Mmm... sea salt + ice cream

Nathan would tell you without hesitation that I'm a little weird when it comes to desserts. Its not that I dislike desserts, I just don't have much of a sweet tooth. That's why he usually ends up with his slice of pie and mine (minus two bites). These are pictures from our trip to Portland a few weeks ago, when Jen took us to the neatest little ice-cream place: The Salt and Straw. It was perfect for me because the had a variety of unconventional ingredients that combined salty and sweet flavors. I played it safe with sea salt and caramel ribbons, but I could have had ice cream with dandelion, rhubarb, blue cheese, or balsamic vinegar. 

The question of self-portraits...

I was looking through my photos and I realized something; I don't have very many photos of myself. It's gotten much worse since Clara's birth. Not only is she so much more fun to photograph, but I'm also dealing with my own issues in accepting my post- pregnancy body. After you have a baby, it's easy to feel like your body is someone else's; it doesn't look, feel, or move like it used to.

It's not that I hate any picture of myself, I just hate most of them.  I am going to make an effort to change this in the future. Maybe if I take enough pictures (not in a narcissistic way), I can overcome this aversion to seeing me in a photo, because an important part of documenting my daughter's life is documenting my role in it.
