Thursday Likes {In the Cafe}

I thought I’d try something new on Thursdays; instead of just posting a picture and linking to my flickr account, I thought I’d share a couple of things I’ve found while surfing the web. These may be links to products I think are cool, blog posts I find interesting, or outfits I absolutely love… I…

November Photo A Day {Instagram}

cue the cheering crowds I did it! I did it! I took 30 photos for 30 days. I cannot believe I did it. Some of the photos have been less inspired than others but, you know what, it’s my life and I thank God for each and every day of it. Day 25: sky This…

November Photo A Day {Instagram}

Time for another week in review, Instagram style. I’m so enjoying this Photo A Day Challenge, it’s fun to look back over the week and see all that’s happened. The prompts may seem random but it really requires a bit of creativity to capture memories… Day 18: happened this weekend The hubs made dinner for…

November Photo A Day {Instagram}

It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon and I’m sitting here reviewing last week’s pictures from Fat Mum Slim’s Photo A Day Challenge. My inner critic is wishing that I’d been a bit more creative with the prompts but the quitter in me is celebrating the fact that I have 10 pictures posted. one of my favorite…

Happy Mother’s Day

This morning my kids did something they’ve never done before ~ they made me breakfast.  In bed. I got up because I heard Squeekerz scratching at my door, not because he really wanted to be in my room but because he wanted to be away from the kids.  Have I mentioned that our dog hates…

Day 25: My Day in Great Detail

Be prepared to be incredibly bored…. 06:15  Wake up 06:30  Drive the kids to the bus stop 06:35~07:00  Watch a variety of news programs; I start with Fox News, flip to CNN then land on The Daily Buzz (Fox bothers me because of the political and familial nepotism, CNN rocks it out with their music…

Day 4: My Favorite Books

When I was a little girl, my favorite place in the world was the library.  I was a nerdy little girl who was often the object of a lot of teasing and the butt of endless jokes, and the library was the one place the bullies never seemed to enter.  The librarian, Mr. Wolford, would…

Day 3: My Favorite Television Shows

Ok, at this point I’ve just totally given up on picking just one of anything…  I’m 37 years old, there’s a lot of music playing, book reading, television and movie watching wrapped up in those years. I tried not to list every television show that I’ve ever watched, but I wanted to list shows that…

Day 8: Sharing My Favorite Posts

I’ve found that interlinking posts probably benefits me more than it benefits my readers.  You know, I go back through old posts and I’m like dang, did I really write that?  That’s pretty good.  Sometimes you have to pat yourself on the back, especially when others won’t or don’t do it.  Usually when I interlink…

I’ve Received the Versatile Blogger Award

Blushes furiously… Wow, you know, to be recognized once or twice by your peers is a compliment but to be recognized a third time?  I stutter.  Words fail me.  Probably not a good thing for a blog, where I’m supposed to, you know, write.  So what I’m blathering on about?  Aimee at girl talk has…
