...keeps the lunch box colorful and healthy. Check out this month's issue of Curious Parents magazine for some grand slam lunch ideas. A big thanks to cover model, Norah, who is super cute and so much fun in front of the camera.

 

Walter. Patrick. Two brothers on a road trip. Really a journey. A journey to celebrate and inspire the American entrepreneurial spirit. Mllion Dollar Road Trip (MDRT) promises to be the most memorable marketing tool on the road. These Notre Dame grads are selling $1 Million of advertising on the exterior of their Airstream trailer and having a lot fun along the way.

Don't think that the entrepreneurial bug is something new for these two, of six, brothers. Yes, I did just say six brothers! Back some 15 years or so, I remember a younger elementary version of this posse announcing from the sidewalk (or, really the middle of the street) about their fabulous lemonade for sale. They had me hook, line and sinker.

Now, all these years later, they are still at it and again I'm on board. My brand is proudly displayed curbside on this giant moving funmobile. You have to see the Airstream for yourself. It's so cool. Advertising sales is just part of the magic of this adventure. The MDRT duo is doing what they love to do, and they want to meet other people who are doing the same. They are finding other young Americans who are passionately pursuing their own projects, and are sharing their stories with their followers.

Every other week MDRT is choosing a recipient for their Inspiration Grants.  Each Inspiration Grant winner receives a no-strings cash grant and free advertising space on the Million Dollar Road Trip. Do you know any inspiring young Americans who deserve this amazing grant?

How can you get involved? Well, first go to their website MDRT and get your brand emblazoned on the Al Leroy (that's the name of the Airstream) Follow these guys on Twitter and know where they are and want fun they are up to at the moment. Twitter: MillionDollarRT  Right now they are in Manhattan, and then off the Williamsport for the Little League World Series. Finally, give them a shout out and tell them why your town or city should be a destination on their tour. I'm telling you - these guys are FUN!

This little guy (only 6 days old) joins his family as boy number three. Three of a kind. It does well in Vegas and in any lucky family. Isn't he just so perfect?

Now for a little public service announcement. The studio will be closed August 18 - August 23 and will reopen on Tuesday, August 24th. All phones calls and emails will be returned upon our return.

Enjoy these last few lazy hazy days of summer with your three of kind, or whatever combination you call yours.

Willow is our newest friend at the studio. Actually, we're so lucky she arrived safely, because our dog, Libby, was jealous that Willow was sitting shotgun on the way to the studio and had other plans for her. Willow is showing off just one of the super cool new backgrounds that we have for fun, bright and colorful sessions. I can't wait to show you all of them!

I haven't had one in a million years, but it's immediately what I think of what I see the adorable little B as he rocks this hip and happening color. So stinkin' cute! Of course, ahead of this cutie pie, is his equally photogenic and oh-so-expressive big sister, A. Did I mention that I love my "job."
