I’m behind two weeks, so I’m having to double up on the pictures and raid the vault. Between emptying the old house, living in a hotel, and then moving to Georgia, I haven’t had my camera out in an incredibly long time. I miss it. This week’s prompt: Silhouette This was taken in my living…
The Big Chop
I finally did it! I chopped off my hair and am now 100% natural! I’d been transitioning {going without a chemical hair straightener for almost a year} and was getting fairly bored with my hair and frustrated with the dual textures. In fact, I got so frustrated that I shaved off the right side of…
Playing Catch Up
So, we’re finally here in Georgia. I can’t believe it. After all of those months of counting down, we’re finally here and settling in to our new home. But before we left, we took some time to celebrate: 1. All five of the kids together in one place at the same time in I don’t…
5 Types of Photos All Bloggers Should Stockpile
Have you ever written a fabulous post and then realized that you don’t have a photo to go along with it? Yes? Good, I’m glad I’m not the only one. This has happened to me so much that I decided to make sure that it never rarely happens again. For me, this means having a stockpile of photos that…

I’ve done things that I’ve never done before: served as a point of contact for bathroom and elevator renovations {I know way too much about the…
The Light at the End of the Tunnel {and it isn’t a train}
This is my last full week of work and, man, things are getting real. Next week, the movers will be coming to the house to pack up our stuff and ship it off to Georgia. And the following week I’ll be watching my baby walk across the stage to get her high school diploma. Where did…
Week 18: Black and White {#OurProject52}
This is my last full week of work, so I’ve been busy making sure that all the little things are done, so I haven’t really had time to get out with my camera and take new pictures. That means I had to dig through my archives to see what I could find to convert to…
Dress Over Jeans {Repost}
You guys, today we’re having my going away party at work. This makes my leaving all work official and e’erything. As of today I have 6 work days left and that’s it. Things go into overdrive. The packers will be boxing up my stuff and shipping it off to Georgia, my daughter will be graduating…
Salads to Try from Pinterest
One of the things that The Hubs and I have agreed to do once we make the big move to Georgia and settle down is to start adding salads to our meals. Those of you who follow me on Instagram, know already that I’m a big salad lover and would eat them for every meal…
