Shaping up for the studio...
So I met with our photographer today and started planning our first studio shoot (we have them planned as a regular thing from now on).. I thought I would share inspiration from my first mood board and would love to know which is your favourite and even why if you have the time :)

Things they will never know
... Have you thought about the things your kids will possibly never know?
My kids will most likely never know..
My kids will most likely never know..
- What an a-Z is (think you call them Gregorys here) anyhow a road map as they will either use Maps on their iPhone or by the time they drive Sat Nav will be in built in all standard cars
- They will never buy a Music CD (its another 7/8 yrs before they start the music thang) and certainly won't watch VHS video in their life
- They will never know there was once a time when people whispered if they saw two men holding hands walking down the street and gasped if they dared to kiss..
- Will they ever own a phone with buttons? I doubt it.. almost all their devices will be touch screen in a few years
- My kids will not have the joy of playing in a darkroom processing photos, no doubt that will be an expensive archaic and daggy thing to do..
- Once upon a time a night out involved just dancing and a bit of alcohol.. oh the things they will see (I have seen them too and have no issue with it but there was a time when underage drinking was rebellious enough)

A trio of Grateful
I've got 3 gratefuls that just jump up and down saying pick me, pick me this week.. Life is feeling like an open space....
I have had a week of sick kids, not just a little sick but very sick.. soaring temperature, emotional wrecks with no energy.. joyous I tell you BUT it has made me grateful for the fact that really if I look back over the past few years we don't actually get sick too often so I am grateful for that and thinking about all the parents out there with kids that are really battling like my friend Louise did with her son Bill
I have had a project that I have been working on for over 6 weeks that looks like it may have to be scrapped and I feel pretty deflated by that BUT I am grateful I have my fabulous Creative Team to bounce things off and we came up with some fab ideas to still use a lot of the ideas created and make it better in so many areas for our sellers
Lastly I am over the friggin' moon that an off hand comment in a private e mail between Emily and I has resulted in us finally meeting face to face and the gorgeous gal becoming part of my DTLL Family.. she will be pottering about on our Facebook Page, Playing on Pinterest and connecting with you on all the other social networks. I can't wait for her to take over one of our weekly newsletters as she has such fab taste and she will of course still be on her blog The Beetle Shack
I love how Down that Little Lane is shaping up.. we are only 6 months old and have already become such a fab little community. My ultimate dream was to create a place where our sellers felt special, knew they were supported by me and had a our team behind them ensuring they got the best exposure we could give them and with what we have gained already and the things that are happening over the next few months I am really fulfilling that promise which makes me pretty proud... am I blowing my own trumpet? Maybe a bit but I blame it on Kelly.. she told me too!!
What are you grateful for this week? Do you ever blow your own trumpet? have you met Emily before?.. you should do all three this week.. I double dare ya x
