First Two Weeks of February #fmsphotoaday

I may have failed miserably with keeping up with the photo a day Instagram meme in January, but I’ve been good about remembering in February! I’ve only missed two days so far and I am really enjoying sharing my daily photos. So much so that I think I’ll do a biweekly recap of what I’ve […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Christmas Chorus Concert #ww

We attended our daughter’s Christmas Chorus concert last night. It was such a lovely hour and a half of music with all of the students in middle through high school singing holiday favorites. We ended up having to sit way way up at the top of the auditorium, so I wasn’t able to get good […]

Wordless Wednesday – This Daughter of Mine #ww

Every once in a while I look at my daughter, and I see her for who she is becoming — a beautiful young lady. So often I just completely forget about the fact that she is growing up. I still see her as small — a tiny little girl who giggles and teases and needs […]

Wordless Wednesday – Drama Club Quote #ww

The sweatshirt we ordered from drama club finally came in. Pie came home wearing it Monday and I had to laugh when I noticed the drama club quote on the back of the hoodie — it says “We are not strange, We are dramatically different.” Love it! The kids have been working so hard on […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Instagram recap #ww

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram then you have probably seen most of these photos already — they’re too cute to not share again though! Our granddaughter is on the move and she had a grand time with daddy chasing her around the house last Sunday! She was giggling and laughing and oh […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Week In Review #ww

Last Wednesday our daughter turned 13. THIRTEEN! I dug out this photo of her and Ginger when they were both just tots so I could compare it to Wednesday. Oh my how they have grown! My two girls, I just tear up looking at this!  Pie has grown into such a beautiful young lady and […]

Wordless Wednesday – Grandbaby, Gimli & Mini Me #ww

This week’s Wordless Wednesday is just three random cellphone photos from the past week or so. My granddaughter was peeking over the couch at me and she looked so cute while trying to escape! Our barred rock rooster Gimli has grown into a gorgeous black and white beast. While he still has a bit of […]

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

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 […]

Wordless Wednesday – Basketball and a GrandBaby #ww

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! Our daughter’s last basketball game of the season was on Saturday. It was bittersweet because it is her last year in […]

Wordless Wednesday – Talent Show Winners #ww

My daughter and her two friends competed in the annual school talent show last weekend. It was awesome! I have to say, these girls had only 3 practice sessions before performing and they were so much fun to watch! They took FIRST PLACE in the middle school age group!  I wish I could share the […]

She’s a good student #proudmom

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! This wonderful note came today from her Math teacher. It was so much fun giving it to her when she got […]
