My First Vlog!!

Hello faithful blog readers!! For Beto's birthday I got him The Flip HD... so of course we had to test it out while planning his party! No frills on this one, but I promise... they will get better! Enjoy!

Home Made Pizzas with LindseyJoy from Lindsey Joy on Vimeo.

*edit: Pizza Crust Recipe

1 packet yeast

1 cup hot water (115 degrees)

2 Tbl. olive oil

3 Tbl. sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 egg

3 cups four

*I use a kitchen aid mixer, but can be done by hand.

Pour water into heated bowl and add yeast packet. Allow yeast to activate.

Stir in oil, egg, sugar, and salt.

Slowly add flour to mixer using bread attachment.

Knead in mixer or 5 minutes by hand.

Separate dough in to 4 pieces and roll out.

Allow 10 minutes to rise (I rarely do this, it is thin crust pizza anyway).

Bake for 8 minutes at 400 degrees (for crispier crust allow crust to slightly brown).

Remove from oven and top as desired.

Bake an additional 10 minutes at 450 degrees.

Enjoy!!

When I laugh...

I wrinkle my nose!

A couple weeks ago I picked up a new 24mm 2.8 lens from B&H.
These are a couple of Beto's test shots!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

What a fabulous day filled with all things us girls love... flowers, chocolate, love notes, romantic movies, date nights, and maybe even a little champagne! Gosh, who doesn't love seeing hearts and the colors pink and red?? Something about it makes our hearts swoon! I love LOVE, the idea of love, and being in love. There's nothing quite like it!

Today was a chill day at home for Beto and I. He let me sleep in, we homemade chocolate chip waffles for breakfast and enjoyed each other's company sans the bling this year. Well... not completely without the bling :) We are celebrating our love in Riviera Maya in March!! I hope you enjoy your Valentine today whether in high style or sweatpants!

And since no blog post is complete without a photo... here we are in MI at Robinette's over christmas.
