Week in Review: Week 16
Good morning! One of the major things that I’ve learned from blogging and photography is that we need to document our lives. It may seem a little narcissistic and a tad bit crazy but think about all those moments you wish you’d captured… Not the big planned moments but the little ones that seemed insignificant at the time, those are the ones that make up our lives… So my challenge to you, my friends is to get your cameras (cell phones count) and take pictures for one day out of your life. You don’t have to share them, just keep them. And make sure that you’re in at least one…

Week in Review: Week 15
Just about every morning I post a picture of myself with a cup of coffee. I do this as a way of connecting with my friends and just starting my day off right. As much as I’d love to sit with each of you, share a cup of coffee, and enjoy a laugh, I know that’s not possible… So this is my way of making it happen. If you’re on Instagram or Facebook, please feel free to share a picture of yourself with your favorite beverage. Last Spring, these little guys were all over the library as part of a game being played by students. I thought it was creative…

Weekend in Review: Week 14
Hi! How was your weekend? Mine was long and emotionally exhausting. My twins are seniors this year, so I’ve been trying to adjust to the idea of them not being home anymore. So very difficult. The Hubs, The Boy, and I spent a couple of days at Missouri S&T, where The Boy will be an engineering major in the Fall. I’m so not ready. I know I should be celebrating the fact that our jobs as parents have resulted in two young adults who’re ready to take on the world, but all I keep seeing are my babies. Leaving home. OK. Enough. My favorite coffee picture from last week. The…

Weekend in Review: Week 13
Are we all agreed that we need a day between Sunday and Monday? It really feels like the weekend goes by too quickly… Did you notice that I changed the title of this post? Well, I noticed it’s less about selfies and more about documenting my weekend and sharing the memories. I’ll be the first to admit that my life isn’t glamorous, nor is it always fun and exciting, but it’s my life and I truly believe nothing is ordinary… My favorite coffee picture of the week. I’m not sure why, but sometimes The Boy likes to stick his thumb on my forehead. This was one of those moments. The…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 12
Happy Monday, y’all. How was your weekend? Mine was pretty nice. The Hubs and I did our usual weekend thing: breakfast and window shopping {which led to me meeting an online acquaintance face to face, more about that later this week}, laundry doing, and family time with The Walking Dead. I also caught up on some blog reading, online game playing, and laughs with my sister. Overall, a weekend well spent. And here are some pictorial highlights from last week: All that’s left of my birthday flowers are the dried heads. Kinda morbid but romantic, right? My family room is BORING. As in there’s nothing down there but a sofa,…

5 Ridiculously Easy Steps to Update Your Facebook Cover for Spring
Raise your hand if you’re ready for Spring. taking note of all the hands waving wildly in the air. I see you back there, jumping up and down wildly. Trust me, I’m right there with you. All of this snow and ice and cold weather has me kicking rocks, y’all. But rather than continue to risk injury, I decided to do something constructive: a digital spruce up. And I did it using quite possibly the easiest photo editor in all of the Internet: PicMonkey. Seriously, if you haven’t tried it, you need to get on it now. Shameless PicMonkey shoutout: many of the cool tools are free but it’s so…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 11 {In the Dark Room}
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was nice. Spent some time with the family, which is always a blessing. I love it when we can all get together for meals, especially now that those times are few and far between. We’re missing Mrs. 27 and her family but someday… I complained about the snow. Yes, more snow and ice. After a day of near 70º temperatures. And, of course, I enjoyed copious amounts of coffee. Here are some pictures from last week: The hubs had flowers delivered to my office last week for our anniversary; this rose was such an unusual color that it instantly became my favorite. I’ve…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 8 {In the Dark Room}
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was absolutely wonderful: the sun was out, I disconnected from work, and I got to hang out with my family. Seriously, what more could I ask for? Not much, I tell ya. Well, I’ve decided to revamp my 2014 Daily Selfie posts. I knew this would happen… But I’m tired of me. I know the point of the challenge is to document ourselves and our lives, to provide a visual memory of our feelings {be they good or bad}, but I just couldn’t keep it up. So, I’m going to share my favorite Instagram pictures from the previous week and tell the story…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 7 {In the Dark Room}
Happy Monday, everyone! Are you off today for President’s Day? I’m not. In fact, I’ll be sitting in my office trying not to fall asleep. I woke up way too early, 3 something, and couldn’t fall back to sleep. I hate when that happens. Does that ever happen to you? How do you settle back down? Here’s my week in pictures: I noticed a theme with this week’s selfies, they all involved coffee. I think I really need to diversify. What was the highlight of your week? I’m linking up with: 2014 Daily Selfie ~ Instagram: I’m doing this with a few of my Instagram friends. “Selfie” is open to…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 6 {In the Dark Room}
Hey, how’s it going? All’s well here, considering the crazy amount of snow and ice we’ve had. Seriously, I’m so over it. My kids haven’t been to school in 11 days. Eleven. Days. That’s just not right. Especially since I had to go to work every one of those days… Day 33 New plant purchase for the office. Hope I don’t kill it… Day 34 I think he was faking illness for attention. Day 35 Just sitting there watching everyone leave ahead of the snow storm… Day 36 Mmmmm…. Day 37 I need a fancy headset for telephone conferences, preferably one that looks like a tiara. Day 38 On behalf…
