Scavenger Hunt Sunday {Photography}
New month, new beginnings, right? Right. I’m heading into my 3rd week as a Cinchspiration blogger and things are going… LOL I’ll give a full update tomorrow, but suffice it to say, I sure could use some encouragement and cheering up and on. If you’re on Instagram, Pinterest or Twitter, please follow me and the rest of the ladies as we try to shed some weight, get healthy and make ourselves stronger. 1. Sunset From the archives. I don’t know if it’s just me or what but Missouri has some of the most beautiful sunsets. 2. Sweet From the archives. There’s nothing sweeter or tangier than Granny Smith Apples. 3.…

Scavenger Hunt Sunday {Photography}
It feels so good to be participating in Scavenger Hunt Sunday again. I haven’t joined in since April. But this week I had some beautiful shots, thanks to a photo walk with my daughter and an impromptu day out with the hubs. Hope you enjoy looking at my finds for this week. 1. Rainbow I took this picture during my photo walk with Miss 18. The way the sun was bouncing off the steeple of the church had me mesmerized. Later, I saw the lens flare and the slightest hint of a rainbow. I hope it counts. 2. Fluffy Dandelions are fluffy, right? I took this picture of my daughter…

Tag! I’m It
Remember when you were a kid and you used to play “Tag”? So. Much. Fun. Well, now I’m playing the grown~up bloggy version of “Tag”. Someone tags you and then you have to answer a series of questions and then tag other folks. Unlike in elementary school, I’ve been tagged by two people: Lisa from It Keeps Getting Better {if you haven’t visited her blog, you really ought to, she has the most adorable children ever} and Stacy from A Life Well Lived {if you need inspiration, I recommend adding her to your reader}. Because I was tagged by two people, I’m combining the rules and the questions. I’m a rule…

This or That Thursday {Getting to Know Missouri}
Two days ago, while out driving with Miss 18, I got a little lost and ended up in a town called Burfordville. Burfordville is a sleepy little historic town which boasts one of Missouri’s few remaining covered bridges as well as a mill that was built in 1800, damaged during the Civil War and later rebuilt. If you’d like to read more about the Bollinger Mill Historic Site, you can click here (there are also some pretty sweet pictures of the mill and the bridge). While wandering around, my daughter and I noticed a little antique shop and decided to look around. The owner was gracious enough to allow me to…

This or That Thursday
My sisters and I spent most of our formative years in Italy (thanks to my stepdad and the United States Air Force) and while we were over there, my parents acquired many beautiful treasures ~ statutes, glass pieces, vases, etc. But the one thing they had that I always wanted was the marble and wood chess set, where my dad and I used to sit and play chess (for minutes on end ~ I’m really bad at the game). When I moved out on my own, my very first piece of furniture was the chess set and it has been displayed in every home I’ve lived in for over 18…

What I Wore Wednesday #29
JOIN ME FOR SHOE STYLE SATURDAY THIS SATURDAY FOR MORE INFORMATION, CLICK HERE Last week I talked about how I’d entered a fashion slump so I was using the Outfit Inspiration Calendar posted by Fab Finds Under $50 to dress each morning, and let me tell ya, it’s worked! I’ve worn items in my closet that I haven’t worn in months (years?) and put together textures and patterns that I would have shied away from a long time ago. Seriously, if you need to step out of your fashion comfort zone, I totally recommend using the calendar. Thursday: Add Some Pink I’m so not a pink girl so this was a bit…

What I Wore Wednesday #28
Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve participated in What I Wore Wednesday. Don’t worry, I haven’t been walking around nekkid or anything, but I have been in a bit of a fashion funk. Yeah, I was still putting together my outfits but it was just taking so much effort. And everything was starting to look the same, then I stumbled across Fab Finds Under $50 and my inspiration was renewed. Each month, Kimberly provides a calendar with daily fashion challenges to try. Fun, no? Now I can’t guarantee that I’ll participate every day but I know that I will try to hit every day that I possibly can. What…

I’m so glad that the hubs and the kids have been so supportive of my growing interest in photography and blogging. I’m happy that they’ve allowed me to…

You can read my blog in your favorite reader through my RSS feed, join the conversation on Facebook or chat with me on Twitter. Make sure you give a shout out and let me know you’re there! Rush rush rush, it always seems like I’m in a hurry to catch up on stuff. That’s my life, 24/7. Whoa, wait! Did I just say 24/7? Yes, I did. And that’s a problem. The Lord tells us in Exodus 20:10 that the seventh day is the Lord’s day and on that day we nor anyone in our households…
