Photo Friday

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've all had a lovely week, but geeze... I'm so happy it's the weekend. It's been a week full of lots of screaming children and therefore a whole lot of naps, and honestly it's been a bit of a blur. I have taken pictures, and I'm still keeping up with my project (here), so there are a few little bits and pieces I can remember. Thank goodness for Instagram.

A little collage from a Braves game that was so hot, but so fun. Check out more pictures here!

I found these awesome plastic bubbles at the Dollar Store and went a little crazy.

Hershey looking very profound & patriotic for the Fourth of July.

The lighthouse was looking very patriotic, too.

You've gotta love a pool day... until the children take over. That's the cue to get the heck out of there.

Took a pit stop at the neighborhood dock on one of my bike rides just in time for the sunset. I don't think I'll ever get tired of that place.

Puppies really do make the best pillows.

The Crepe Myrtles are in full bloom and it makes me so, so happy. Flowers everywhere.

I hope you have a fantastic weekend. Any plans?

Photo Friday

Today's Photo Friday is going to be short and sweet! Yesterday I spent all day sleeping, making pie, listening to country music, and heading downtown for pizza & fireworks. I love holidays like this that are tons of fun, but also remind you of what really matters. I'll be saying a prayer for all of those men and women who are away from their friends & families today so that I can be with mine. I hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July & have an incredible weekend!

Happy 4th of July!

Sparklers, anyone?

Happy Fourth everyone! Today is my day off, so hopefully I'm still asleep when this posts, enjoying the holiday. I'm ready to spend the day eating pie, wearing red, white, & blue, and watching fireworks. Every week at the summer camp I work at we have a new theme, and this weeks is "USA." We've been doing fun crafts like making Uncle Sam masks and finger painting flags. It's all been very fun, & it's gotten me in a good mood for the Fourth. Whether you are celebrating the holiday or you live in another country, I hope you have a absolutely lovely day! What are your plans? Be sure to come back tomorrow for a very patriotic Photo Friday! 

p.s. This is the first GIF I've ever made, and I'm super proud. I don't mean to brag, but yes I do.

On My Nails: OPI I Love You Cherry Much

I bought this color in December time thinking it would be fun to wear for Christmas (and oh, it was), but it's been great for other occasions too. In April I got to go see a Taylor Swift concert and this was perfect for my nails... and for painting a 13 on my hand. Now that it's time for 4th of July, and seeing how I'm terrible at any sort of nail art, I think this is the perfect fit. I Love You Cherry Much is a gorgeous red, with a bit of sparkle and sheen that's fun without being too over the top.

OPI has the cutest names, hands down. I really need to invest in more, because I'm in love with the brushes, and this needed just 2 coats. I also love pairing it with Kook-A-Mango underneath to make it a bit brighter.

I always forget how difficult being a one-woman-show can be until I take pictures like the one above. I was balancing my camera on my knee, with self timer, but I got it. Thank goodness. I think it's also time I invest in a tripod.

I'm very excited for 4th of July this year... and as I'm writing this I don't even have plans. Besides making this pie again. I should probably figure that out.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

This past weekend Amanda & her family were kind enough to take me with them to Atlanta to see the Braves play! Although it was pretty dang hot and sweaty out, the game was really awesome. There's just something fun about going to watch a baseball game every now and then. I have great memories of going to see the Braves with my family and my old youth group, so it's always fun when I get to go back. I took some pictures while we were there and I think they are quite fitting for this week as we're getting ready to celebrate the Fourth of July. Oh, and the Braves won! Duh. Enjoy!

The Yankees & The Braves are the baseball two teams I root for, what about you?
