Photo Credit: She Knows I saw these adorable sugar cookie pinata cookies and I knew I had to share them with you. I think the cutest part is that M&M’s spill out of the middle. (EEP EEP EEP...
Typically, when I eat by myself I don’t really cook anything fancy. In all honesty I usually just grab a granola bar and some Naked juice and that’s that. Today was different. I don’...
“Be still and know that I am God”-Psalms 46:10 Funny how many times I find myself coming back to this very verse. I can distinctly remember several occasions when I clung to this verse li...
When my husband first gifted me with my camera I would have done anything for a class like this. I remember searching high and low for free or fairly priced classes to get a better understanding of h...
So I was having an ugly day. Have you ever had a day like that? What is an ugly day some may be pondering? An ugly day is when your hair decides to be creative and stick up in every direction so you...
I am trying to teach myself Photoshop Elements. My husband has reported that I mumbled something about layers and filters in my sleep. I have read several magazines on Photoshop Elements. I have skim...

As I opened my mailbox this afternoon I was pleasantly surprised to see a package from Toms. I was a little curious so as any rational person would do I didn’t wait till I got home but rather o...
I ran across this video today and I had to share. To think that it started with a simple walk past the dry cleaners. What things will inspire you today? Filed under: Adventures

I have been one busy dusty chick! I have been chasing my dog around the house with castile soap all the while trying to find time to blog and learn about my new past time photoshop. I regret to say t...
Yes, I am a total nerd. I am totally okay with this. I have been waiting for a year for this movie to come out so to say that I am excited is an understatement. I read all the books and to my utter d...

This is Darcy. She is the reason that must of my time has been spent outside rather than inside cleaning and doing chores. We went to the pound just to “look around” (that’s what Mr...
