolutely LOVE the color! It was especially great for our trip to Prague! Best.bag.ever!

Have a little peek inside...

See how it holds everything snug and secure. I love all the little dividers that I can rearrange to fit what I have in my bag at the time. This is usually what it looks like...well maybe with a few receipts and loose change, but I cleaned that out for y'all!

Here is the lowdown of what I carry in my bag.

1. My bag: Jo Totes in Rose-Teal.

2. Ariana bag: 3 crayons, mini notebook, 2 my little pony figurines, small bubbles she got from the library.

3 Wet ones, travel tissues, toddler cereal bar, smiley face potty stickers (P.S. I'm a mom hehehe)

4. Nikon D7000 (with 18-105mm lens)

5. 70-210mm zoom lens

6. Change of clothes for Ariana (just in case there is an accident, yep those are Ariel panties)

7. Chapstick: Blistex for Richard, Burt's Bee's for me

8. Cell phone (horrible pay as you go phone cause were are in Germany)

9. Keys and a pen

10. Wallet: Fossil. Isn't it the cutest? My Momma got it for me for my birthday!

11. Calendar

And that's my bag! 

In case you came here to see my camera gear, don't worry I've got you covered. I even looked up all the links for you, so you can read more about each item, cause that's what I like to do!

Sunday Confessions

~Sunday Confessions~

A non-photo post. 

Why??

Cause, I feel like it.

..................................

1. Trash TV. Sometimes there is nothing better than watching some trash TV. This week I've been watching me some Temptation Island. Found it on Hulu and indulged.

2. I'm totally addicted to Red Hots. Those little fiery candies, I love them! I eat them a handful at a time.

3. I'm currently waiting on 9 (yep, 9) packages to arrive to my P.O. box. Hey, Halloween, Ariana's birthday, and Christmas/Hanukkah are right around the corner. So I'm getting prepared, and you have the fact that some things in the same order are being shipped separately. Oh, and my Momma loves us haha!!

4. Twitter kind of annoys me. I used to try to update and read all the updates all the time. But, since I've moved, I've pretty much given up trying to keep up. I rarely get on anymore, and when I do all I do is post about my blog. It's just too time consuming to me.

AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE

5. I want a new camera. Really bad. Don't get me wrong, I like my little camera. I just want something more substantial. Currently I take all my photography seen on my blog with my Canon Power Shot A610. 

I know, right!?!

Lucky

It's March! A new month, a new beginning! Let's make it lucky!

 I wanted to share with y'all  this clover heart picture that I took last Spring in Georgia (aka my home state, for those of you that didn't know).

I have set a few goals that I want to accomplish this month.

March Goals:

1. Take 1 roll of film on my 50mm camera. (I'm hoping I won't be able to stop at one roll and that I'll keep it up).

To inspire myself a little I did some shopping in Amy's Etsy shop Camera Candy. I'm not ashamed to bribe myself a little! She has some super cute stuff to help make your camera's cute! I already posted about the cute camera bag she made for me for my point and shoot! Here are my most recent goodies...

 

 Camera strap and lens pouch

  

 super cute!

  

 My camera looks so cute and girly now!

  

 All I need now is some new film! Thanks again Amy, you rock!

2. Make something orange for Jamie's MS awareness giveaway.

This got done yesterday! :) Jamie, I'm going to email you and email about it shortly.

3. Start taking Ariana to the storytime at the library.

She is a serious bookworm. Her current favorite book is Where the Wild Things Are. We read it at least twice a day! She loves it! My favorite line is: The wild things cried "oh please don't go - we'll eat you up - we love you so". But Max said "No". It's her favorite too, she always says "no" when we turn to that page

4. Set aside one night a week to read my book and make myself go to bed early.

5. Send out LOTS of Happy Mail! :)

I'm not saying any more than that, I don't want to ruin anyone's surprises! :)

6. Walk more.

Now that the weather is getting nicer, I want to get out more. I got rid of my old ratty shoes and got myself some much needed new shoes. I also splurged on a Nike+ to monitor how far I walk...and maybe even run!

  

 I was taking a picture of my shoes, and then...

  

 I was bombarded! My cat Ely, just insisted on being in the pictures and got right up in my camera!

  

 Such a camera hog!

 

I think he was jealous of the shoes getting all the attention!

And lastly, I'll end on #7, you know, cause it's a lucky number and all! :)

7. I'm in the midst of planning something for my blog readers. I'm not saying anything else about it, but I think it's going to be fun! I'll post more later on in the month!

Happy March everyone! 

xoxo,

Cat

P.S. I might not be blogging much until I get my computer back. But, I'll still be reading, so keep the cute blogs coming!
