An updated blog design as well as a brand spanking new website are both in the works!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I'd like to share the latest and greatest, a pretty logo for Rae by Day! After months of throwing around ideas and contemplating hiring someone else to design it (it's hard designing for yourself!) I finally landed on a logo I love. It's clean, feminine, and fun and I couldn't be happier with it.<br />

Great news, I am adding newborn sessions to my list of offerings! If you are expecting and would like to set up a session please <a href="mailto:rachaelannward@gmail.com" target="_blank">contact</a> me. Keep in mind that newborn sessions need to happen within the first 10 days after birth.<br />

Rachael is a wonderful crafter and runs the blog/shop <a href="http://www.imaginegnats.com/" target="_blank">imagine gnats</a>. She made the super cute tunics you see in the pictures above. Aren't they awesome?! She also made the shirt she has on in her headshot. Such a talented lady!<br />

I love dressing up and pretending to be someone else. This year a few friends and I decided to be<a href="http://www.lalaloopsy.com/" target="_blank"> Lalaloopsy</a> dolls. I chose to be Marina Anchors.<br />
<br />
This costume was quite a challenge, but probably one of the best costumes I have had so far. The most time consuming part was making the blue yarn wig. It was such a key element!<br />

<br /><div>
After getting the wig together I had the difficult task of figuring out how to get it into pigtails. I didn't just want any pigtails though, they had to be high and braided. This was a challenge because of the way my wig was assembled. If I pulled all the hair up then the back of my head was exposed. So I had to improvise! The end result was a jerry-rigged wig that included lots of bobby pins. <div>

After mastering my wig I had to nail the wardrobe. With the nautical theme being so abundant this past summer I thought it would be super easy. To my surprise I couldn't find a red and white striped shirt anywhere!</div>

Then I decided I'd make the outfit from scratch. I had it all planned out, but then I ended up running out of time since I was so busy with work. Luckily I managed to score the most perfect skirt at a thrift store. It just needed to be hemmed and taken in a few inches. Easy peasy!</div>

If you decide to tackle this costume yourself please share! There are so many cute dolls to pick from. I'd love to see what other people come up with. </div>

The location was beyond perfect. Lots of great lighting, great architecture, and they even got a horse out for us!<br />

I've always wondered how much work went into this beautiful old style of printing. As it turns out, it's a very labor-intensive process. Setting your own type is quite a chore, but the end product is just beautiful.<br />
<br />
We played around a bit with multiple wooden letter "R's" with one color. Then we did a large wooden letter "R" and "B" layering two colors. It was so much fun and now I have some super cool coasters.<br />

It's here! My iPhone 5 arrived today and I have to say it's lovely!<br />
<br />
Now my biggest challenge will be picking a case. There's a limited selection of iPhone 5 cases on the market right now, but I found a few that piqued my interest. All of these cases are available for the 4G and 4GS too, so don't feel left out if you haven't upgraded.<br />

<br />
Our living room has been lacking substantial pillows for a long time. We've had the small one in the photo above laying around for a few years. The poly-fill and slip stitched cover has been less than ideal. I haven't been able to wash it and the poly-fill isn't very supportive.<br />
<br />
The larger orange pillow in the back was made using a pillow form and an<a href="http://www.maillardvillemanor.com/2011/01/how-to-sew-envelope-pillow-cover.html" target="_blank"> envelope pillow</a> cover. I found a tutorial on <a href="http://www.maillardvillemanor.com/" target="_blank">Mini Manor</a>. It's really easy to follow and assembly is quick. If you have ever debating buying new pillows I'd recommend just covering your old ones. It's a lot less expensive and you can pick your own fabric which is always nice.<br />

The 10 acre field is in <a href="http://www.yellowspringsohio.org/" target="_blank">Yellow Springs</a> and it's packed full of beautiful sunny flowers. It's a great spot for pictures.<br />

