Week 7: Happy Valentine’s Day!
Week 7: Love Nikon D7500 | 55mm | f/5.6 | 1/125 | ISO 220 Edited with Picmonkey 2018 saw the introduction of a new 52 week photography project, which has me totally excited. This year I want to really step out creatively and learn/practice new skills. I’d also really like to do more than just make photos of my morning coffee, although I do enjoy that. Instead of sharing a few things that made me happy this week, I want to share something that makes me happy every day: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall…

Shoot the Moon {A Tutorial}
You guys, this is my first photography tutorial! cheer I’m not by any stretch of the imagination a professional, but I have been asked to share how I achieve some of my shots, so I thought why not? If I can share what I know to help someone else have fun then yay! I’ll be honest, I’ve learned a lot from following people on Instagram, watching YouTube, and reading the camera manual. I cannot stress enough that you really need to know how your camera works in order to make the best images. After you learn what does what, take your camera off Auto and learn to find the light.…

Week 6: Street Photography

This year I want to really step out creatively and learn/practice new skills. I’d also really like to do more than just make photos of my morning coffee, although I do enjoy that.

This week I decided to share some things that I’m loving this week: Were you a fan of Sister, Sister…

Ageless Style Linkup: I Saw It On TV
THE AGELESS STYLE LINKUP Hi, welcome to the Ageless Style Linkup. The linkup runs the first Tuesday of each month and features 10 women over the age of 40 styling an outfit based on one theme, and, because we’re all so different, each theme interpretation is different. Each month, one of the co-hosts invites a guest co-host to join us for the linkup. It was my turn to pick the theme and the co-host this month. I chose “I Saw It On TV” because I’m probably the most TV obsessed librarian you’ll ever meet. The thing is, I don’t just watch for the entertainment value, I watch for inspiration {be it clothes,…

New Specs from Firmoo {and a discount code}

I purchased my glasses with my own money; the opinions shared is my own. I was about 7 or 8 years old when I got my first pair of glasses. I remember walking out of the doctor’s office, looking at my mom, and saying “I didn’t know there were individual leaves on trees.” For years, trees had looked like brown rectangles with green circles. And people looked like walking blurs. I didn’t know what I wasn’t seeing until I did. My vision was bad. It’s still incredibly bad. My…

Wear for Work: Burgundy Sweater and Denim Skirt
Y’all, the weather this week has been all over the place. One day we’re freezing, the next it’s practically summer. I mean, I really need it to pick a season and last longer than 24 hours. And today it snowed. It. SNOWED. Everyone’s walking around all sniffly and everything. I still have residual <insert snorty noise here> from the flu. In fact, I’m pretty sure that The Walking Dead was prophetic and Georgia really is ground zero for the plague. One of my favorite go to looks to ward off the chill is an over-sized sweater paired with tights and boots. To me, it’s just the ultimate in coziness. How…

Be Brave
I used to tell my kids they should do one thing in their life that they can look back on and think Ohmygosh, I cannot believe I did that! You know, something that their kids or spouse will have to call me to verify. In other words, live boldly. Not dangerously. Boldly. There’s a difference. When I was in the Army, I was stationed in Korea for a year and I loved it. I used to spend my weekends hanging out with local Koreans. You know, dancing and eating all kinds of foods that I couldn’t identify. I spoke very little Korean. Truth be told, all I could say was…
