Friday Musings

It's 11am on a Thursday night and I am watching Hills reruns. True life, Presley was screaming her head off for no apparent reason for over an hour. Pair this with her "up every two hours" last night and I am one exhausted mama.

I have not been up to much around these parts aside from playing around with my DSLR trying to self teach myself how to shoot in manual. For you photographer's I have a question: How do you focus sharply on the eyes?

For the most part I am using autofocus and today I was playing around with manual focus but I feel like my photos are never super sharp! I have a Canon Rebel t4i and any tips would be appreciated!

(But then I see this photo and think I am being too hard on myself :)

I hope you all have a lovely Friday - as for me I am hoping my weekend involves some serious sleep!

5 on Friday

I'm linking up to these lovely ladies to dish my five!

1. A New Dresser

 David and I pick this girl up on Saturday. I have been scouring Craigslist for weeks looking for a long dresser. I was getting frustrated because all David's clothing is just sitting atop our guest bed creating a mess! I'm excited to refinish it have David refinish it. A definite before/after post with the big reveal! Bonus: I see a changing table one day...



2. Art & Wine Festival

 We have the annual Art & Wine Festival this weekend. This is the first one to kick off the many summer Art & Wines Festivals that happen around me. And it's supposed to be high 80s!

3. This quote

I often have to remind myself to just slow down and enjoy the ride. I am really looking forward to everything that is yet to come for us!

4. Canon Rebel T4i

David bought this for me for my 30th birthday and I absolutely love it. I swear each time I pick it up I learn something new about it. I also bought the Nifty Fifty Lense because I read it's a must have. I agree!!



5. My mama

My mom and dad are always in Aruba for my mom's birthday and Mother's Day since they fall within their two week vacation. So we are celebrating her on Sunday and I plan on attempting to make this ombre cake - with documentation of course! Done this before? Give me some tips in the comments!
