I am…

Sunday, February 5th, 2012

…so proud that my first ever self-portrait was selected for an empowerment campaign to benefit RAINN.  The online photography community I participate in offered a donation for each self-portrait entry representing  “I am a…”.   The slideshow compilation of these selected entries is beyond amazing.   To view the entire slideshow , CLICK HERE.  {Pay attention at the running time of 5:00 (of 6:24min) to yours truly.}

Narrowing down my identity to one word was not easy, because there are so many different versions of me.   I am a mother, wife, aunt, daughter, twin, teacher, photographer, friend, soccer mom, book worm, bubble bath aficionado, domestic goddess, sister, cousin, baker, blogger,  and more.  I am me.

I’m so proud of my first Pinterest- inspired project!  These boy and girl canvases are made from Miss J’s kindergarten classmates’  hand prints  (for the big school auction fundraiser).    The Very Hungry Caterpillar was a favorite book from my teaching days, and these handprint caterpillars make me smile.  Here’s to my short-lived moment of craftiness!

Route 66

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

This little Route 66 gem is part gas station, part diner…a  total feast for eyes with over 600 flavors of bottled soda!  We found Pop’s this summer during a jaunt to OKC, and the kids were in heaven.

Popsicles and snow cones are getting us through this extreme heat! We have had 24 days so far in July with 100 degrees or higher (out of 29 days).  Oy! Hoping for a cooler August.

After the Storm…

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

The sky was gorgeous after last week’s storms in Tulsa.  Unfortunately, hail/rain/winds preceded these glorious clouds.  Sending good thoughts to all those affected by Springtime tornadoes and weather.
