My family has been using the same sugar cookie recipe for years – ever since I can remember, actually. We make the cookies for many different occasions, especially birthdays and Christmas, and always have fun decorating them. I think that’s the best thing about sugar cookies: they’re literally a blank canvas to cut and decorate […]

Happy Saturday! For some reason the weeks have been just flying by for me – which I’m ok with, as it just brings me to another weekend! πŸ™‚ Last weekend, upon the begging request of my dad, I made key lime pie. I’ve made it before using a couple of methods. One is with a […]

4 1/2 more weeks….4 1/2 more weeks….4 1/2 more weeks…. Seriously. That’s all I have left. There are good things and bad things about this. Good: Well, it’s only 4 1/2 more weeks of school! I’ll be one semester away from graduation (I still have to student teach)! Summer is nearing! I’ll be babysitting some […]

Marvelous is… Easter and all that it stands for. Marvelous is… The fact that I got to spend all weekend with my family. Recent events have shown me just how lucky I am to have a good relationship with everyone in my family. It’s pretty great. Marvelous is… Having the door open on a warm […]

Before I get back to my regular blogging routine, I just want to say thank you to those of you who left comments on my post last Wednesday. This past week was a very difficult one, but all of the support from you meant so much to me. I love my little blogging community. πŸ™‚ […]

My grandpa passed away on Tuesday night. I’m going to take a break from everything for a while to remember my grandpa and spend time with family. Rest in peace, Grandpa. β€œThings we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.”

So today’s WIAW is going to be short and sweet. I even considered calling it Wordless WIAW, buttttt we all know that I like to talk. Or type. You know what I mean. πŸ˜‰ First of all, I feel like I need to clarify: the pictures that I put in my Green post were completely, […]
