    Finding Affordable Ways To Show Off Your Photos

    March 4, 2019 /

    (Image Credit) Digital photography has done an awful lot to change the way that people take their pictures. Opening the doors to loads more storage space, the ability to easily edit images after they are taken, and opportunities to delete photos, this sort of hobby doesn’t have to be budgeting anywhere near as strictly as it used to be. Of course, though, when it comes to bringing a digital image into the real world, things can start to get a little more expensive. To help you out with this, this post will be exploring some of the most affordable ways to start enjoying your own photo prints without having to…

    #fbf Mums

    November 30, 2018 /

    For this flashback Friday I thought it’d be nice to revisit fall since we’re in the midst of holiday and winter content now. Here’s a look of a pot of multicolor mums I got back in October. When I got the plant it was just buds so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out they were multicolor blooms! I love the mix of pink, red, and orange. So pretty! Sadly my mums are no longer and not because it got cold. The snow we got a few weeks ago crushed them and basically broke my poor plant in half! Have a great Friday!

    So happy today is Friday! This 4 day week hasn’t been too bad, but life has been so hectic lately that I will take any kind of break I can get. Today’s photo challenge response is sadly the last one! The Daily Post has decided to end their weekly challenges on WordPress, which is a bummer as I really enjoyed using the photo challenges as an excuse to take new photos and/or look through all my old ones to find a photo to use. I thought about finding new photo challenges to take part in as there are so many on the Internet I’m sure, but I think what I…

    Photo Challenge: Place in the World

    May 18, 2018 /

    Happy Friday! It may almost be the weekend, but it’s actually the start of a very busy week (or two or three) for me. I have 3 weddings to go to in the span of 4 weekends plus lots of wedding related events and other social events to go to during the weeks. Oh yeah and regular/work/personal things to get done. Hopefully I don’t completely burn out! But let me take one thing at a time so as to keep myself from going crazy – starting with today’s photo challenge response. The Daily Post’s photo challenge last week was “Place in the World“. I decided to use a photo from…

    It’s finally Friday, everyone! This week has felt exceptionally long and yesterday was particularly stressful and crazy, but that’s for another day. Hopefully today will be a much calmer day at work and then I’ve got dinner plans and a bonfire at work/school so at least those are things to look forward to! If you had asked me a few years ago if I would ever watch a “movie under the stars” and it be broad daylight at 10pm, I would say that’s crazy – highly “Unlikely“. But, lo and behold, I was on an Alaskan cruise 2 summers ago and watched two or three movies under the stars on…

    It’s finally Friday! It’s been one of those weeks where every day I thought for a split second that the next day was Friday and unfortunately, it wasn’t. But it is Friday, so let’s get to today’s photo challenge response! Last week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post was “Lines” and I really did not know what I was going to use for my photo. I was scrolling through photos on my phone and saw this photo I snapped last summer at a Starbucks. This wall art of metal lines curled up to look like a steaming hot cup of coffee is curled around light bulbs for a wall art/light…

    Happy Friday! Any big plans this weekend? It’s been another week where I have been going to sleep too late, so I’m looking forward to sleeping in a little tomorrow morning. I’ve got an early appointment Sunday morning so tomorrow is my only chance! Let’s get to my Friday photo challenge response. Last week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post was “Prolific“. Prolific can mean plentiful, abundant. Whenever I think of the word “prolific”, it makes me think of famous people and their careers – if they produce a lot of work, that is. The photo I’m using is from my trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (you…

    Happy Friday! It’s still not feeling totally spring-like here yet. The flowering trees are blooming which is nice, but there’s still no leaves on the other trees. I’m still patiently waiting. But, since most other places in the countryΒ are experiencing spring it seems right that the photo challenge last week on The Daily Post was “Awakening“. A majority of the trees might still be bare, but spring flowers are available at the stores and I couldn’t help but pick up some tulips recently. Tulips are one of my favorite spring flowers. They are so pretty! They definitely remind me of Easter, which I always associate with the start of spring.…

1 Last Shot by @nikkicastleromance is the 4th book 1 Last Shot by @nikkicastleromance is the 4th book in the Fight Game series πŸ₯Š and I finally got to read it and of course, loved it! 

This one focuses on Kane and Isabella who were both briefly introduced in book 3. Kane is a new fighter at the gym who is quiet, keeps to himself, and very intense πŸ₯Š. Isabella is new to Philly and starting a new chapter after an injury ended her professional ballet career 🩰. 

Kane is quiet and grumpy with a dark past and Isabella is sunshine, goodness, and new to living on her own and taking care of herself. The two are total opposites, but end up being neighbors and becoming friends and more. Kane wants to help Isabella navigate life on her own and feels protective of her. Isabella wants to help Kane open up more and smile and laugh πŸ₯ΉπŸ’•. 

I loved this book so much πŸ’œ. Kane and Isabella were so perfect together and I loved how even though they were opposites they were just what the other needed. It was so beautiful to watch Kane learn to trust Isabella and let someone be there for him when he’s never known that in his life πŸ’œ. 

Read this if you want a spicy, opposites attract, grumpy sunshine, sports romance! πŸ“š My full review is on the blog ✨

Things We Left Behind is the third and final book Things We Left Behind is the third and final book in the Knockemout series by @scorelucy πŸ“š. I’ve been so excited about this one because it is about Lucian and Sloane and if you’ve read the first two books you know that the two hate each other but no one really knows why. 

The novel opens with the funeral of Sloane’s father who was beloved by everyone including Lucian. It’s also learned that Sloane’s parents think of Lucian as a son so what happened to these two that were once the best of friends as teens to make them β€œenemies” for 20 years? πŸ’”

The thing that happened in the past is something that neither of them has been willing to talk about or get past and as much as they supposedly hate each other they also can’t stay away from each other when they share mutual best friends and as much as they both hate to admit it, they truly still care about each other. πŸ’•

An ongoing threat that has been present in the books since the beginning is still looming large in this book and when Sloane appears to be in the crosshairs now, it makes her and Lucian really come to terms with what they mean to each other and their past.🩷

I loved this book so much and am obsessed with Lucian and Sloane 😍πŸ”₯πŸ₯΅! I absolutely love this whole series but there is something so special about Lucian and Sloane and their shared history. I’m so sad this series is over but the epilogue helped soften the blow a little. 🩷

Read this book if you like spicy small town romances with the friends to enemies to lovers and second chance romance tropes. My full review is on the blog ✨
