I woke up yesterday morning to another twenty-four hours of snow and bleakness. On the verge of the next deep freeze, I decided I could either wallow in a jar of Nutella or find something to redeem the day. I decided on pictures. That makes perfect sense doesn’t it? I’m not a photographer and I [...]
Insta-Friday is all about the pictures. They are a pretty good summary of my week. I took this picture on Thanksgiving morning. I loved the way the light was spilling brightness all over. My mother made fun of my little pumpkins. So I took another picture. I still have the pumpkins. I know we’re a [...]
Friends, I’m short five posts for my 31 Day Cheap Tricks series. I’ll catch up, but I’m not stressing over it. I’m giving myself permission to breathe and to get it done when I can. Hope you understand. Now, lets take a look some Instagram pictures. If you’re not following along, please do! This is [...]
It seems we found Paul Bunyan. He’s living at the water park we visited. I love that my daughter will still pose for fun pictures. My son just walks away and when I do get a photo, he’s terribly picky. He wants retakes. This is what happens at thirteen. Heaven help me when my daughter [...]
I think I may have overdone the “insta” pictures this week, but I just couldn’t help myself. It’s so easy to snap away with a phone. These were the best blueberry muffins. Even FringeMan, who is most certainly not a muffin man, liked them very much. You can find the recipe here. Except I [...]
Since I upgraded from a flip-phone to an iPhone, I’ve had fun with the photo feature. I think my phone takes better pictures than my camera. I feel like I’ve been silent here for a long time. It’s a strange feeling. Although I’ve been posting quite regularly, I don’t think I’ve been saying much. I [...]
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, let’s see. The towns that surround us were hit much harder than we were. Please keep the people of Central New York in your prayers. We have more rain in the forecast.
October was weird for me. I blog day-to-day, about life and the stuff that is stuck in my head. October was different. I told stories everyday and wrote about one topic – Living by Faith. Since I tend to be a fly by the seat of my pants kind of blogger, I thought I would [...]
I feel I must redeem myself after my last fashion post – The Skinny on The Jean. It is my most-shared post to date. Part of me thinks – Fabulous! The sane part of me thinks - Everyone and their neighbor was laughing at me and my not-so-skinny bottom half. Maybe you were just identifying [...]
Bringing back American Gothic one un-smiley photo at a time.
Shaving Cream Wars – A Party Your Kids Will Never Forget Warning: Heavy on photos. Allow a moment to load. As the last day of summer vacation approached, I told FringeMan I wanted to do something special for the kids – summer’s last hoorah. We decided on shaving cream wars. So I baked [...]
About seven or eight weeks ago, before we left on our long trip, one of my husband’s customers went to an Amish auction and stopped by our house to share his haul with us. We tend to develop friendships with many of my husband’s customers. No reason you cannot be friends with the people at [...]
Hello Monday! I’m liking you today, mainly because I got to sleep in my own bed last night. After three and half weeks on the road, there’s nothing like home. Hello sand between my toes. We very unexpectedly spent twenty-four hours in Florida last week. Most of those hours were at night. Our trip was [...]
In the beginning of July, I set out to take a picture a day. Unfortunately I kept forgetting to grab my camera and snap a photo, so I only made it a few days. I’ll try and do better in August, but for now, here is a quick picture of July. July 1 My husband [...]
Today I’d like to welcome Alissa from The Illiterate Author. We go way back to the long-ago days in Maine when I had teeny little babies. Alissa is an inspiring young woman who has bouquets of good things to offer blogland. I’m so happy she’s here to share this DIY project with us. Welcome Alissa! [...]
Today is a two-part post kind of day. First part is What I Wore Wednesday and the second part is our trip to the zoo. Since I’m only showing one outfit, I thought I’d combine the two; however, I did get dressed more than once this week. I promise! Dress: Target (too long ago to [...]
