Berryland has asparagus?

Most of us, I would guess, don't even know how asparagus grows, right? Well, there's a rumor going around that you might be able to go and u-pick some of your own at Beeriland in Bottmingen, CH!

A friend of mine has been to Beeriland for berries on many occasion and she was told that asparagus season is about to begin. (It could be early this year due to the bizarre weather we are having...). According to www.beeriland.ch/ the season begins mid-April. Check out their website! They also have information on when the different types of berries are in season! Go to "erntezeiten".

Having picked for money/fun as a child I really look forward to checking this place out!

OH! And there's an ASPARAGUS FESTIVAL to boot!! Mark the date: 4-6 May!

Wonderful Pictures, Wonderful Gal!

Recently I've seen many posts on the desire for a good photographer and photos. Whether it be for chronicling a pregnancy or celebrating a family gathering, private or professional, we all need good photos, right?

Well, I know this amazing gal and photographer! She has done photos for us on a few occasions and she is just magical. She knows how to connect with her "subjects" and she can use any location to make wonderful memories for years to come.


I've shared a few of our photos from Erin here, but don't just take my word for it, check out her blog: http://www.erineagleman.com/.
