Dixie Donuts

Who doesn't like donuts?
Am I right?

I recently (finally) got to try Dixie Donuts, a new donut shop here in Richmond, and I am in love.
My mouth is watering as I type this.
They have so many unique and yummy flavors, you won't leave disappointed!
I wasn't able to take too many photos, but believe me, they have many amazing, photogenic and delicious kinds to choose from.

They make good spontaneous mini Birthday cakes too ;)

They're also doing a deal right now on Living Social where if you spend $7 you get $18 to spend on donuts!
Check out the deal here.

Be Still

Something I'm learning lately is how to be still.
Take a break.
Enjoy something for me in the midst of everything crazy that's going on.
It's hard to remember to do that sometimes. 


Rachel & Matt Rehearsal

As I mentioned last week, I had the amazing opportunity to assist with shooting a wedding a little while ago with this amazingly talented lady.
We had such a blast shooting this rehearsal, I mean how could we not when the rehearsal dinner is on a boat? (And we all know I love boats)
(Side note: Please excuse the excessive amount of sunset photos... And photos of little Paige. Isn't she the cutest? I just couldn't help myself)
 Be sure to stay tuned for the wedding photos!

What have you been up to recently?



Dream Job

Found these words via Jessica's blog recently and they've had me thinking a lot.
They're definitely challenging words to say the least.
You have to create your dream job yourself.
I feel like that's what I'm in the process of doing though. 
I feel pretty accomplished actually, knowing I'm working on discovering and creating my dream job.
I know there are many people who are not as fortunate as I am in that way. 
Who are stuck working jobs they hate or jobs that only pay the bills but don't involve what they truly love doing. 
I'm so thankful for the opportunity and time of life I'm in to figure out what exactly my dream job is. 
It definitely involves a little bit of this. And this. And even this.
It's not the whole picture yet though.
I'm still figuring it out. 
But I'm having a blast doing it.

What's your dream job?

Don't Look Back

Don't Look Back is possibly one of the best new restaurants here in Richmond.
While I've gone several times in the past few months and it is no longer new to me (or to the area) it's taken me awhile to get around to blogging about it!
It's super affordable and cheap (you can get two tacos and chips and salsa for under $10!) but unlike most other affordable food it's actually good.
I mean really good.
My favorite is the pulled chicken taco, flour tortilla, traditional style.
I get it every time.
So delicious.
These photos are kind of a compilation of a couple different times I've gone, but I figured I'd mash them all into one post anyway.
If you live around here and haven't gone yet, you must!
