Couple recreate wedding photos at Target

MORGANTOWN, W.Va., Oct. 21 (UPI) -- A West Virginia couple expressed their love for each other and Target by recreating their wedding photos in the store for their one-year anniversary.
Photographer Callie Lindsey snapped the unique photos of bride and groom Lauren and Corey Rexroad after Lauren said the Target store was the only thing missing from their wedding shoot a year prior.
"Newlyweds Corey and Lauren took a walk down the home goods aisle of Target, fed each other popcorn and Icees in the cafe, and snuggled on the display couch in aisle C13," Lindsey said.
Rexroad told ABC News there's "not a lot to do" in Morgantown and she spent a lot of time at Target with her husband throughout their first year of marriage.
"There's a big hill and on top of that hill is Target. We are there all the time, especially being newlyweds and decorating our first home," she said.
Rexroad and Lindsey contacted the local Target location who were happy to accommodate the two-hour photo session.
Rexroad's husband was initially taken aback by the idea but she said he eventually found it "hilarious" as did she.
"It was hysterical," she said. "We got out of the car and as soon as I stepped out of the car I could feel eyes everywhere. People were like peeking out of their windows."
The photos went viral after Lindsey posted them on social media, even being shared by Target's official Twitter page.
"I was very surprised when Target reached out via Instagram and asked to share one of the photos," she told UPI. "I don't have a Twitter account, so when a friend sent me the link it was pretty exciting. But after a few minutes, it was back to work as usual for the day."
While both Lindsey and the Rexroads thoroughly enjoyed the in-store photoshoot, she doesn't expect to do another.
"While it was a fun shoot to be a part of and I loved working with Corey and Lauren, I don't think any of us plan on doing a shoot in a store again in the future!" Lindsey said.

Which Home Upgrades Really Pay Off?

(NewsUSA) - Sponsored News - If you don't care about blowing tens of thousands of dollars on upgrades that add little or nothing to your house's value, you might as well stop reading this and go Google "Pokemon Go" for updates on the latest weird mishaps to befall distracted players. But if you do care -- and you'd especially better if you intend to ever sell -- then Remodeling magazine's annual Cost vs. Value Report for 2016 is must reading.
Still there? Thought so.
So let's begin by acknowledging what's perhaps the report's biggest takeaway: All the academics and real-estate pros are right to "tout the value of projects that promote curb appeal." Read on to see why, and where else your money is or isn't well spent.
* Worth it: a new front door.
You're looking at returns on investment of 91.1 percent for a steel one and 82.3 percent for a more upscale (and expensive) fiberglass one. Of course, a fresh coat of paint on your existing door can help spiff things up too.
* Not worth it: upscale bathroom remodeling.
You may think everyone shares your dream of a huge bathroom with a whirlpool tub, heated towel bars, and stone countertops. Not so, warns Patsy O'Neill, a sales associate with Sotheby's in Montclair, New Jersey: "You could spend $60,000 or so on it, and it still might not suit a buyer's taste." Which helps explain why it has one of the worst returns on investment.
* Worth it: fiberglass attic insulation.
A huge win for greenies. The magazine finally agreed to add an energy-efficiency project, and it topped the list by recouping 116.9 percent of its cost.
* Not worth it: composite deck addition.
Another also-ran -- and, no, Alaska didn't skew the results. But be aware that sometimes even the seemingly coolest upgrades may simply be out of whack for a particular neighborhood. "You can turn your house into a palace, but the payoff will be small if it's the only mansion on the block," Craig Webb, Remodeling's editor-in-chief, tells Time.com.
* Worth it: a new roof.
"Buyers pay a premium for one already in place," according to Credit.com. No kidding. A perennial Remodeling magazine A-lister, it's the ultimate curb appeal enhancer when you consider that your roof is the first thing prospective buyers notice even before exiting their cars.
And if yours looks like something out of "Twister"? "It's a huge turn-off," says O'Neill, "and makes buyers predisposed to find even more things they don't like." If your roof needs replacing, check out the Value Collection Lifetime Designer Shingles from GAF (gaf.com), North America's largest roofing manufacturer, which have the look of luxury shingles at a very affordable price. And remember: Don't be afraid to use a new roof as the "negotiating tool" with buyers that Credit.com says it is.
Watch the video here.
* Not worth it: an upscale master suite.
Those same "taste" issues aside, returns of only about half your investment make this yet another expensive miss

Parenting...
Bates Family Grows as
Daughters Become Moms

(NewsUSA) - Sponsored News - What is it about families and reality TV that have us tuning in on a regular basis? Is it watching a family dynamic unfold? Is it the drama? Whatever it is, UP TV's "Bringing Up Bates" has families hooked.
The series stars the Tennessee-based Bates Family, Gil and Kelly Jo, and their 19 children. Over the course of four seasons, viewers have watched the Bates family experience the joys of marriage proposals to health scares to baby showers, as this ever-growing family continues to navigate life's triumphs and challenges.
Matriarch Kelly Jo has brought up the Bateses a certain way, but viewers have followed Erin Paine, Whitney Bates and Alyssa Webster in their journey through motherhood as they navigate their own way of parenting. In the final episodes this season, fans will see the much-anticipated arrivals of the two newest Bates grandbabies. For Erin, who has a new lullaby piano album coming out soon, growing up in a large family as one of the older children helped her to learn responsibility at an early age. This, she says, has translated to her everyday life.
"Having a little one that comes running to you for comfort, love, and affection, in addition to giving it, is a priceless treasure," she says.
Whitney Bates, youngest of the three new moms, admits that as a young mother, she has a lot to learn, but relishes the time she gets to spend with Bradley and Kaci Lynn.
"Being a mother to me means investing in my children's lives and getting to love them more than you ever imagined was even possible." For an only child, marrying into a family of 19 can be a bit of a culture shock, but Whitney says at the end of the day, watching the Bates' interact with one another helped prepare her for motherhood.
"When little problems, loud noises, inconveniences or arguments come up, they [the Bates] learned to work through them," she says.
As for Alyssa, motherhood, she says, has definitely taken her by surprise.
"I don't think anyone can ever fully prepare themselves for it [motherhood], but growing up with so many younger siblings was like taking a beginner course on parenting times 10!"
Currently expecting her second child, Alyssa says she hopes to raise a generation that has "character and shows kindness to others," while accepting the inherent challenges that come with being a parent.
"Motherhood is one of the greatest blessings I have ever experienced," she says, "but it requires a lot of dedication and patience."
"Bringing Up Bates" airs Thursdays at 9 pm ET on the family-focused network, UP TV.
