{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Daffodils & Dirt Roads #ww

spring daffodil bloom

I can never be truly wordless but I will keep it short this week! Saturday was a gorgeous day and it looks like the rest of this week calls for more of the same blue skies and warmer temps. It’s so nice to be able to get outside, throw open the windows and take walks [...]

These photos from last Sunday turned out way too dark so I just slapped  a bunch of effects on them in PicMonkey and shared them anyways! My granddaughter was too cute not to share!

I love getting random surprise messages from my daughter’s teacher! I thought that since she started middle school this year, that these little notes would be no more. I’m so glad I was wrong!

You learn something new everyday, I tell ya! Pie is going through her clothes, sorting out what does and doesn’t fit as we get ready for back-to-school shopping. She called me into her room to show me a new way to fold her t-shirts.  Her phone must be good for something since she looked it [...]

Tweet the chicken

Isn’t rescue chick getting big! He/she/it is almost bigger than Mama Tweet already! And, is it just me or does the little red chick on the right remind you of a roadrunner? This photo cracks me up every time. You probably have to know Ginger to know why she’s pouting. She’s thinking, just shoot me [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Totally random Friday photos #ww

a turtle in our driveway

Gorgeous turtle that crawled out of the ditch looking for water. We re-homed him in the creek down the road. Hubby got out the 1974 Goldwing. We took it for a short test drive up the road. Ahhh! Such a silly girl! The kids were messing around with optical illusion photos. I have more to [...]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – And the fun never ends #ww

fun with a box

I see lots of moms mention how much their little ones love boxes. The box usually gets played with more than the toy that came in it. I just thought I’d tell you that THE BOX never gets old. My kids love the box. They’re weird.
