I had so much fun shooting photos last year, that I decided to continue trying to take photos every day in 2016. I’m only “trying” to take a daily photo, because if I commit to doing it, I know I will get mad and grumpy at myself the first time I skip a day. And…
How has your new year been going so far? Are you excited about the opportunity to do something new or better this year? Or do you feel overwhelmed by the pressure to have a resolution, set a goal, improve yourself in some way? I have to admit, I’ve fallen into the second category this year….
As we were wrapping up another year this past week, I spent some time thinking about what was different for me in 2015. What was the one event or activity or mindset that marked the year? Like the past few years, photography was a big focus for me. But I actually had a big shift…
As much as I love coloring, doodling, photography and creating images on my computer, I’m really lacking in creative skills when it comes to decorating my house. So I always get excited when I complete a DIY decorating project that actually turns out well. This week, I’ve been working on a few DIY projects that…
Our baby turned 6 yesterday. Six! There’s just something about that number that makes me feel like she’s crossing the line into the world of being a big kid. It also caused me to spend some time reminiscing about all of those blog posts I wrote when we were expecting her. There was this one…

We all had to answer the question: “If you could eat one food everyday without worrying about calories or health issues or feeling guilty what would it be?” We went around the table and people gave…
Today is my first day of eating a bit healthier so I spent some time today doing a little prep work. My biggest downfall when it comes to eating right seems to be lunch. And by “lunch,” I actually mean that wonderful window of time between about 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when I seem…
This is my 17th day in row posting to my blog, so I’m getting close to my goal of posting for 21 days straight. Even with all of my posting, it’s amazing how many things happen in a week that I don’t have time to mention. So here are a few snapshots from our week:…
Our youngest daughter has been begging me to work on her room, so a few weeks ago, I finally started painting. At our old house, she shared a room with her older sister who got to choose the “theme” of their room. This time, I wanted to leave it all up to her to decide…
