    3 February 2014 / 4 Comments

    Are you on Pinterest? Do you encourage people to pin your recipes? If you answered yes to those questions, you need to make sure that you’re: Protecting your images Identifying your images And by following a couple of easy steps, you can make sure that your pictures are properly identified for use on Pinterest.

Heated seats ~ A warm bum. Need I say more? 7. Return to school ~ I enjoy the arrival of the students back on campus. After a quiet summer, the buzz of student activity is refreshing. 6.

    31 Days 31 Photos 31 Stories {In the Dark Room}

    15 August 2013 / 0 Comments

    I’ve decided to join my friend, Beatrice Clay, for a photography challenge called “31 Days 31 Photos 31 Stories: My Favorite Things“. Each day, she provides a prompt and we interpret it however we wish. The catch is that we must tell a story in six words with each photograph. Fun, right? 8. Recent Purchase Very weird items decorate my home. 9. Sound I love the sound of family. 10. Book Never forget. Made my heart ache. 11. Word Thanking God; every day’s a gift. 12. View Nothing compares to God’s original art. 13. Writing Utensil Best pen ever; order in bulk. 14. Fruit Snack of choice while pregnant… Huh?…

    Weekend Update {In the Neighborhood}

    8 July 2013 / 10 Comments

    The 4th of July weekend has come and gone. Way too quickly. We didn’t have any real plans because I had to work on Friday, so we just kinda played it by ear. 1. Why is it during the week day I could sleep til noon, but come the weekend my internal alarm goes off at 5:30 AM? The only way to make it through was with an extra large cup of coffee. Actually, that’s how I start just about every morning but you knew that already, didn’t ya? 2. The hubs and I went to the park to see the car show. There were so many vintage cars, tricked…

    29 June 2012 / 8 Comments

    1. This week the Supreme Court struck down legislation that makes it a crime to lie about winning military honors {also known as the Stolen Valor Act} on the grounds that it violates the First Amendment {free speech}. Ummm, there is so much wrong with that decision… First of all, how about the fact that it disrespects those who died, were injured or maimed for really winning military honors? Second of all, shouldn’t there be some things that are so sacred that they should be protected? And, yes, I realize that this is a slippery slope but I think our soldiers and vets deserve the utmost respect and honor. Boo…
