Welcome to yet another edition of the monthly Photography Styling Challenge. I cannot believe we are halfway through the challenge already. It seems like yesterday that I chanced upon this challenge on M’s blog and decided to play along. I cannot tell you how much fun it has been and how much I have learned…
‘Count Your Blessings’ Thanksgiving Tree
Count your blessings, name them one by one, Count your blessings, see what God hath done! Count your blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. That is my mom’s favorite hymn and one of mine too. It is so apt for this season of Thanksgiving. It…
Preschooler Thanksgiving Turkey Craft
Having a preschooler at home means that I am acutely aware of all the seasons and upcoming celebrations. In October, Boy comes home with cute ghost and pumpkin crafts, November is for turkeys and fall leaves, December is for Santa, reindeer and snowflakes, February is for hearts and I Love You cards, and so on.You…
A Few Of My Favorite Things #2
I have shown you a few of my favorite things earlier. Here are some more. A rustic, not-quite perfect twiggy wreath. The colors and texture of my favorite bed sheets – pure cotton, traditional hand-loom ones that mom sends from back home. Elly, our elephant friend. Do I hear you go “Aww…”?!! My little journal…
The Perks Of Blogging
When I decided to start this blog, I was just looking for a creative outlet. I enjoyed cooking, baking, crafting, planning (to a fault, sometimes) and organizing. I loved all those food and DIY blogs out there. And I thought to myself, “Why not?”. Thus this blog was born. If you read the first line…
Photography Styling Challenge #4 – Morning
Ah, the first Monday of October. Time for yet another Photography Styling Challenge post. Usually I crib about the days flying by, and a little Boy growing up too fast for my liking. But when the last week of a month rolls by, I find myself looking forward to our monthly challenge posts! This month’s…
All In A Day’s Work
Just thought of sharing some random stuff with you. Some new recipes I tried, a few surprises from the garden and such. I tried my hand at homemade pizza from dough made from scratch. Not exactly a looker, but it was delicious. I am such a klutz sometimes, I think I have 10 buttered thumbs…
End-Of-Year Teacher Appreciation Gifts
It is time for Boy to graduate to the next level in his pre-school. He is not old enough to be eligible to the public school programs here (boo!), but he has been going to a private place since he turned three. He has had 2 main teachers and 2-3 substitute teachers within a span…
How We Had Fun This Summer
Summer heat is tough. But I love it because of all the sunshine and long daylight hours. Want to know what we did so far? We blew bubbles, or rather ‘shot’ them out of a bubble gun! We are enjoying the flowers in our little garden. And I got a little ‘bokeh’ effect going on…
What I Am Reading Now – #3
It has been so long since I posted one of these. Reading has kind of taken a back seat. But, I read my magazines… and blogs! I am sure they count as reading!! 1). Reader’s Digest I loved it when I was young, especially the jokes and little funny stories they put at the bottom…
A Few Of My Favorite Things #1
Let me show you a few of my little treasures, gathered from here and there and everywhere! It is a random collection of items in my home that I love and enjoy! Wildflowers in a vase. I just love yellow blooms! And white ones too. Delicate crepe myrtle blossoms gathered from under a tree in our…
Weekend Getaway – Sun, Sand, Surf & More
We went on a mini vacation last weekend to Corpus Christi in Texas. It is a small city along the Gulf of Mexico, with beaches as the main attraction. But we decided to skip the famous beaches, and headed out to the remote Malaquite Beach, along the Padre Island seashore. Boy had a list of…
