Was playing around with depth of field and this is the best of the bunch. Still getting snow, lots of snow. Our crusty old van is back at home, but what it boils down to is we just can’t drive it in snow. Only a slight inconvenience in the mid-west during winter. Anyone else [...]

Today we had our last Christmas party of the “season.” I know, it’s January, but we like it this way. It’s my mom’s extended family so there are quite a few of us. Being able to hold off some of the busyness of Christmas until a later date is just nice. We all get to [...]

So here it is January first and I am late posting my first 365 post. No apologies. In my little blog world, the 2nd doesn’t start until I wake up the morning of. Cheating, perhaps, but it’s how I roll. I haven’t a topic, no pull one direction or another. I want to take great pictures with [...]
old and new

After months of scrimping on groceries and working a couple parties in December combined with Christmas cash….I bought myself a new camera. It’s a Nikon D3000 and I am loving it! While there were higher-end models I would have loved to get, this one stretched me to my dollar limit (and past it just a bit, thanks [...]

First off, I just got back from an amazing 6 day vacation with just my husband. No kids!!!! We went to Disney World and had so much fun going at a bit slower pace. We managed to time our visit during the PGA tour. I’ve never golfed, but walking part of a PGA event makes [...]
Easter in photos

I’ve been working on this post for a couple days and the photos are as far as I’ve gotten. I would write along with it, but it is so lovely outside that I just don’t have time to write. Pots need planted, wash needs hung, gardens need cleared out, and I need to get a couple more [...]

I hope everyone gets to enjoy some time with family today, eat a bit of chocolate or a big home-cooked meal. Most of all, I wish that you all find the peace, joy, and grace that God offered through the sacrifice and resurrection of His perfect son. Christ is risen, and is as much for [...]
Easter Dinner-advice for eating in or out

Most people, I think, fall into three categories when it comes to Easter Dinner. I have a bit of advice that I’ll keep short and sweet. (edited to add that I go on a bit below…just to warn you that short and sweet didn’t happen.) The three categories: I cook a big meal for my loved [...]

Fat Tuesday Graphics Perfect little vintage valentine for a snowy Saturday. Do they still make things as cute as this? Seriously, Barbie, the princesses, and Bratz have nothing on vintage cuties like the above!
I resolve

I started writting a post about how I was doing on my New Year’s Resolutions, went to link up to it…it’s not there. Figures. Come to find, I have three complete posts that for some reason I hit save instead of publish. No wonder my blog is looking so sparse! I guess the best place [...]
