I went through all 11,000 pics I took last year! I narrowed it down to about 90 something and then had to choose from there. It was fun and a bit challenging. As an “artist” I think we get attached to certain pictures for one reason or another. I tried not to just post the top 10 that I’m attached to. 10. Ok, this picture just evokes complete happiness and laughter. We were watching a herding demonstration and as you see, the one sheep wasn’t happy with the pushing and shoving so it just leaped up. I love that I…

I was reminded by Lisanne (blog removed) of a post I did back in 2006 at New Years and decided to do the post again for 2009. Post the first sentence of the first post of each month. I did mine with the first post that wasn’t a recipe or I heart faces post. January It seems that nearly every blog I read today shows people having fun in the snow. February Be sure to check out I ♥ Faces to see all the other beautiful faces that have been entered into the contest! March We woke up to beautiful…

Yesterday I was able to sit back (for the most part) and enjoy the day. Being observant of my surroundings, I became mindful of how thankful I am for a few things, like: great in-laws that I get along with a brother-in-law that is quite helpful and enjoys being with his nephews making it a family tradition to have homemade pasta every Christmas Rob’s Italian heritage, which enables us to have that homemade pasta a nice home to be able to host holidays 2 healthy boys that have such a sweet heart and I really appreciate when they “show” it…

Today I spent nearly the entire day making everything for tomorrow: Oreo balls Banana Nut Bread Muffins Spinach Artichoke Dip Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Cookies Sausage Balls Sausage-Cheese English muffins (make-ahead snack or breakfast) After all that cooking, I was exhausted! I relaxed while watching White Christmas, which is not one of my favorite Christmas movies! I need to go adjust my top 10 Christmas movies again. I was dreading cooking dinner after being in the kitchen practically all day, so I was very happy when Rob reminded me that a friend of ours was bringing over some homemade lasagna.…

This weekend has been fashioned from traditions that we’ve started, enjoying each others company, searching for a tree, cutting it down at Lakeside Tree Farm. Then, heading to Columbus to eat at Chef Lee’s. Coming home to watch the SEC & ACC Championship games. The next day we finished decorating the tree and putting up the other decorations, enjoyed a warm fire, and watched our favorite Christmas movie of all time, Christmas Vacation! Looking forward to having a wonderful Christmas embraced by love and tradition.

I wrote a few years ago about my traditions I had growing up, but not sure I’ve talked about the traditions we’ve started with our family. 1.) Choosing & cutting down a real Christmas tree ourselves Growing up, I never had a real tree. So now that I’ve been in Auburn for 14 Christmases every year we’ve had a real tree. We love the Virginia Pines, but there was a year that those were hard to find around here, so we settled for a Cyprus. We now have a place that we go to every year with a hayride through…

Saw this from Fun Mama. I like doing these and haven’t done one exactly like this before. Outside my window… beautiful 67 degree weather. I am thinking… why my 11 year old is crawling around on the floor when he’s supposed to be in bed. I am thankful for… my family and the roof over my head. I am wearing… my comfy gown since it is almost bedtime. I am remembering… how much I enjoyed having date night with Rob and wish we could do that again. I am going… to be going to bed soon after watching more shows…

The day after Thanksgiving was a day of tailgating, celebrating, and football. For the Iron Bowl, I decided to have to have a Pizza party with mini-pizzas. I kept it simple with minimal ingredients, but for a true pizza party here’s what you will need: Ingredients: Mini-Bagels (cut in half) Soft Dinner Rolls (cut in half) Pizza sauce Shredded Mozzarella cheese Shredded Cheddar cheese Mini-pepperonis or Pepperonis sliced in 4ths Ground Cooked Italian Sausage Diced ham Sliced black olives Slice mushrooms Pepperoncinis Banana peppers Parmesan cheese Red pepper flake This list could go on and on. Just put whatever pizza…

Earlier this year while going through all the stuff I got from my Grandmother’s house, I came across a book with a lot of my stuff from school. Seeing these Thanksgiving projects brought back many memorable memories and I just had to share them. My turkey from 2nd grade (I think) My Thanksgiving letter from 1st grade Now this! This I love! This was from 2nd Grade where our assignment was to tell How to Prepare a Thanksgiving meal…

Back in October we went with Pack 29 Cub Scouts to Family Camp. For those of you who don’t realize, Drew crossed over to Boy Scouts in April and Alex isn’t old enough to be in Cub Scouts. That means that Rob is a the Cubmaster while not having a son in the organization. That’s true dedication in my eyes! Totally! You should see the time he puts in to it. Anyway, so here’s some pics from our fun weekend. Our campgrounds Rob handing out bracelets to the cub scouts One of the activities One of Drew’s friends who came…

I’ve been so busy lately. I started a temporary job at the Auburn University Library. I’m there four days a week M-Th from 6 pm to 12 am. I also substitute as much as possible and still work at the day care teaching music M & W. All this means that if I sub on M & W I work from 7 am to 12 am!! WOW! If it sounds like I’m complaining, I’m not! I’m actually shocked at myself that I’m able to survive this, and very glad to have this opportunity to get some extra money, with school…

Today is Show Us Your Life, Pets edition. Here is Rosie, who is are Pebroke Welsh Corgi. We’ve had her for about 9 years. We were living in our first home, had only been there a few months. We had been without a dog for not quite a year after having our other Pembroke Corgi, Jenny, pass away. Rosie is a lover of popcorn, candy (only because she’s good at somehow getting a hold of candy, which she’s not supposed to have!), sleeping, long naps in the sun while lying on the deck, and relaxing in one of the 2…

We always have a great time out at Mr. Tony’s place, cutting wood, playing with the dogs, walking around, watching the horses, chasing the chickens…What more could you ask for? See all the pics from our day here.