You know the ones where you just can't seem to be happy with anything you do. You turn into your own worst enemy. You start to think maybe you're just a bad designer. Maybe you only have a certain amount of good ideas in you. You eventually debate giving up, but of course you don't because you love what you do. Still, there is this gap you are trying to fill and you aren't quite sure what the solution is.<br />
<br />
It's a struggle, but it happens to the best of us. Trust me, I know. I just went through one.<br />
<br />
During that time my wonderful husband shared this little segment with me by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ira_Glass" target="_blank">Ira Glass</a> from <i><a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/" target="_blank">This American Life</a></i>. It was just the push I needed to get back on track. If you are feeling this way hopefully it will help you too.</div>

The day started out a big dreary. We planned an excursion to Passion Island, but the rain and lack of sun really wasn't ideal. We made the best of it though.<br />
<br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">We took a speed boat ride on </span><i style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1507298111">Twister </a></i><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.cozumel-tours.com/twister-jet-boat.htm" target="_blank">to Passion Island</a>. We were strapped into our seats and the driver would turn the wheel as fast as he could and we would spin out. It was really fun and scary at the same time. I still can't imagine how it could possibly be safe. Watch this video to get an idea of what it was like.</span><br />

We enjoyed lunch in a little hut consisting of chicken and fish, an assortment of fruits and veggies, chips and salsa, and an open bar. After lunch we checked out the island a bit and found some hammocks. We lounged in them for most of the day sipping on watered down margaritas.<br />

This is pretty much the end of our cruise adventure! Our next day was spent at sea heading back to Florida. We checked out a parade, some food demonstrations, watched a dodgeball tournament, swam in the pool, and did a little shopping. It was nice to have a relaxing day at sea.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Overall the cruise was fantastic. I'd highly recommend you go on one if you haven't. The food was delicious and there were lots of things on and off the boat to keep us entertained. If we didn't want to partake in any activities, lounging by the pool or taking a nap was always a good option too. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><b><br /></b>We arrived in George Town at 8:00 am ready to go on our second excursion, </span><a href="http://www.stingraycitytrips.com/" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">Sting Ray City</a><span style="background-color: white;">, where we would get up close and personal with stingrays! Brian had already enjoyed the experience once before while on a cruise with his family. I on the other hand had not. I was pumped and couldn't wait to get out there.</span><br />
<br />
After a quick breakfast we made our way down to the the small boat, a tender, that would take us to the dock. This was the first and only stop we had where we had tender in, so we didn't realize how long it might take. Here is where we ran into a little problem.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: white;">Our excursion started at 10:00 am that morning. Once we looked at our tickets a little closer we realized it could take up to 45 minutes to get to dock. We didn't head down to board the tender until about 9:30 am. There was a really long line to get to the tender and then it took a while to get everyone on it. By the time we finally docked it was 10:10 am. We were certain we missed the excursion bus. At first I was really disappointed and sad, but then I thought, "I'm in the Grand Cayman with my husband! How could I possibly be upset right now?". We both came to the conclusion that even if we did miss the boat we'd still have a wonderful time exploring the island. Since we had this positive attitude I think things made a turn for the better.</span><br />
<br />
We checked-in at the information booth and asked if the bus for our excursion had left yet. The little old lady working said she was pretty sure it had, but would double check for us. Next thing we know she's running down to another woman asking her to walkie-talkie the bus driver. At this point Brian was certain they said the bus had left and started to walk away. I waited around for a couple more minutes, and wouldn't you know, our bus was just about to leave! I called out to Brian to come back and we quickly ran and climbed on board the already tightly packed bus. Talk about good luck!<br />
<br />
Once our bus made its way to the boat we sailed out to the sea and stopped at the sand bar where all the sting rays came to visit! Some of them were huge and others were much smaller. At first I thought the smaller ones were babies, but I soon found out that the males are small and the females are large. There were also some tropical fish swimming around too!<br />
<br />

