it’s okay…that i eat weird stuff.

i seem to be out of blogging material lately.  no, actually, i've lost my mojo.  thank goodness for blog link ups with faithful blog friends to get my creative juices flowing.  they also help me keep y'all semi-updated random-style.  you know how much i love being random. so, for today's reading pleasure, i'm linking up with TWO blog friends.  no, make that FOUR because each link up is hosted by two bloggers. first up, i'm joining amber & neely for... it's okay... to be excited yet stressed about getting a free bathing suit from old navy.  my twinsie & i had the perfect suits picked out on tuesday night only to find out that our free coupon wasn't valid until...today.  whomp, whomp.  oh, you want a free bathing suit, too?  join crowdtap.  free suits are not … [Read more...]

music makes me…shop?

i don't know about you but certain songs evoke memories & emotions within my soul. some songs get me charged up. some songs help me remember a special occasion. some songs take me back in time. some songs actually bring a tear to my eye. and,some songs make me want to shop.  yeah, shop. case in point?lights by ellie goulding.  i hear this song on the radio from time to time, but i swear i hear it while shopping ALL of the time. it's blasted over the airwaves at loft and bed bath & beyond. i'm pretty certain i've heard it at gap and i SWEAR sears was playing it as i tried squeezing into a lands end bathing suit earlier this week. but, the icing on the cake?  i heard it while grocery shopping. seriously, y'all, what is it about this song & me … [Read more...]

all of the wants i could ever need.

MomsDay1

mother's day came and went without incident. a day to celebrate me - you know, the mom - was not unlike any other day. i didn't have breakfast in bed nor did i sleep in. i was not off duty: i still did the laundry, worked in the yard & refereed a couple of petty arguments. but, i did get a bit of a break. we harnessed the dogs, i grabbed my camera & we drove fifteen minutes from our home to a place we love... the beach. we walked. the dogs chased birds. we got our ankles wet in the chilly water. and i snapped candid pictures of my family. i'm always behind the lens.  rarely am i ever in front of it. {which is kind of disappointing because i'm a total ham for the camera.} but, being behind the lens gives me time to think. i struggle with wants and needs. i want … [Read more...]
