Brown Sneakers {Shoe Style Saturday}
Hi! Welcome to my space on the web, I hope you’ll join me on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter. This picture was taken outside the hotel in Columbia, Missouri where I stayed while at an ebook retreat. The shoes are scuffy ol’ sneaks that I usually only wear when I’m traveling or working around the house. They’re not particularly attractive, but they serve their purpose. Really, you’d think with all the shoes I have that I’d have at least one comfy yet cute pair. And just for a some fun, how about a little game of “If I Were…”? If I were a gemstone, I’d be a piece of Amber If I were a…

Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #11 {Cinchspiration}
I don’t have any weight loss pictures this week. See what had happened was… Um, I simply didn’t take any. I’m not gonna lie, I’m not happy with my progress so far. I thought this far into the Cinch Inch Weight Loss Program that I would have lost a decent amount of weight. Instead, I seem to keep losing the same 3 lbs over and over again. Not fun. In fact, it’s quite frustrating. I see the pictures of my other Team #Cinchspiration friends and I gasp at the changes that I see in them… Thinner faces, smaller waist lines, lower numbers on the scale, etc. Then I look at myself…

Things That Leave Me Scratchin’ My Head {Coffee Talk}
1. Did you know you could get fired for mooning your boss? Apparently, Jason Selch didn’t know this until he took his bosses at Bank of America to court for firing him after he mooned them. Ummmm, even grade schoolers know they’ll get in trouble if they whip their butts out in public so why this grown man didn’t realize this is beyond me. I sure hope his 15 seconds of satisfaction was worth the millions he lost in bonuses, salary, etc. 2. So a judge has ordered a sex change operation for a prisoner serving a life sentence for the 1990 murder of his wife. Seriously? This is what my…

Abandoned Egg {This or That Thursday}
The hubs found the nest under the lid on our propane tank. I’m sure by now that there’s probably nothing in the shell but y’all know my fear of birds (shell or not) so I didn’t touch anything to find out. And, omg, so many feathers on the nest! I’m linking up with: Deb Duty Photography ~ This or That Thursday

Squeekerz Came Home with a New Family
If you’ve been following me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter then you know that our dog, Squeekerz, ran away last Friday morning, leaving the family heartbroken. Well, he returned late Saturday afternoon after a week long adventure and he didn’t come back alone… Late Saturday afternoon, The Boy and I were sitting downstairs talking when I happened to look out the window and see a big fluffy black something in the backyard. A few feet behind the black something I saw a little tan something dart across the yard. I called the boy to the window and said “What’s that?”, he replied “Oh, it’s a black cat.” I squinted and said, “No,…

Red Cowboy Boots {Shoe Style Saturday}
So much has happened in the two weeks that I’ve been offline… First, let’s talk about those boots, shall we? Aren’t they fantabulous? Ever since we moved to the South I’ve been dying to get a pair of cowboy boots. Full southern experience, y’all…. Anyway, I picked these beauties up at a cute little consignment shop called The Clothes Line for all of $8.75! Score! The most exciting thing is that we’ve moved into a new house. Honest to goodness, this is our dream home. From the colors to the carpet to the front porch, everything about this place feels like it was custom made for us. I cannot wait…

Things That Leave Me Scratchin’ My Head {Coffee Talk}
1. First of all, if you live in the Southeast Missouri area take a minute and look at our dog, Squeekerz, he’s been missing since last week. You can view his picture here. If you’ve seen him, please contact me at outsidethestacks@live.com. Thank you so much! 2. Clint Eastwood was the mystery speaker at the Republican National Convention. sigh I love his movies. He plays the cantankerous guy with a heart of gold really well but seeing him last night was, well, kinda sad. I want him to always be Dirty Harry. I want him to always be that grizzled man’s man who makes women swoon. I don’t want him to…

Squeekerz {Missing Dog Alert}
This has been a very difficult week for my family and me. Last Friday morning, our beloved dog of 10 years, Squeekerz, decided to go for a walk without his leash or his humans. Those of you who are long time readers know that Squeekerz has become quite a fixture in my photography. He’s a first class photo bomber! And often likes to pose for pictures (this after spending many months getting over his fear of the camera sounds). I’ve never been a big proponent of pet chipping, honestly, the thought of putting something inside my dog sort made me feel all Big Brotherish… But after this past week, I…

SOAP: We Were Created in His Image {#B90Days}
SCRIPTURE Genesis 1:27 (NIV) So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. OBSERVATION Throughout the whole story of creation, God speaks things into existence, he says “Let there be light” and there is light (Genesis 1:14) and he tells the land to produce living creatures according to its kind (Genesis 1:24) but when it comes to man, he takes the time to form man out of the dust of the earth. But he doesn’t just throw together stuff to make man, he said “Let us make man after our own image” (Genesis 1:26), which means that…
