Then and Now: 5 Years- Some Pancakes and a Stink and Triggers

Then and Now: 5 Years- Some Pancakes and a Stink and Triggers

So, a few months back we went to the Caldwell Zoo with Lisa and Jack.  (We won’t talk about all the problems with the truck that followed that trip!).  While there I “manufactured” a shot to compare Jack then and now.  I knew I wanted a similar shot of him, so I helped myself with a little gentle push of Jack. I thought I’d share those two pics today now that I’m starting to catch up on a back log of pics that I...

Kitchen Discontent: Some New Recipes

For whatever reason, I haven’t been content to make the same old things in the kitchen at night for dinner.  I’ve been trying a number of new recipes and have enjoyed most of them.  Here’s a few examples: I picked up a cookbook with Campbell’s Soup recipes which included these: Each Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas (We both thought it needed a little less of the creamy sauce) Creamy Ranch Pork Chops and Rice (We fell in...

Christmas in Pictures, Not! Christmas Without Pictures

Since I haven’t blogged in a while, you’ll have to bear with me for a short tangent.  Last Christmas, or maybe the year before, my nephew got a Wii.  We’ve been down there a few times and loved playing it.  He and his mom came up earlier this week and they brought the Wii. . . Well one thing led to another and we wound up buying a Wii ourselves. which arrived just about the time they left Wednesday taking their Wii with...

November is Here! Routines and Schedules Please

November is Here! Routines and Schedules Please

October is Gone!  Praise the Lord!  November is Here!  I love that each year, each month, each week, each day, each hour, we’re given a fresh starting point. October wasn’t the best month around here.  It had it’s share of the blues, wacky times, and busy times.  There was no routine and no schedule.  Everything seemed to suffer- we we’re exhausted, we ate miserably, the house became a mess. . . and this blog...

Sweets for Breakfast

Sweets for Breakfast

It’s no secret that I love dessert.  (Like this or this).  I come by it naturally.  Three women in my family are really to blame for this.  After all, when you eat dessert, you must never blame yourself. My mom almost always had something planned for dessert when I was growing up. . . and you couldn’t have dessert until after you ate the rest of your meal.  This meant that dessert was extra special.  I often wonder if...

About Me

Welcome! Hi all! I live in rural East Texas with my husband. I'm passionate about telling our everyday and rather ordinary story through words and pictures here on my blog and on my digitally scrapbooked pages. Geek. Creative. Problem Solver. Traditional. Introverted. Those are all words that you might use to describe me. I love to have fun while stilling keeping it calm and simple.

My thoughts

I find that I experience things through the lens of the camera- so I snap away. I have lots of shots from places that don't tell much of a story- other than we were there and we saw it, it was beautiful. To me, those pictures are meant for photo albums. I can spend time telling other stories that are more important. Why waste my time saying, we saw it and it was beautiful or different? I will often include a a few pages in my albums about a trip- a few that tell of particularly meaningful moments and then an overview page. The rest of the pictures are perfect for photo albums.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
