30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 12 - My town

So today I'm supposed to show you a picture of the town I live in. Well, this picture is special because I actually took it. No, it's not of the town as a whole, though a large portion of our little town was here. 

This was a special Fourth of July celebration in our town and, with the help of a friendly fireman, I scaled the ladder to take an overhead photo!

This only shows a quarter of the activities taking place that day. But it gives you an idea of the small town love and feel :)

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 11 - My makeup bag

So you want to know what's in my makeup bag?  Well, to be honest, I don't keep a makeup bag in my purse. Well, not really.

I do, however, keep a steady supply of my favorite lip products on hand because that's the only makeup I really ever update throughout the day.

Those products are by Buxom and the shade? Dolly!  This is the PERFECT shade for me and I have it in liner, gloss and lip stick! lol  It is the perfect shade for my skin tone and makes my teeth look white while still looking natural.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 10 - Favorite place to eat

Today's challenge is to show you my favorite place to eat. I really have no clue on this one. I mean, I enjoy eating all kinds of food, but I don't really have a favorite (nor a favorite place).

I love Chinese food, sushi, medium rare steak... there is very little that I will not eat (though I don't like olives nor do I like mushrooms - though I will eat them on a pizza as long as there are loads of other toppings so I can't taste them).

I sort of bomb out on this one I guess because I simply can't pick. But at least I posted something right?

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 7 - Dream Wedding

Today's 30-Day blog challenge is to show you my dream wedding.

Well, since I'm already married to the man of my dreams, I can't exactly replace our wedding. But if we were to do some type of vow renewal, then I would have to say something along these lines.

A simple renewal on the beach in Hawaii or another tropical location. We were married in the middle of winter, so a warm location would be a nice change of pace!

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 6 - Possible Pet?

Today's challenge is to post a picture of an animal you'd love to keep as a pet.

Since Great White Sharks are a bit on the big side and are nearly impossible to keep in captivity, I went with a different choice.

There are lots of animals I would like to keep as a pet, but I'm probably in the minority when I say I love snakes.

The snake pictured is a breed of corn snake. Perfectly harmless.

I actually had the pleasure of working with one during my time volunteering at our local zoo. I absolutely loved working with him.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 5 - Photo of me from two years ago

Today's 30 Day Blog Challenge is to post a picture of myself from two years ago.

This one was hard. Not because I didn't want to use a picture of me, but because finding a picture of me is hard.

I don't carry a cell phone anymore, and I wasn't much for selfies anyway. And anytime a camera is out, I'm usually the one taking pictures!

However, I did find this one I took on an old cell phone from two years ago. As you can see, I had red hair back then.

This is donut, my cat (I didn't name him). He is the cat behind "cat on the lap".  He sits on my lap as I write and work. As you can see in the picture, he's pretty attached to me ;)

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 4 - Best Friend

I'm on day four of the 30 Day Blog Challenge. Today's challenge is "Your favorite photograph of your best friend."

I suppose if I were in middle or high school I would know exactly who my best friend is, but sadly, narrowing it down to one person is impossible. Truly. My sister is my best friend. My husband is my best friend. My dog is my best friend... so on.

So instead, I will scatter a few photos in here and tell you about them :)

My daughter with my friend and editor Hollie!

My wonderful friends Nancy and Chanda

The beautiful Nikki!



Love this guy! Jamie :)
