I cannot tell you how amazing the weather is... in Chicago... in March! It's supposed to be in the 70s all week! I left work @ 5 (I never do that) and walked through the neighborhood and over to the beach. It felt like summer. I love how when the weather warms up, everyone comes outside. We've been cooped up all winter and now it's time to play!

Simply a beautiful day in the city. One of those days you want to just spend the day being a tourist in your own city.
Yes, that's butter! Pecan waffle from The Original Pancake House in Wilmette.

Today was Sloane's 3 month photoshoot ... I got a few goodies, but not really what I wanted. I really need to get a light meter before the 4 month shoot. I just seem to never have enough light! She's a super cutie and is so cooperative with a giant lens in her face! This will not be one of those kids that shies away from the camera! Not while Ya Ya is around!! Momma brought funny hats for us to try today ... gonna have to do that bee hat again! Totally out of focus ...but I still love it!
And while we were tending to the little one, Bella kept Phoebe company! She loves her some Phoebe!
It's that famous shade of Chicago winter gray today, cold and I am completely unmotivated to get out and about. Despite the fact that I have a million places I need to go. So it's going to be one of those domestic kind of days... laundry, cleaning and crap TV (currently watching Bring It On - ha!). What better way to start a cozy day than with homemade pancakes!?!

I was so excited to get this bag ... been flirting with it for a while now and finally found it back in stock. I will say the quality of the leather is very nice. It doesn't look like a camera bag at all - you'd never know someone was carrying a camera inside. { love that } And it's surprisingly light weight too!
The interior is beautifully padded, modular and qutie roomy. I was hoping that it might hold my 13" MBAir - sadly it will not, but the iPad fits perfect. This bag would be THE perfect "everyday" camera bag.
My only complaint { and it's kind of a big one for me } is that the crossbody strap is quite short. 18" does allow it to be worn crossbody, but it's a tall bag and rides quite high on my body. And if I'm all bundled up in my Chicago winter gear { read puffy down coat } it feels really small. I want it to extend to 21" or so where it would fit more toward my hip. This would make it easier to access the contents. Rigth now it feels rather awkward. I truly love everything about it but this ... wondering if I can find a strap extender or something ??
