She's someone who i consider a close friend and i know you will too. if you need a new banner, full makeover, buttons, anything....she will be more than happy to get things done for you! she's honestly the BEST.

She also created HaniBeans header and it looks spectacular. She's very reasonable on pricing and is the most sweetest woman i know. She will make you happy, indeed. If you need anything please contact us. I will direct you right to her or you can email her directly at scenicglory {at} gmail {dot} com

yesterday was an amazing day at the pool. i'm getting my color back and feeling gorgeous. my girls are the light of my life and they make my heart skip beats.

wishing you all a beautiful day! i'm off to get some work done, i'll be back later with some more sponsor love posts;-) xo

construction

i've been capturing some amazing photos! our community is still building some condos past the pool, so we walked down there the other day to see how the developing was coming along.

baby allie just had to get her nose in there. we were walking out back and without even seeing her, i almost walked right into her. usually they hurry into the water when someone gets that close, scaring the shit out of me but she laid there like, 'i'm not going anywhere lady janie'.

a glop of cement, a tire

and

 this is all the way in the back----the front of the community is so much better. and so much bigger.

i will be adding a ton more items to that shop today, stay tuned. i will also be working on a winning ad from ftlob for weheartshops.com

the music these guys played was amazing. simply enjoyable.

stay tuned for some awesome sponsor love posts, we have some really great blogs over to the right of me----> check them out! I promise you won't be disappointed. Have a gorgeous day friends. xoxo

DownTown

yesterday we walked the streets downtown and found the art show. it was filled with gorgeous art and sculptures. the sun was hot and the music was amazing. they had streets blocked off for miles.

i'm extremely obsessed with signs. i think bryan was getting a little peeved with me. i honestly have a need to capture every one of them.

this vintage charm shop was super pretty! xo how was your weekends?

meet a fun girl

happy friday lovely people

hi there. the blog is not quite done! i was just playing this morning and i'm waiting for a new design to come in. i hope you like the sponsors. i was trying to get them all finished this morning and did as many as i could. if those that had their buttons up there are not up there right at the moment, please help a sister out and make the 120X120 size for me! you just have to shoot me over the direct link code and i'll have it up later this afternoon.

i'm working on several differnt sizes for the freckles and fudge buttons. they will be on my about me page from now on.....i'll get some more up this eve.

if anyone is interested in making haniBeans a pretty, elegant header....{i have no time at the moment} i would be willing to trade for advertising your blogs and/or shops. or any other goods;-)

stay tuned for april sponsor deals and highlights.....i hope you all enjoy the weekend. xo

Good Night

sorry for the mess! i will be changing all sponsor ads tomorrow and adjusting the sizes of everything. Don't worry about your ads if you've paid for six-twelve months, i will re-do all of your ads. just bear with me cause it's gonna look a little crazy for a minute. thanks loves. enjoy the eve! xo

sleep tight

8 things

i love this week......well photography is one! i just can't get enough! it's super gorgeous here right now. the mornings are breezy with a glaze of sunshine and then afternoons heat up and you are ready to sunbathe.

last week we discussed kids art but this week it's all about the art i love. i found this metro sign. very unique and catchy.

i'll be putting some photographs i took yesterday in the shop today! i'm such a goober, i can't remember what the antique car was called. i'll hunt it down today but i got more of the car and some other neat photos i'll be sharing.

i'm not quite sure why but i am super obsessed with baby items.

look at these cuties.

i will forever adore the alphabet.....

i've been waiting oh so patiently to get a yorkie. we will be moving soon and that is the first thing on my list to get. i can't wait.

little notes are always bringing a smile to my face.

i want a poloroid. i need to go find one this weekend! do you have one? don't they just make you happy!?

pretty bedding. i have this need to buy blankets, sheet sets. i even have some saved in boxes, brand new for our new home. i think this is perfect for spring.

so i bake cupcakes and they come out great....but even when i freeze the frosting to make it go on firm, it just doesn't look as good as these. i'm needing a course in making pretty cupcakes.

what do you love this week?

xo

some photos i snapped today

i told you i liked bugs!

it's a new day! love is sweet......

rise and shine pretty people! when i woke this morning there was photos from ma dukes on my phone. they got plowed with more snow. no thank you. i look forward to none of that on the first day of spring. it's time for us to get back out there and capture the flowers and nature again here on freckles and fudge. we have some gorgeous yellow and whites blossoming. the turtles are swimming so freely and playing with the babies out there. the little gators just don't know what they are supposed to eat yet so they go after the turtles and eventually find out they can't eat them. or can they? i don't know but they didn't. those turtles are quite the smart little cookies. they know when to hide.

while we're enjoying the nature here in our backyard, we'll be taking a little trip this afternoon through the community to get some much needed photographs.

we hope you will enjoy the sweet nature today.....it's rather lovely. xo

Hola!

hello beautiful people! i was messing around with scrapbooking when i found the lemonade stands that fit perfect for featuring the blogs that wanted to play; like a kid back in the day! and after tinkering around i just found a whole new joy! i feel like a kid again and i'm having a blast! when i get to meet people through this fun activity it just makes blogging that much more meaningful to me! Not to mention it's an easy way for me {and everyone else}to stalk you! NOT only do I click the stands to make sure your links are working, i click them to see what's going on in your neck of the woods and i'm sure everyone else is curious as well!

the lemonade blogs is just a new adventure for me! i like to play and hope that maybe you'll want to as well! it's fun to see what everyone is like and these little stands give you a peek before heading to their sites!

this week we are on Spring Break! Whooooo! i am loving the late night movies! yesterday we had watched several. i wanted to fly back to new york for a week to help grandma. grandpa had a stroke and is still in the hospital! it's times like these when you really need to be closer to home. instead we are millions of miles apart and it's a struggle everyday!

until next time.......frecks! enjoy the day...xo

The Love Bug

simply hue

Currently, I'm saying that word too much and I'm obsessed with the little old bugs!

Happy Sunday Love Bugs....xo

Get ur Blaze on! {what she wore}

I am a twenty-something part time barista and part time blogger. Who knows, I might be making your daily latte and you don't even know! I love fashion, but even more, I love creating and discovering my own style. I am very into music, traveling, and eating (who isn't!?) and I want to blog and share all of my favorite bands, cities, restaurants, recipes and more! 

what she wore:

Blazer- LC Lauren Conrad

 Shirt- Forever 21

 Jeans- 7 for All Mankind

 Boots- Old Navy

 Necklace- Edor Jewelry

 Earrings- Icing

 Belt- Forever 21

My favorite part of this blazer is the cuffs. They are a light blue with stripes which I really like to play off and help guide the rest of my outfit. My favorite thing about a blazer is it easily makes an outfit so much more snazzy and important looking. I also love to wear my thinnest, silkiest shells underneath because the blazer is so structured.
