Remember when you were a kid and you used to play “Tag”? So. Much. Fun. Well, now I’m playing the grown~up bloggy version of “Tag”. Someone tags you and then you have to answer a series of questions and then tag other folks. Unlike in elementary school, I’ve been tagged by two people: Lisa from…
Brussels Sprouts, Squash and Whole Wheat Pasta {Meatless Monday}
The hubs and I have been eating a pretty much vegetarian meal for the last week and can I tell you how good we feel? Leading up to the week, the hubs was grumbling about the prospect of giving up his beloved steaks and I was dreading giving up coffee. And there were the haunting…
Random Saturday and a Winner
1. My baby is 15 today. My plan was to ignore her until the exact time of her birth, except no one can remember what time she was born. I remember 2 things from that day: Yelling “Get it out of me!” Obviously, no drugs were involved in the delivery of this child Turning to…
Moss Covered Tree Trunk {Shoot. Edit. Submit.}
This is probably my favorite picture from my photo walk this week. I dunno, there’s something about fallen trees and moss… I want to know what felled the tree. Was it a bad storm? Did the tree rot? And how long did it take the moss to grow? I know, my thoughts are completely random…
Cape Girardeau Conservation Center {This or That Thursday}
After running some errands, Miss 18 and I decided to stop by the Conservation Center and go for a walk. I love it there. It’s so peaceful and quiet. Well, you know, except when you get down in the woods and you hear stuff moving amongst the trees but you don’t see anything. That’s kinda…

I’m no where near the skill level of the other participants but the only way to get better is to challenge yourself, right? So that’s my intention ~ to push myself to be better. The first assignment…
Me, a Biblical Fitness Guru? Whatchoo Talking ‘Bout?
My pastor is sneaky. Ever since we started attending this church, he’s been trying to figure out a way to get me involved. With people. Talking to them. Sharing with them. Just doing something. And each time he’s given me a task, I’ve politely declined. Not because I’m hard headed or anything but because I…
My Plans for 2012 {Photography}
Wow! Can you believe it, we’ve made it to 2012! throws confetti I’m so very excited for what this new year will bring for me both personally and professionally. Yesterday, my daughter wrote the very first post for 2012 and I couldn’t agree more with her words ~ she said instead of sitting back and…
Miss 14: The Year that Was and the Year to Come {Guest Post}
Once upon a time, Miss 14 went through my blog and counted how many times I mentioned her and found her numbers to be woefully low. As a remedy, I suggested that she write a guest post about whatever struck her fancy. She took the challenge and has now written her second guest post for…
*CLOSED* My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbooking Software {Review and Giveaway ~ $39.97 Value}
When Miss 18 was born, I sat down with my art supplies and started putting together a scrapbook/baby book that I was sure would bring a smile to her face and tears to my eyes in the years to come. For two years, I maintained her baby book ~ updating it with photos, notes, comics…
