Fawkes

It's officially my favorite season, Bluebonnet season, and every year make it a point to snap some photos at a patch. This time around, it wanted to finally get photos of Fawkes in bluebonnets, because I failed at doing so last year. So here are my favorite photos, I honestly can't get over how cute he is in these.

Snow Day

It snowed in Austin for the first time in almost 4 years, earlier this month. Usually when it snows in Austin, it happens over night, but this time there were actual snow flurries falling down from the sky in the middle of the day. Unfortunately I didn't get to go outside and play while it was snowing, because I was working (booo!) but I did spend a good chunk of time crying on my way home, because everything looked so pretty. All of these pictures are from the next day, unfortunately all the snow was melting, but I still got some good shots.

And as usual, I had to take a lot of corgi shots. Fawkes and McCoy really liked playing in the snow, but they were not in the mood to take pictures.

So it was really only like an inch of snow and it had melted by noon, but as someone who has lived their whole life in an area that rarely snows, I get really excited by just a little bit. - Jessica

Fawkes

I'm definitely one of those dog owners who gets excited about their pet's birthday. Especially since Fawkes is a year old this week (we don't know the exact day that he was born but Hermione Granger's birthday is just as good time to celebrate it). He's grown so much since I got him for Christmas, but he's pretty small compared to my family's other corgis. I'm also definitely the person who get's their pet cakes that say Happy Birthday (but I'm waiting until this weekend when my sister is here with Hazel to give it to him). So to celebrate my dogs birthday, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite shots I've taken of him.

Isn't he so cute? He's not a huge fan of getting his picture taken, but I reward him greatly. - Jessica

December Snapshots

I usually only share one snapshots post per month, but with the holidays and everything else, I've taken so many photos that I thought I would divide it up into two different posts.

1. I've been buying a lot more books than usual lately and my bookshelves have been in a really big disarray. With school done for the semester, I finally had time to rearrange everything and I spent almost a whole day getting it to my liking.

2. I've been wanting to get an eReader for a while now, especially since I like to check out ebooks from the library and so I decided to get the Kindle Paperwhite while it was on sale during Black Friday. // 3. I've also been buying a lot of vinyl lately and I was so happy when my limited edition vinyl of KAYE's Honey came in the mail.

4. I finally tried Voodoo Doughnuts. Their doughnuts are really good, but I'm a little biased towards Gourdough's

5. I'm still obsessed with Fantastic Beasts! I saw it for a fourth time and I've added another Newt to my Funko collection and I jumped at getting these bookmarks from Happy Hello Art. // 6. I've also slowly been adding the new wave of Harry Potter Funkos to my collection. Harry and Ron in their Weasley sweaters are definitely some of my faves yet. // 7. I've somehow got through loving Harry Potter all these years and never had a Harry Potter ornament for my family's christmas tree until now.

8. And now for the real reason why I decided to make a second snapshots post this month. For Christmas this year, my family got me a corgi puppy! His name is Fawkes and he's a lot to handle but I'm obsessed with him. - Jessica
