I’m raising a little boy who’s biggest passion is to just play ball.   What is it that your kids enjoy most?

For the past few weeks I’ve been piecing together a little series for you guys to share here…I  haven’t mentioned it to anyone just in case it didn’t work out like I hoped it would. But now, it has. And now I can share it with all of you! I am a person whose creativity […]

I received my new 75-300 mm zoom in the mail the other day [Saturday to be exact]. Naturally, I felt the need to get out in the 35 mile per hour winds and the below freezing temperatures to drive out to one of my favorite lookout places here on Kodiak Island to test out the […]

{Welcome back to another edition of No Mom Talk Monday! If you aren’t sure of the rules, they are really simple: You can write about whatever you want…except your kids. The link up is at the bottom! Enjoy!} If you remember a few weeks ago, I wrote a post about how I was about to […]

Alright guys! Here you go. My very first Vlog. 🙂 Please pardon the “umms” and too many “ands.” It’s been way too long since my last public speech so I’m rusty and out of practice [and YES I used to be extremely good at interviews and public speaking.] My accent is thick, so I’m anticipating […]

I know several of you have been itching for some more photos of “home” here in Alaska. So today, that’s what you’re going to get. Different shots of different things, from different areas of our home. Enjoy! {The ice accumulation on the outside of the windows} {Outside of our Bedroom Window}       {Outside […]

There are just some things that I adore more than others.

Finding my favorite tea bags […]
