July’s Favorite Things

K is for Kaely

I have no idea where the summer has gone.  But I'm pretty clear on where I have gone!  Hmm... Lake Blue Ridge GA (twice), Lake Rabun GA, Eufaula AL, Destin FL, Huntsville AL, and Albany GA.  Lotsa travel, people.  The hubs likes to pick up and go. :)  We've had a busy summer and it's already winding down... soon I'll be brushing up on my curriculum and brainstorming bulletin boards for my classroom.  Yikes!  This week it's all about the … [Read more...]

I love the way the finish turned out (read about that here).  I love that both her hands and … [Read more...]

June’s Favorite Things

And he's on "duty" while I'm nervously hob-nobbing at Haven today.   In the spirit of Father's Day we're celebrating "our" men over at Fancy Little Things this week, so I invite you to come meet my other half, the leaver of love notes and back flipper off the dock. :) And he's not bad to look at, either. :) Have a blessed day!   … [Read more...]
