Day 11...something I made

A chalkboard! I love changing the messages on them for seasons, holidays or just because. Super easy to make...and cheap too! :)

Day 10...orange and pink together

Not one of my usual color combos so this one was fun!

Day 9...a summer necessity

Ice cream!!! This is my daughter's peanut butter and jelly sundae. Yum, right? She assures me this tasted as good as it looked. As for me, I opted for a single scoop so I can feel like I'm doing my part (without denying myself everything of course) to help my bathing suit fit better . ;)

Day 8...sky

Just a plain ole summer sky here today...no clouds...not too interesting, but I'm very grateful for the gorgeous summer days!

Day 7...bold, bright colors

My sweet girl had her eye on a granny afghan at Anthropologie...needless to say a bit out of the price range of a 17 y/o. So mom to the rescue with her trusty crochet hook. I probably should have thought this out a little better and started it in the Fall when it isn't so hot. Oh well, anything for the babies, right?...even when they aren't babies anymore. :)

Day 6...something sweet

Yummy whole grain blueberry pancakes. So Summer-y, so sweet. Does it make me a bad mom if this is what I made for dinner? :)

test post

I'm joining in on Natalea's July 2011 in Photos group (a little late) hoping that with a little practice I'll get the hang of blogging one picture at a time. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

It's a little late, but it took me forever to figure out how to post! A few weeks back, Vivian of Viv's Whimsy issued a St. Patty's Day banner challenge for anyone who wanted to join in. I don't have any decorations for March 17th so I got to work.


We didn't do much in the way of celebrating, but we had corned beef, cabbage and Irish soda bread for dinner. Yum!

This is the recipe I use just in case you don't have one.
Thanks for visiting!
