I’m a true modern-day shopper. I don’t go anywhere without consulting my cell phone – before heading out to the store, during my shopping trips, and (my favorite) completely from home without having to leave my house. Yes, I fear that I would do all of my shopping online if I could. My shopping habits…

She’s Behind the Wheel! Photostory Friday – GMYBS
How did this happen? I’ve got a teenage driver. I’ve spent all of my extra time this week running back and forth to and from the DMV getting my oldest daughter’s permit. And now that she’s got that little card in her hands…. …the driving lessons begin. I feel a little bit like a first-time…

Surrounded by Beauty – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
Only photographers go on outings for the sole purpose of taking pictures. And only bloggers go on outings for the sole purpose of taking pictures for blog posts. I’m doomed. After spending the week either sitting at my computer or running errands at the store, I needed to find some inspiration. I found it this…
Pet-Sitting Marshmallow the Goldfish – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
Our neighbors left for a beach vacation yesterday and asked us to fish-sit their pet goldfish, Marshmallow, who is from the 2011 County Fair. Yes, a one-year-old goldfish.
