When good things just happen...

Sunday Buggie and I found ourselves outside enjoying the gorgeous day.

Pre usual sidewalk chalk was out and I started doodling.

When I had drawn a few hearts, something came to me.

I could take a picture of Buggie for her Valentines Day card for school!

Then after a little brainstorming, we go this shot...

Later I came in downloaded it to my computer, added some text, and then sent it back to my phone.

Where I opened up Postal Pix, click a button and ordered 20 prints, for $7 bucks after shipping!

I can not wait to get the little 4x4 prints and work up a little DIY to go with them.

Look for it, cause you know I will HAVE to blog it!

Oh hey did you notice new social buttons have been added to my sidebar -->

You can run but you can not hide, cause now I am everywhere, HA!

Join in some fun...

My favorite photo of 2011 {The Paper Mama Challenge}

When I read The Paper Mama's challenge for the week, my first thought was *phesh* I know

exactly which photo was my favorite from 2011.

Then I went to find it and came across at least 50 more that I thought *phesh* thats my favorite, no this one, oh man but I really like this one.

I guess this will happen when you take at least 15 photos a day.

So lets do the math if I average 15 photos a day x 365 days = an OBSCENE amount of photos.

Here is the one I settled on...

{taken with my phone}

A moment when Buggie was doing her thing and Bean was on the sidelines cheering her on.

I love how it captures a single moment.

Not one of them posed, sitting pretty, and holding hands.

Just them being who they are my fun, loving, carefree kiddies.

And for the cherry on top it is at our beach.

The same exact sandy shoreline that has been our families spot for 5 generations.

My great grandparents owned a little motel right here, so my kids are now the 5th generation to play in this little stretch of the Gulf of Mexico.

And just the thought of it gives me goosebumps.

So yes this is my favorite photo I took in 2011.

Pity Party Table of One. {free movies}

As I was running out the door last night for a fun Mommies night out I heard an unmistakable thud.

The noise of my precious iphone hitting the floor with a mad fiery.

No worries, this has happened a hundred times.

So out the door I ran.

In the car {I was not driving, Orpah!} I pulled my phone out to check my email.

When I got this screen...

And it stayed that way. So of course when I got home I Googled to see if there was a fix. Before I could finish typing "white scree", google in all its infinite wisdom popped up with "white screen iphone". YEAH they know what I need.

Then after clicking, I saw it.

"WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH."

This can not be good.

I tried the "helpful" fixes online but nothing.

So ↑ that sad face above will be heading to its local AT&T store this morning. If you need me just following the steady flow of tears.

But on a fun side note:

Do you have a local Regal Cinema? If so, did you know that they show FREE movies twice a week during the summer? And not only one movie but TWO! Well this is our second summer enjoying the cool, dark theater. Click here for movie dates and times. {this is a great way to test the movie waters if you have a little one. if you need to leave early you do not feel like you just flushed 50 bucks down the toilet!}
