Celebrating Emily's Birthday (AGPS-09-29-18)

Hiya lovelies! Time completely got away from me and I forgot I didn't have a post up for today. So here's a quick one. The 29th was Emily Bennett's birthday, and we did a small photo-shoot for her and in celebration of National Coffee Day! Enjoy!

I like this picture, don't you?

I know, very short, but it's something! Do you have Emily? Did you celebrate her Birthday? 

Also, happy first of October--how did that happen? It was literally just September first! Did your month fly too?

I hope you have a wonderful week, see you next Monday!

Sisterly Bonding Time (AGPS 02-20-18)

Hullo lovelies! It's Wednesday again! I almost missed it, but don't ya worry, I'm here. This photo-shoot is from a few weeks ago when I attempted to take my blondes out for a spring ride, but things didn't go quite as planned...

Kit found a daffodil! 

And snowbells!

I think this was the first time I had actually put Caroline in this outfit, and it's really pretty on her!

I'm really glad these two are becoming a little more on the same page, they didn't get along when I got Caroline, really much at all.

I love regency boots, do you?

Blue eyes.

Penny.

I love this picture!

This is actually Caroline and Kit on Penny, but I could get them to balance because of the wind and multiple other things, but, oh well. I think this photo-shoot turned out well, even though it wasn't want I had initially wanted it to be.
The past few days I have been sick on the couch watching Netflix, so that's fun. On Friday I went to get my state ID, and I think I picked something up there. My voice is hoarse, but I am on the mend, so here's hoping I'm better before much longer. Not a fun way to spend Spring break though. :(
Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Happy Pride and Prejudice Publication Day!

Marie Teaches Ada Chess (08-19-17)

Hullo everyone! How are you doing this week? I've been alright, and today I have a photo shoot of not one, not two, but three dollies! XD I tried my hand at indoor photography again; and I must say I was disappointed with how they turned out, but I might as well show them. It's important to see how much we grow through our photography, isn't it?

If I'm honest, this photo-shoot was inspired by one of my friend's novels. :)

I am ashamed to say that I had to look up how to set up the board, because it's been so long since I played.

Ada had always wanted to learn how to play chess. Marie got the game for her birthday several years ago, and she was very glad to teach her.

Luckily Ada is a quick learner, and soon Marie was beat in the game.

Well, that's all. If you're interested in finding the chess set, it came from Target in the gift section a few years ago. I hope you're all well. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Emily in Nature (AGPS 08-02-17)

Hullo ducklings, How about we try to push through as many photo-shoots in the last few days of Summer break, so we can start fresh with the new school year, sound good? I doubt I can do it, but we'll see! Today I have a photo-shoot of Miss Emily, the English Rose of our dollies. Enjoy!

Who would you like to see a photo-shoot of next? I still have quite a few left! XD Thank you for your support dears! Also, have you listened to Taylor Swift's new single? If you're a Swifty, at least, if so, what are your thoughts?

Saige and A Dragonfly (AGPS, 07-13-17)

Hullo loves, one of these days I will catch up with  all the photo-shoots I have backed up. Heh. :) Today we have Miss Saige wearing mostly items from Ania's wardrobe...sisters will share, whether they are aware that they are or not. Let's get started.

Mr Dragonfly posed for the camera. :)

Ivy.

Summer dreams.

Well that is all for today. If you aren't aware...I've been vlogging and posting videos once a week on my YT account. I think if you click through to my G+, there should be a link. If you'd like to see what's been going on in my life. :) Thanks for stopping by! Which was your favourite picture?

Last Year on the Fourth...(Poem-ish thing, and 4th of July Cali, 2016 post) (07-03-17)

Last year on the fourth, we filled the day with endless fun, feeling freshly recovered cheeks burn again under Cali's relentless sun.

Traipsing across the town with new friends in patriotic colours, taking pictures like tourists and laughing at murals. 

Last year on the fourth, I realised that coconut and lime sorbet should probably not be mixed, and that singing 'happy birthday to America' in public is strange, but amazing. 

We cooked a feast large enough for nearly twice our size, before laying out on the itchy grass on our backs to watch the fireworks over the baseball field.

Last year's fourth seems like so long ago, but alas, it was only 365 days. What happens this year seems to be the same as the years before the last fourth, only it is different. 

This fourth one of us is half-a-world-away, and the rest of us will be missing those who are, all the long long day.

As we eat the traditional food, and have the usual conversations, it's so easy  to forget what it is we're celebrating. 241 years ago, a war that began, and would seem to never end, when we decided to fight for freedom, against those treating us wrong.

But the war did not only begin, on July 4th, 1776, or end, 1781, it continues on today, each and everyone has something they're fighting against, for freedom is never truly won until we are at peace. And peace can be so hard to find on the rocky sea that is life.

But on this fourth, take a break, breathe deeply, and live, if for just a moment. You are alive, and sometimes, that has to be good enough. Maybe set a goal for who, and what you want next year you to be on this day, but for now, try to be content with the now.

The awaited promised pictures from one of the many days spent in California last summer:

The Tardis! ^ This is what we drove around for a week with the load of girls and two boys.

Dandelion!

So very festive, aren't we?

Pretty sissies. =)

Red, white, and blue boy.

TCBY.

 ~Fireworks!~

Looks like a dandelion. =)

Bonus picture of me and Saige from last summer, which truly looks vintage if you ask me, on a different day, but still patriotic. 

Also, if you have animals, be sure you're home so the fireworks don't scare them--their ears are most sensitive than ours are. What did you do for the fourth?
