I started blogging in 2010 before I knew who I was becoming. This space has watched me grow through faith, fear, food, budgeting, milestones, heartbreak, miracles, and 9+ million map views later… I’m still here. Still documenting. Still evolving. Still believing stories matter.

Julia Doodling
 |
| I feel ashamed to admit, I never really knew my Julia (13) could draw. Is that horrible? I found her drawing on a little note card.Which she was actually going to throw away! She explained she was only doodling? I told her per Wikipedia : Doodle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoodleShare
A doodle is an unfocused drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes.

Choker Necklace on Lamp Shade

To My Think Tank Thursday Friends & Saving 4 Six Friends
I was so excited to find a choker necklace at a yard sale for 25 cents. I never tried it on -well it didn't fit.It felt as if the necklace was "choking"me. Go figure. Julia (13) didn't like it so I decided to decorate my lampshade. It looks really cute!

| Here's the tight little 25 cents choker. I decided not to model the necklace in fear of losing some readers with my bad hair day.and the all natural look was really not working for me today. |

| Pretty right? Excuse the mood lighting. It was a late night picture. |
