So I’ve been planning on making my own camera strap cover for ages after seeing this easy DIY on Pinterest. I probably still will, but I managed to come up with a different strap cover idea all on my own! I love vintage ties & I have quite a few of them. So I decided … More Make It Monday – Necktie Camera Strap Cover
There is nothing like walking into a thrift store & seeing a sign that says “50% Off Everything in the Store”. Nothing like it. Then, when you actually find some treasures, well, it’s what thrifting is all about. The three treasures that I am sharing today come from just such an experience I had yesterday. … More Secondhand Sunday – Jackpot!
Just a couple of outfits this week… We had our first REAL snow in the night last night. My favourite moment of the day was putting the boys in front of a window, opening the curtains & seeing their eyes light up in wonder & joy as they looked out at the beautiful, white snow. … More Fashion on Friday – First Real Snow of the Season!

For the month of November, everyday, each of us will think of something we are thankful for & write it on a leaf that we will attach to our tree.

Along with being 11-11-11 tomorrow, it’s also Veteran’s Day. I want to say thank you to all those who serve & have served. For those who waited & prayed. I want to say thank you to this man who served when he was called, came home to his wife and daughter and then had another … More Thankful Thursday – Veterans Day Edition
I’ve had these thoughts tumbling around in my head for a long time. I know I’m not the first one to think about this or to address it. I purposely didn’t have a look around the interwebs because I wanted to get my own thoughts on “paper” before I started investigating the thoughts of others. … More Words on Wednesday – On Being an Introvert Mom
It’s been a quiet week here in Bend, at least for my family. The boys have been a bit sick, so outings have been minimal. Which means lots of time to be cozy at home & try new recipes! I made roast butternut squash to go with a crock pot roast that I did. The squash … More Tasty Tuesday – So Many Tasty Things!
