Happy Monday, you beautiful ladies! Today’s post is all about this AMAZING camera bag from Jo Totes. Like seriously, it’s the best. For a long time, I have been carrying around my camera in a very stiff boxy old camera bag that I had to pad with some burlap. It was high time I moved on up in the world. Enter, Jo Totes. This camera bag is perfect. It’s a fun trendy pattern and basically looks like a purse. But it’s all insulated inside and has little compartments that you can adjust to fit your needs. Plus it still fits my wallet, keys, phone, etc so I can just bring the camera bag only and not have to worry about lugging a purse around too. I love it! If you are in need of good camera bag, be sure to check out all their great bags!

How was everyone’s Valentine’s Day weekend?! Mine turned out amazing. I say “turned out” because there were a few bumps along the way. 😛 Ben worked a 24-hour shift and got home Saturday morning and went to take a little nap while I worked out and did some quick errands and packed up the car. If you read my posts last week, you know we were going to try to go camping. Whelp, we sure did try. We tried three sites. And they were all booked up. To be honest, even though there was a possibility we might not get a site, I thought for sure we would, so I had already been having visions of walks on the beach and cuddles by the camp fire. I was super sad. I might have even cried a little. This was our last weekend together before Ben starts the fire academy, and I wanted it to be really special. Wellll, my hubby is basically the best, and he suggested we come home and camp in the backyard. I was still feeling a little down but I decided to play along, and I seriously cannot tell you how MUCH fun we had! It almost still felt like we weren’t at home. We set up our tent, drove to In-N-Out to get dinner and then sat around the campfire and listened to country music and talked. And even slept the whole night in our tent. 😛 In the morning we had coffee and breakfast and went to the Getty Villa and Stumptown Coffee in L.A.. It was the most perfect weekend. I always have a hard time when I have certain expectations about what’s going to happen, and then it changes. So I’m extra thankful for a hubby that knows how to cheer me up and help to make the best out of everything. This weekend is literally something I will remember forever, and it wasn’t even planned.

Thanks for reading!

xo,

Christine
