Life Is Full Of Color

Life is full of color! Now I’m not speaking figuratively here (surprised?). Nope, there are so many colors and shades and variations! It’s one of the things that makes going outside so beautifully magnificent AND picking out family photo outfits so horrible! Not to mention I’m looking online so colors are skewed by my phone or the website, or both. I put a ton of stuff in my online cart, from two different websites and am now trying to make outfits by looking back and forth. Don’t get me wrong this IS MY KINDA problem, I love it! It’s creative and involves new clothes for kids and family photos! I have this rule ( guaranteed to be tested this go round by my precious eight year old) if photos are being taken, I get to pick your outfit. Now this just goes for important photos like family photos, special events, etc, I’m not a tyrant (except for photos!). So I’m already mixing patterns (so “IN”but hopefully doesn’t date 2018 like turtlenecks date MY kid picks, did you know turtle necks are making a come back?) but how far down the color spectrum should I deviate? And throw this into the mix...it’s at a location that I have beautiful family photos from....yes, so there is a gorgeous photo of the two lovelies on a green bench in front of a white clapboard wall...and I want to recreate this in some way.... yes I realize my expectations may be too high. My preteen darling likes green, I found a dress she approves of, also green ( read “so not a tyrant”) will the green dress distract from the green bench? Probably....let it go Lo, let it go. Joke: why don’t you give Elsa a balloon? Cause she’ll “let it go”. ( best if sung at top of your lungs in public, embarrassing your children!) And I just remembered..... shoes!            -Lo


*** Just saying at least you can do the coordinating because as you well know I always have to call you to help me on what to do for my family pictures! Love, Ro

Nice to meet you

Well hello, I’m Lo ( and at this point tempted to rhyme my entire introduction....) I am a mother of two pretty alright kids who keep me on my toes but give me reasons to smile more often than not, so I’ll keep them. I am probably the sarcastic and tangential one in this lovely pair of best friends. I’m trying to live my life as a blessing, to those I love, those I work with, those behind me in the grocery store....emphasis on “try”. I’m a work in progress but I’m still showing up for the work, some days more than others. I love photography, cooking/baking, dabble in arts, animal lover (but need less to take care of not more), I love sunshine, hiking and hugs!       -Lo

Welcome From Ro

Thank you for joining us! Lo is my Best Friend and has been for almost 30 years now! We have been through so much in our lives. Supporting each other along the way. We want to share our lives with you, recipes, photography, quotes, and much...much more. We met when we were 12 years old. Lo and I have grown so much. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am married with 4 children. I guess I should call them adults now since they are all between the ages of 18-20. I live in a very rural town of only 250 people. I love animals. Since we live on a Ranch I have many animals from Dogs, Horses, Cattle, Chickens and whatever strays I pick up to bottle feed. I have traveled throughout my life to now 24 countries. My father was in the Military. I remember in 11th Grade crying my eyes out because we were moving from California to Japan. I didn't want to leave my BFF Lo. I thought for sure our friendship would end if I moved away. Yet here we still are years and years later going strong. I am so thankful for Lo and how much she has been there for me through the years! Have fun watching our different personalities and what we find entertaining. Welcome to our Lo and Ro Blog!!

Be Like A Feather...Strong with Purpose but Light at Heart....................................Love, Ro
