Just another day at the office…

So it’s no secret that I love my job. I work with great people and love what I do. I haven’t ever really gone into what I actually do, but here’s the gist: The president of the company I {actually} work for, is the president/CEO of maybe 5 companies total. That man is busy! Anyway, he hired me as a marketing manager to be part of his management team for his businesses. This means, while most of my time is spent for the hunting/outdoor company, there are times he needs my help with his other ventures. It keeps things interesting!

So, anyway, in July, he bought a snack food company. Since then, about half of my time at work has been spent helping coordinate the website redesign, store build out at the new mall location, signage, photoshoots etc. Speaking of photoshoots, my family was asked to model for the photoshoot. HA! Well, Andy was already back at work, so he couldn’t but Ry & I did and I wanted to share the photos.

Ry was a trooper and did a great job. And, a huge, huge thanks to my brother for coming along to help wrangle the kid while I had to do photos without her…you know, with my stand-in husband Steve. {kinda awkward}

Cosmo’s Corn is like caramel corn but a bazillion times better! {And I’m not just saying that because I sort of work for the company.} This stuff is addicting. It’s like crack. {I’m actually eating some right now} But it’s actually not that bad for you either. It’s trans-fat free and gluten-free and since it’s made from corn meal, there’s no kernels! As you can see, Rylee thoroughly enjoyed it too! That girl was so amped by the end of the photo shoot. Anyway, we launched the new website yesterday. It’s a work in progress, we just really needed to get it launched. Plus also? It’s a light-years ahead of what was up there. {See what I did there!? I slay me.}

So, to recap: I love my job. Cosmos Corn owns my face. This project may make me fat. My kid is a rock star. Our pictures are up in the mall. Boom.

And… if you ask real nice, I may be able to hook you up with some Cosmo’s Corn to try. :)

Rylee’s Fashion Friday {v. 1}

Ok, so, first thing’s first…I’m changing the name of my Friday ritual. Gone are the days of “Fashion Police”. Mostly, because I actually LOVE the outfits Ry chooses to wear. I love her creativity and I always, always want her to “wake up full of awesome!” {Side note: you must go read that post…go ahead, I’ll wait…} 

Now that we’ve got that cleared up, moving right along…

This is how Rylee has chosen to deal with Fall in the PNW. Layering. Like a true Oregonian.
