Day 27.  Shadow.

Just a few pictures of shadows that I noticed when I was sitting out on the back deck this afternoon :)

shadows of leaves on a chair

shadow of me :)

shadows of our deck railing, and some plants waiting to be planted in our garden

And now I leave you to watch Pirates of the Caribbean with my family :)

Have a great evening everyone!

Day 26.  Cold.

Sitting outside in the sun on a hot summer day with my book and something cold to eat sounds pretty much perfect to me.  :)

Frozen fruit :)

Day 25.  Looking down.

Just a picture of my little toes, and a glimpse of my pretty new shirt :)

day 24 - June 27

Day 24.  Hair.

Sorry for my extended absence!  This weekend was really crazy.  We had company and there was a lot going on... I decided that it was more important to spend time with my family than to try (and probably fail ;)) to say something that made sense everyday :)

First off you have to know that I love my hair.  It is probably the thing I like most about myself. :) And today I braided it around my head which is one of my favorite ways to wear it.  So, prepare for a photo overload :)

From the front:

 And the back:

 And close up:

My hair is fairly fine but I have a lot of it, and it is currently pretty long so I don't do this too, too, often :)  It takes time and only stays up when my hair is wet... The upside though is that tomorrow it will be all pretty and wavy :)  

Sunday social - June 24

Linking up again! :)




What is your all-time favorite song?


Hmmm.... I actually cannot think of one song that is my absolute favorite but, a few that I love are: 
'Empire' by Rococode, 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' by The Verve, 'Canadian Girls' by Dean Brody, 'Waka Waka' by Shakira, 'Our God' by Chris Tomlin, 'Rolling in the Deep' by Adele, 'Iridescent' by Linkin Park, 'Holy' by Matt Redman, 'The Blue Danube' by Strauss and 'Here I Am to Worship' by Tim Hughes... 

What is your favorite singer/band?


Casting Crowns, The Beatles, Yann Tiersen, News Boys, Charlie Parker, Aretha Franklin, Miles Davis.... Again I seem to be unable to pick only one... I am noticing a recurring theme here :)

What is your theme song/song that best describes your life?


I don't think that I really have a theme song or a song that describes my life but, the one that comes the closest is probably I Was Here by Beyonce. 

What songs puts you in a good mood?


Pretty much anything that I can dance too to be honest. :)

What is your favorite road-trip music?


Usually a pretty random mix of  things... my favorites and anything by The Beatles plus whatever else I am feeling like at the time... It tends to change depending on my mood :)

What song are you embarrassed to admit you love?

Not a song but a whole album, Up All Night by *gasp* One Direction. Now if you will excuse me I will bury myself in hole of embarrassment...

Can you tell that I have super eclectic taste in music? ;)

The Nail Files - June 22

Linking up with The Nail Files again :)

My friend came by today and did this fun design for me with some nail pens she brought over.  :)

Unfortunately I did not think far enough ahead, and have no sweet clue what the brand name is or what the colours are called.  :P

Anyway, I loved how easy it was, and I think that I may need to buy some of these for myself :)  Does anyone have a suggestion brand wise?  Something that you have tried and love?

Don't forget to check out the link for some fun nails :) 

Have a great afternoon!

day 23 - June 20

Day 23.  Money.

Yep.  It's money folks...  Not much I can add to that. :)

But, I got outside for a bit today and it was awesome!   I just sat in the shade and read, but it was the highlight of my week :)  I feel so much more relaxed...  I think that I will have to work that into my daily schedule :)

Also, you should totally check out the Beth Moore study 'Living Beyond Yourself'.  All I can say is that it is amazing.

Aaaannd, I have been watching the tv show 'Bones' while I have been laid up and it is killing me!  I totally love it but I only have 9 episodes left and I don't really see how they can finish up all the side stories in that time... Arrgg ;)

day 22 - June 19

Day 22.  Something you ate.

Mmm... Yummy supper!
Thin crust almond flour pizza with turkey pepperoni and celery with tzatziki :)
