Always Thankful for Family

A while ago I took my niece Livy to her grandparents cottage, and while we were there I thought it would be a good idea to take some Thanksgiving themed pictures because I wasn't sure I would see her for the holiday. And because I am all about cheesiness I made sure we had matching outfits. I will not even begin to describe the amount of shapewear I had to wear underneath to get this dress to fit. What can I say the only matching outfits I could find were in the kids department. Once I was trussed up and dressed like a turkey we headed outside to take some pictures. I got the camera all set up on the tripod and angled as best I could. I then scooped Livy up in to my arms and told her to say cheese. It seems the little trickster didn't like my smile and helped "fix" it.

She is just a laugh a minute I tell ya. I thought it would be good for Livy to write down what she was thankful for on an easel I found in the shed. I handed her a piece of chalk and got to setting up the camera for another picture. When I first walked over after adjusting the camera I saw she was thankful for candy. I asked her if there was anything else she was thankful for, knowing there was only one answer I was looking for. She listed a few other things before landing on the one I wanted to see. It's nice to know where family ranks on the list!

Playing the tourist

Summer vacation is winding to and end here in my little corner of the world.That means back to school and that comes along getting ready. That means it is time for one last trip and to fill my senses with somewhere new. The sites and smells of somewhere new can be a welcome break from the usual.

Having a camera with you to take pictures is a great way to bring back all those feelings from your trip, especially if it was a good one! You could also throw them into a scrapbook if that is what you are into. Or is you are more like me they will sit on your computer waiting to be viewed again and maybe printed off.

Minty Stroll

That guitar looks mighty tempting, too bad I have no musical talent. Maybe if I grabbed a few pennies and tossed them into the well I could wish for some. I don't think that is how it works so maybe I can just find someone to teach me. And maybe another teacher for the piano. Oh I know instead of collecting objects I shall collect teachers. Let's see first on the list a guitar teacher, then a piano teacher, then maybe I could learn the violin.

I better get a move on, that is a lot of instructors to find and instruments to rent, or buy. Oh I wonder if I can add a vintner to teach me the fine art of making wine!

Time Out Troublemaker

My adorable little niece Livy has been visiting me a lot lately. I thought I would make a cute little space in my house for her to enjoy, a small play area complete with some space for me to chill and watch her.

Of course as with all kids she caused a little mischief so I needed to put her in time out. Even the fun Aunt needs to have some rule. She was less than thrilled with me.

After her time out we had a brief review of the rules and then some cookies. Cookies make everything better. I may have also promised her a trip to the beach in the future.

Ice Cream Time!

There is nothing better on a hot summer day at the beach than ice cream. I love the beach, even if I do burn like it's my job. In fact I do love the outdoors in general, it's just the sun doesn't love me back. I mean here I am looking like a sunset with a sunny necklace and still no love from the sun!

Oh well even if the sun isn't showing me love I will still love it. My ice cream is really delicious, would you like a lick?

Concert's over

When the music stops playing and the crowds have departed I guess that means the party is over. That's okay though because the music will play on in my head for ages.

As I was dressing myself it got this music festival vibe so I went with it.
