Book Girl Magic Reading Challenge
This post contains an affiliate link. If you make a purchase using that link, I will make a commission at no extra charge to you. Along with improving my photography skills, I want to read more this year. You’d think that I’d read a lot since I’m a librarian, but I don’t. I mean, I buy books, start them, put them down to watch This Is Us and never pick them up again. This year, I’m going to meet my goal of 12 books for the year. Baby steps, y’all.

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 think of all the ways that I’ve been blessed and I can’t help but to say “Thank You, Lord, for all that I’ve been given.” I look at my the photos from my Instagram feed and I see health, happiness, and restoration. I see a couple doing something they never really thought they’d get to…

Visit Cape Instagram Takeover
You guys, I’ve been almost at the bursting point with excitement for the last few weeks and now I’m finally able to share… I’ve been invited by the Cape Girardeau Visitor’s Bureau to participate in an Instagram Takeover! An Instagram Takeover is basically where I sign in to Instagram as @visitcape and post pictures from their account for a designated period of time. How cool is that? Since moving to Southeast Missouri, The Hubs and I have been totally enamored of the area. We enjoying strolling down the River Walk, window shopping at the various antique stores, and sitting along the mighty Mississippi River with coffee in hand… I’d been tagging my Instagram pictures…

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,…

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 10 {In the Dark Room}
Hi, you guys! How was your weekend? Mine was all kinds of fab. It was a celebration weekend: my birthday is today {41 years old} and my anniversary is tomorrow {19 years}. My family went out of their way to make me feel special this weekend… I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Here are a few pictures from last week: Squeekerz can find a ray of sunlight in the darkest night. The requisite coffee shot. It’s what fuels me, ya know? My new zoom lens. A gift from the hubs. I’m so in love right now. With him. And the lens. My birthday cake. I absolutely positively…
