2017 Best Nine on Instagram
I’ve heard 2017 described in a variety of ways. Most of them unpleasant, courtesy of the current political and social climate. And, I can’t lie, it hasn’t always been easy. There’ve been times when I’ve wanted to bury my head under the covers and cry because of the heaviness of it all, but then I…
Product Review: Camera Strap by Chic Threads by Amy
I did not receive any compensation for this post. I’m just sharing because I was asked and I really like my camera strap. A friend of mine asked about my camera strap, so I thought I’d share a few things about why I use them and why I chose the one that I did… My…

Project 52: My Life in Pictures {Week 16}
This year I’m participating in three different photography challenges. I know, I know. I do this every year and by the middle of February I tap out. Well, this year is different. These are 52 week projects, so I’m only obligated to take 3 photos a week instead of 1 photo a day. You see,…
