Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty relaxed. We’re still adjusting to life as a family of three, but the kids are doing a good job of keeping in touch. This makes me incredibly happy. My biggest worry was that they’d lose touch with us and/or each other. But we usually send or…
#FMSPHOTOADAY on Instagram
Happy Monday! Are you ready for a new week? I am. This’ll be my first full week back at work. In fact, it’ll be everyone’s first full week back at work. We had last week off due to a water main break. While I was off, I decided to join the photo a day challenge…
Instagram Week in Review
So it seems that I took an unplanned break from blogging. Not exactly sure what I was doing during that time, but let’s just all agree that I enjoyed it. The students have returned to campus so that means the games have begun… I found this little guy on the mezzanine in the library. We’ll…
Instagram Week in Review
My vacation has officially come to an end and it’s time to get back to the grind. It was a working vacation: kids moving into dorms, another kid starting her Senior year of high school, and other random bits of crazy. This has probably been one of the hardest and most emotionally/spiritually draining weeks of…
Instagram Week in Review: Hands
Hello, my friends! I hope you had a great weekend. I did. I spent time with my family, caught up on my sleep, and watched the season premier of Hell on Wheels. I’m totally addicted to that show. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out: Saturday nights on AMC. Every week I look…
Let’s Celebrate: Make August Beautiful
As many of you know, August is going to be a touch month for me: my middle daughter is returning to college, my twins are starting to college, and my baby is beginning her last year of high school. This is all too much. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to celebrate this…
Instagram Week in Review
Hello. How was your weekend? Mine was OK. I started watching two new shows: The Lottery and MANH(A)TTAN. I’m not sure how I feel about them yet. For the record, I’m still trying to work out my feelings about Extant. I’m happy that these new shows require thought and emotional involvement. I don’t know about you,…
Throwback Thursday: Photography, the Beginning
And this is where it all began. My husband and I were walking through an underground tunnel and the light was just incredible. I snapped and a hobby was born. It wasn’t until a few years later that The Hubs surprised me with a Nikon D3100, but it all began with a cell phone, timing,…
Instagram Week in Review
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty nice. I spent time with The Hubs ~ breakfast, the River Walk, and church. Nice and quiet, just how we like it. We’re still tossing around RV ideas. I think we’ve both decided that we want to buy an old Airstream and remodel it. That’s big…
How to Do an Instagram Takeover
Last month, I had the honor of taking over the Cape Girardeau Visitor’s Bureau Instagram account. It was quite possibly one of the most fun experiences of my time here in Cape. Imagine walking down the street and having people say “Hey, you’re the girl who’s taking the pictures, aren’t you?” Just fun. But if…
