Sunday Afternoon Tea: August 16th 2015

Afternoon and welcome to another installment of my Sunday Afternoon Tea. On the agenda we have organization, Fall color trends in hair and fashion, homemade gnocchi, and pro photography tips to help out a new photographer or blogger.

I've been dreaming of a command center that so beautifully functional that it would make other SAHMs jealous. 

One that demands the attention it needs in order to get day to day tasks done, and creates a state of piece in my chaotic home/life/head. I absolutely adore some of these ideas from The Happy Housie. I need a place (other than my personal office space) to organize my troops. A place to stash all of my extra coupons, Tre's backpack and homework checking folder for the new school year, a place for the keys and phones, as well as a spot to keep all of our events and appointments. A command center would really assist my family by keeping our schedules and other important items in check.

As Fall approaches, I really want to spice up my hair color for the cooler temperatures. Nothing permanent of course. I'm going to add color extensions. But my color for Autumn will be a dark/deep purple. I want to mix it with my natural tone. So everything will look really dark. I am getting my color inspiration from Brit.co and LifeStylei

Dear fellow bloggers,

I have just received a new camera and I am trying to learn how to use the daggone thing. It's driving me nuts. That God A Beautiful Mess offers us a guide of 20 Photography Tips and Tricks. 

I want to try gnocchi pasta out, with all of my heart. There's just one teeny tiny issue...I'm allergic to potatoes. I know, whoa is me. Believe it or not, I'm doing fine with out them, but I think that it's pretty awful to deprive my family of such a delicious treat. So, I will make them some homemade gnocchi with this recipe, HOW TO: MAKE LIGHT AS AIR HOMEMADE GNOCCHI, that I've found on Cooking For Keeps Wish us luck. 

I have recently posted, The Curvy Girl's Ultimate Cheat Guide on Embracing Fall's Trending Color, on the blog Trish Pick this past Thursday. This is a great way to see how we plus size fashionistas can stay in trend this fall by finding great pieces.