<br />
Everyone took turns holding one of the stingrays. We found out later that the one we held was pregnant! I heard from one of the other travelers that you could feel her pregnant belly even. I wish we would have known!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We gave her a big wet kiss. It was pretty slimy and salty.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then we let her swim up onto our shoulders. It was so much fun!<br />
<br />
If you ever get the chance to swim with stingrays you should definitely go for it! Interacting with them in their natural habitat was amazing.<br />
<br />

A quincenaera is similar to a Sweet 16th Birthday here in the states. The biggest difference is that before the celebration there is a Thanksgiving Mass.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><br />Vanessa asked for zebra print and pink to be incorporated into the design of her invitations. With that in mind, I came up with this girly design using a blue zebra stripe and a fresh young font for the birthday girl's name. The invitations were printed on a </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">pearlescent</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"> white card stock and mailed out in pink envelopes.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><br />That morning we arrived in Falmouth, Jamaica and went on our first excursion, a kayak trip to </span><a href="http://www.dunnsriverfallsja.com/" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">Dunn's River Falls</a><span style="background-color: white;">. </span><span style="background-color: white;">The day started with an hour long bus ride down the coast to the ocean. Our tour guide taught us a few Rasta phrases to help pass the time. Some of them were "Iree" which means "Happy", "Nutten" which means "Nothing", and when asked a question instead of saying "Yes" you had to say "Ya Mon". "No problem" is also a very popular phrase because they Rastafarian's are so care free.<br /><br />When we arrived to our destination we were escorted through a resort to the shore where our kayaks awaited. We </span><span style="background-color: white;">climbed into our kayaks and paddled our way through the sea to our destination. We passed over an old coral reef, some beautiful homes, and a dolphin cove (I never saw a dolphin so this may have been a lie). Our tour guide took us to a small waterfall and pushed each of our kayaks through it for a nice refreshing soak. He sang the whole time, which was really happy.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: white;">Once we made our way to the falls we enjoyed a tasty snack, some type of chicken or beef hot pocket like meal, and some juice. Once we were all re-energized it was time to get to climbing. Our tour guides riled us up with singing and cheers of "Wet, wet, wet!", because obviously there was no way to climb the falls and remain dry! Everyone in our group held hands and we made our way up the falls. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><br /><br />Dunn's River Falls isn't like a typical waterfall. It's more like a very long set of steps made from rock that go about 600 feet high. Throughout the falls are several small pools and it is surrounded by lots of lush, green trees. It's also one of the only waterfalls that dumps directly into the sea.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />Our tour guides took pictures and video of our adventure, but we decided to not invest in the images they had to share. </span><span style="background-color: white;">Unfortunately, due to all the water on this trip we didn't get any pictures either. We didn't want to risk destroying our camera (Brian's iPhone). Sorry to disappoint, this one is just going to have to be logged in our noggins. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />If you are really interested in seeing the falls you could watch this video I found. </span><br />

People are always shocked when I tell them this was my favorite port to visit. Haiti doesn't have the best wrap, but when you are dropped off on a sandy beach with clear blue water you really can't complain.<br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: white;">There were two separate beaches accessible from our port. One was right off the boat. It was a little rocky close to shore. You had to walk several feet out into the ocean to get to the sandy part. The other beach had smooth sand all the way from the shore line to the buoys about a half mile out. The only bad thing was you had to walk through the shopping district and fight off the Haitians to get there. I quickly learned what not to do in the shopping districts though. DO NOT follow shop owners to their shop and let them hand you items to hold. They will do whatever they can to get you to buy from them. Then, when you say no, they will make you feel guilty and you're husband will have to drag you away so you don't end up with maracas, a flute, and hand made jewelry you'll never wear.</span><br />

After spending the day in Haiti we grabbed some dinner in the dinning hall and checked out a magic show with <a href="http://www.drewthomasmagic.com/about">Drew Thomas</a>. He was on the popular NBC show, America's Got Talent, a few years back. He did several disappearing acts and even made it snow! It really was amazing. If you ever get a chance to see him, go for it.<br />
