When I was a young child my dad had convinced me and my young sisters that he was Ralphie from A Christmas Story. As in Peter Billingsly himself and even though the movie had been released when I was 3 years old and my dad was obviously too old to be in the movie, we […]

If you were to ask me the question: If you could move anywhere in the United States, where would you go? I could answer you without a doubt… TENNESSEE! I went for the first time some years ago and from that moment on, I fell in love with the state. The mountains. The fresh air. […]

Hi friends! Well that wasn’t supposed to happen – I was supposed to jump right back into blogging after coming back from vacation and instead I took a blogging break for the summer. I kept telling myself that I would start back up next week and before I knew it, the end of August had […]

I am still on vacation, so this post is actually being typed out the weekend before. I didn’t want you all to think I was posting while I should be enjoying myself. On Father’s Day this year we attended our first major outing since before Covid hit and I must say… I have missed events […]

Michael and I have spent the last 21 years together and I always find it funny how young we looked “back then” vs. how we look today. I thought it would be neat to show us Throughout the Years. The above picture was taken in 2017 during a 4 day camping trip that we took […]

Since we are leaving for our trip mid-week and it also happens to be our anniversary week too, I thought I would turn the next 5 posts into a series I’m calling “Love Story Week”. Every day there will a new post leading you through our 21 years together from our first date to our […]

It’s no secret that I love my camera and I love taking pictures of nature. Flowers, animals, and butterflies are at the top of my list. It’s no wonder that I’m putting in a butterfly garden… hopefully more to photograph! Hehe So for today’s Friday Five, I’m going to showcase my favorite butterfly pictures. Quick […]
