Her Photo-A-Day (Week 1, February, 2013)

Another week of snapping photos. Here's what I was able to capture...

2.2 Pattern

Sean loves Carvel ice cream cakes and he only gets one a year, on his birthday. He picked this one out because it was so amazing looking.

2.1 Fork

I did not take a photo on Friday (crazy, crazy day) so I decided to use my fork photo as a way of showing what the inside of Sean's ice cream cake looked like. To answer the question I know you are all asking - yes it tasted as good as it looked!

2.3 Something that Starts with an "E"

When Sean lived in Australia, he had a puppy named "Enzo". He was super cute and everyone loved him! Such a great puppy!!

2.4 Hope

My mom is a breast cancer survivor. I am so proud of her and I am so glad that she was able to find the lumps early so she could be here to see and love on her granddaughter (my niece). I hope and hope and hope for a day when there is no more cancer in the world!

2.5 Something You Smelled

I love, love Chinese food. It smells good and tastes better.

2.6 Soft

During winter, I am always cold. I am never without a blanket to curl up under to try and stay warm. This is my favorite!

That was my week of photos. Click the list below to join in the fun.

 

Happy Snapping,

Her Photo-a-Day (Week 4)

I am loving my photo-a-day project! Here's what I snapped this week...

1.24 Stripes

I decided to start a new knitting project using some yarn that I got from one of my yarn-group-ladies. I love that it is making purple, white, and pink stripes as I knit.

1.25 Landscape

Love the connection - this day was a landscape photo and it snowed the first big snow in two years in our area. Yay for snow and Yay for an easy photo!

1.26 Together

I meant to take a photo of a friend and I while we were at the movies, but it slipped my mind as we chatted and enjoyed popcorn before the movie started. I decided to take a photo of Sean and my dessert for the evening since together they made the best bread pudding ever!!! Click here for the recipe - Chocolate Bread Pudding by SkinnyTaste

1.27 Sun

I went looking to see where the sun was when I saw the photo topic for the day. It seemed perfectly positioned between the limbs of a tree so I snapped and loved!

1.28 Through
I could not come up with any ideas for this one. I realized after the sun had gone down that I should have taken a photo of the backyard through the sliding glass door. *sigh*

1.29 Grow
Since it's winter, nothing is really growing here. I tried to get creative and think about other things that grow but my mind wasn't with it.

1.30 Down
Another excuse :( -- School is so hectic busy that I forgot all about this photo. I promise to pick back up tomorrow.

Another week of photos. Click below to see February's list and to join in the fun.

Happy Snapping,

Her Photo-a-Day (Week 3, January)

It's another week of photos. Here's what was captured this week...

1/17: Ready

I purchased a Weight Watchers ActiveLink a few weeks ago and my assessment phase is complete. I am excited to get my first challenge - 2 Activity Points a day, going to start slow which is great - and get started!

1/18: Shadow

It snowed a very small amount here on Thursday night. I love that, for the morning hours, my backyard is in shadows so the snow stuck around a little while longer.

1/19: Delicious

We had to get up early on Saturday morning so our "reward" was breakfast at our favorite brekkie restaurant, The Broken Egg Bistro. Sean ordered a Monte Cristo sandwich (which he loved) and I ordered the Cinnamon French Toast with turkey sausage and hash browns. It was delicious as always!

1/20: Something You Saw

 

I was proud of myself that I got off my booty and went to the gym in the morning. I wasn't sure how I would do since it had been a while since I rode the bike at the gym. I was pleased when I saw that I had "ridden" almost 5 miles in 35 minutes.

1/21: What You Do

Since this was a holiday (Martin Luther King Day), I couldn't take an actual photo of my classroom or of me teaching. I saw this quote on a friend's Facebook page and thought it was fitting for the day and for what I do.

1/22: Corner

We finally unpacked some of the house "decorations". It feels good to have these things unpacked and displayed. All of these are from my college days - GO SQUIRRELS!

1/23: Electric

I LOVE to read and I I like reading on my Nook. It's nice carrying something that is smaller than a regular book and when I finish, the next book is right there. 

Happy Snapping,

Her Photo-a-Day (Week 2, January)

FMS Photo-a-day, Week 2...this is what I captured...

1/10: One O'Clock
At 1:00 p.m., I am teaching an English class. At 1:00 a.m., I am snoozing so I can teach my classes. Couldn't do this one. :(

1/11: Water
I had my photo for this one chosen and forgot! I was going to take a picture of the construction zone that is the new school we are going to have next year - YAY!! - but Boo! that I forgot.

1/12: Surprise

When I started knitting, I found a group of women who meet-up once a week at different restaurants and coffee shops in the area to knit and socialize. They have welcomed me into their group and I really like knitting with them. When I went to the Saturday morning meetup at a local coffee shop (which had the best latte ever - put Starbucks to complete shame!!), one of the ladies had some "orphan" yarn that she was giving away. It was a nice surprise and now I just have to figure out what I want to knit with my new stuff!! :)

1/13: Circle

 

I love candles - I love how they make the house smell. I love, love Bath and Body Works three-wick candles. I love, love, love all things vanilla. Knowing all of these things, my sister gave me this candle for Christmas - Vanilla Snowflake.  

1/14: Something Yellow

My mother-in-law saw this sign years ago and decided Sean and I should have it. I smile every time I see it and think of her.

1/15: An Ordinary Moment

Sean made enchiladas - yum, yum! Alex decided he wanted some too. This is a very ordinary moment in our household. Dinner + a begging dog!!

1/16: Two Things 

There is a tea store nearby that sells every blend of tea leaves imaginable. This combo was a sample one night while we were walking by. It tastes sweet but cinnamon-y. Delish!

Happy Snapping!
