This weekend, I stepped out of my comfort zone…twice. (whoohoo! Go me!)

First, while doing a photoshoot, I moved two little girls out into a field that was in full mid-day sun. Not my kind of shooting preference, at all. But, I fired off a few shots and totally love the outcome

Aren’t they adorable?! Once I got back to where I could actually see the pictures (it was too bright to even see my LCD screen when I was out there, so I had no idea what I was getting) I love that we did them in the sun. I feel like it adds to their ‘summery dresses’ (which I loved, by the way) and their carefree, happy personalities… (I’ll be posting more from this shoot soon).  

Then, yesterday I made yeast rolls. Yep, that is definitely stepping out of my comfort zone. Bread - and crusts of any kind – scare me. In fact, I make apple pies once or twice a year, and every time I roll out my dough I hear my Mom’s voice “Don’t let the dough work you…YOU work the dough!” Ah, she makes it sound so easy. Anyway, back to this weekend, I found these Yeast rolls on Pinterest and decided to give it a go. I had never even used my ‘dough hook’ that came with my mixer and when I saw that on the recipe I was like “uhhhh, I guess this is what I use…” haha!

They turned out good. Not the best I’ve ever had, but good for a first time.

Happy Monday!
