Scrapbook Weekend in Tahoe!

Hello!  It’s Kjersti here posting from snowy Lake Tahoe, California after surviving the snow capped mountain of Donner Pass. What should have been a three hour “over the river and through the woods” took us 7 1/2 hours – good thing I have a four wheel drive.  Fortunately we packed an arsenal of Muddy Buddies […]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, Cake!

Hey sweet Shoppers, Melissa here with your blog post today. *warning, if you are on a diet, turn away now, and I mean now, don’t go on. If you do, you enter this blog post at your own risk* LOL! I was suppose to be blogging to you today about a trip to San Juan, […]

Handy Household Tips & Tricks

We all know that perusing Pinterest can lead to great dinners, desserts, layout ideas, party favors and funny posters to share with your friends.  But the one thing that I have enjoyed the most about using that site is all the great household tips that people post.   Here are just a few of my […]

Growing Up and Changing Tastes

I’m sure we can all relate to how fast time goes by these days. My oldest, Ashley, recently turned nine and I cannot believe how much older she is looking in some of her photos lately. So I went through my photo stash and pulled out a photo of her from each year since the […]

Stories That Reach Across Generations

Nothing brings generations together like a good story. Over the past couple of yaars I have had several ‘full circle’ moments as I read stories to my kids that I remember my parents reading to me as a child and I wonder if someday they will read their children the very same stories. Here are […]

One Ringy Dingy, Two Ringy Dingy…

Hello Sweet Shoppers!  It’s Kresta here, with a little bit of a history lesson for you.  Ready?  Good!  Well, on this day in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell, who was 29 years old, received a patent for his new invention – the telephone. My! How far we’ve come in 136 years!  What in the world would […]

Year-Long Projects Check-In

If anyone of you are like me, March seems to always be the point when I either give up, stop, or unknowingly let slide my year-long project goals, be it scrap-wise or in any other areas of my life. I always start the year with the best intentions, all fired up, only to have the […]

Whatcha Reading?

Hey Sweet Shoppers! Nikki here today and I thought I’d focus on books for today’s post. I’ve always been an avid reader, but it seems that when my husband is deployed I jump into my “to read” pile like I need it to survive. And in all honesty I do. After the kids are in […]

It’s The Little Things…

Hey everyone! 🙂 Zoe here to share something that has been making me smile a lot lately… From the featured image on this post, you are probably thinking “WHOA! Let’s hope that’s not a plan for a new kit” – LOL! And it’s not, it’s my own little Picasso, aka Josh, and I’m loving his […]

Self Portraits - Make Friends with your Camera

It’s Not a Mug Shot for Pete’s Sake…

I know it can feel that way sometimes. It did for me when I first started down my road to more self-portraiture. I was coming out of a nebulous fog of self-identity, the “light” at the end of a very dark tunnel. For years, I defined myself by my roles as mother, wife, church volunteer […]

The Beauty Dept.

Hey Sweet Shoppers, it’s Keely here today. After a few recent trips to Ulta, Sally’s and the beauty aisle at my beloved Target, I thought it would be fun to share a few of my go to items and recent finds. While I would never consider myself a girly girl, I love beauty products. I […]
