My Story

I have recently finished reading the book about the now famous Duggar Family. As a SAHM who homeschools I'm always looking for tips on organization! I figured with 18 children Michelle Duggar had to have a little wisdom to share. It was really a blessing to read their story, how it all started and their journey up until this point, how the Lord has blessed them. I was amazed how organized the family is and along with her tips on organization I also loved her tips on frugal living. One of these tips I have adopted for our family is her recipe for home made laundry detergant. One of the things I have been griping about lately is how much laundry soap I go through and how much it costs...I cringe everytime I have to add it to my buggy at walmart! I figured if it worked for her family it had to work for mine, so I gave it a go. All I can say is that for just a little bit of work......I'm saving a whole lot of money and I have clean clothes! Works for me! So I thought I'd share the recipe with you!

Michelle Duggar says "This laundry detergent saves a huge amount of money. We buy it's three ingredients for less than five dollars, and the resulting concentrate lasts our large family two to three months! It's a watery gel that produces low suds inside the washer. The ingredients are usually available in the laundry products aisle of the supermarket (I buy mine at Publix) or order online.

This is what my camera looks like....I think.....I'm trying to be a good girl and I'm having it and my lenses cleaned. Debbie was so sweet to take it into Peachtree for me...but I just don't know what to do with myself! LOL!! You would think by the way I'm talking that it has been months, but it's really only been a week! I guess I could get out my point and shoot, but I'm so spoiled shooting in RAW that I just can't stand the thought!

Well....I guess this gives me some time to work on that new set of Photo Textures that I have been wanting to get started on! Keep your eye on the website www.pixelfairyprincessphotography.com for some new goodies!

I took this a while back when we got home from church one Sunday afternoon. I just couldn't resist the twins out picking flowers in the clover. They are growing up so fast and I'm enjoying chronicling it through photography.

I used a couple of textures on this one after I processed it in Lightroom. I think I might just have to get this printed on a canvas!

Well Miss Mia is never the one to volunteer to be mommy's model that's for sure....but after watching Cara get little rewards for working for me, she was more than willing today! Out we went....she put on the scratchy tutu and did what ever I asked. It was toooo cute! I love it.

You will notice the new logo....I'm proud to announce that I am going to be part of the Pixel Fairy Princess Team now. Debbie and I are collaborating on Presets, Actions, Textures and Overlays for photographers. I couldn't be more excited! To think that I can work on my own time, from home with my girls, doing something I love. Using the artistic talents that the Lord has given me to create beautiful images. It just doesn't get much better.

This photo uses a preset from the new Season's Collection that Debbie designed and a couple of textures from the new Original Eclectic Texture Collection just released today that Debbie and I collaborated on. I'm so excited! You can find them all at www.pixelfairyprincessphotography.com
