Reading Challenge… what are your kids hearing?

Fiction is my favorite.  I wish I could say that I’m cultured and intelligent enough so that my preferred genre of leisurely reading was biographies or self help books. But it is what it is, and I am what I am.  I simply love a good story.  I’ve been a fiction lover since way back,…

We love to get away for our anniversary, and this year we headed off for somewhere new… Williamsburg! It’s hard to believe we’re an old married couple now… 12 years ago we tied the big knot and now we’re o-l-d lovebirds.  :) We apparently picked the worst time of the year to get hitched though. …

Fashion Friday… fun on vacay!

This month we are going a bit “artsy” in our fashion pics.  Hopefully you won’t miss the mirror self shots too much, though I do still have some of those.  :) I was inspired by Mandy’s amazing fashion shots that are always in different locations and really must be so inconvenient and take forever.  I…
