Through the Lens Thursday: Box

It’s been a crazy busy week (in a good way!) and I almost forgot what day it was (for the second week in a row. Ahem.) On Sunday, we celebrated my grandpa’s 90th birthday and my grandparents’ 63rd wedding anniversary in the community room after their church service. My […]

Through the Lens Thursday: In My Cup

So, maybe this should be called “On my plate” because I have a lot. Instead, this is a series of pictures, to illustrate that, using cups? Or something. In My Cup I finally unpacked from my New York trip. We got these fabulous reusable cups from Cabaret, and the […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Frown

I know it’s not Thursday anymore. I got home yesterday from New York City (which was AMAZING) after a very long, very screwed up flight situation (long story). I have so many pictures to share later, but I wanted to go ahead and share one for this week now so […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Red

As you read this, I’ll be close to leaving for or landing in NYC with my mom and meeting up with my uncle for a special spring break trip. Yay!! I’ve never been, but we intend to fill our time with Broadway shows, lots of food and walking, and whatever […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Cute

I told myself that I would not, under any circumstances, post a bunch of pictures of my dog again. I did that already (a few times). It doesn’t matter how cute she is, I would. not. do. it. So I had to figure something else out. My youngest is going […]

The Unraveling of Mercy Louis (A Book Review)

You guys know I’ve been reading a ton lately, gobbling up all of the recommended books my library could give me, and I was intrigued by the chance to read and review a book being released this March.

The Unraveling of Mercy Louis is about Mercy, a small town basketball star, […]

It’s Mango Time Featuring Cinco De Mango Quesadillas

I love mango. LOVE. IT. It’s the only fruit that five out of the six members of my family will eat. One of my favorite snacks is a bowl of frozen blueberries and mango chunks with just a little dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt on top. It’s delicious, […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Words

I don’t make my bed. And I pile books on my puppy’s bed crate. But the words? The words have been next to me constantly the past few months, always being traded and returned and checked out and discussed and downloaded and wish-listed. Through The Lens Thursday is […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Twisted

I realize you’re all sick of seeing my dog. I know that. But I have had a long week and my creativity for the prompt was nonexistent, so you get action shots of a tug of war game with Louise’s twisted rope toy (she’s all better from the surgery and […]

Puppy Anxiety

How do I know that I’m getting older but still need some baby love sometimes? Louise went to the vet to get “fixed” last week, and I missed her like crazy, and also worried about her like a mom taking her child in for a procedure would. Okay, not quite […]
