This week’s set of favorite shots is from Saturday’s very HOT (107 degrees!) but very fun and relaxing wedding reception. The groom is a personal favorite of CandyMan and mine, and the bride just happens to be Reese’s counselor at camp. In short, we love these guys and their family. Despite the heat, we enjoyed…

I’m a Sucker for Ice Cream
The other day, I had an ice cream sandwich for breakfast. I mean, I stopped by the store during my morning errands and picked up a box of Breyers Smooth and Dreamy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough sandwiches. I couldn’t help but try them out while they were still nice and cold. You’d have done the…
Pop on Pals – Discover the Popabilities!
Considering the fact that I have five kids, I’m sure you can imagine how many toys have come in and out of our house in recent years. A lot. My kids have played with and tested scores of toys. They’ve loved and then passed them on, or declared that no matter how old they got…
Wacky Wordless Wednesday
Don’t ask…..
Blue Ridge Gypsy Studios Giveaway
Last June, I reviewed a few new-to-me products from Skin Free Skincare, and I am happy to report that I am still using the corrective face nectar and daytime light moisture. I swear by these products and tell all of my friends and family that they are the single best product I’ve ever used on…
Born to be a Babysitter
I had decided against posting this picture for I Heart Faces’ Purple theme this week because it wasn’t purple enough. Plus, I was away from the computer and without the internet for so long, I figured I was too late. But in a last-minute-internet’s-back-on effort, I decided to enter it anyway. It may not be…
Why Am I Sitting Here?
Last week, it was an earthquake. This week it was a tornado. I’m a little tired of freaks of nature distrupting my routine. Today, I posted these tweets on my twitter account: Argh! My internet is out, my dishwasher is broken, and my friend is here cuz her power is still out. Dark ages or…
Gathering Coupons – Budget Bootcamp #4
It’s time for Challenge #4 in Budget Bootcamp. This is the time to really get serious, friends. Last week, Clair mentioned, “We’re gonna get you yet, girl!” and I fear that we have entered unfamiliar territory this week. This is the part I’ve been waiting for. The Challenge: Simply gather coupons this week. Why? From…
Cooling Off….GMYBSPSF
It’s HOT here. Saturday is supposed to be record-breaking temps in the 100s. If it weren’t for the activity we have with other kids at church in the morning, and the wedding reception of the century in the afternoon, I’d just spend the entire day at the pool, sipping ice cold soda. (Disclaimer–the reception really…
When the Earth Shook
Mama Kat’s last writing prompt stood out to me this week: Earthquake! Where were you when it happened? …probably because last Friday we had an earthquake in suburban Maryland – a pretty rare event. While some people were quite shaken by the earthquake (pun intended) my kids were thrilled to have felt their first earthquake….
