Atlanta Zoo Trip

So we all know I love panda bears, right? In case you are not aware of that, I am! I have loved them for as long as I can remember. That is partly where my nickname from my hubby came from. It is a play on my name and love of panda bears. Shawn Bear. Since we live not terribly far away from the Atlanta Zoo , we…

Swimming Pool DigiScrap Layouts

I did not really realize while scrapping this week that nearly all of my digital scrapbooking layouts had one thing in common...the swimming pool! It makes sense though. This is the time of the year that the wonderful digiscrap designers start putting out their summer inspired items. I found myself scrapping pool ph…

My Guys

Gizmo, or Kitty Kitty, or Boop Boop (don't ask. lol). My sister has 3 little boys. My best friend has 2 boys. Not a girl in sight! Which is a-okay with m…

PCOS Diagnosis - My Story

I have been living with PCOS since I was a teenager. I having been living with diagnosed PCOS for nearly a year. You read that right. I lived un-diagnosed for over 15 years. 15+ years of never feeling well. 15+ years of searching for answers. Grant it, most of those years I didn't feel ill all the time. I was…

Digital Scrapbooking Nature

You should know. I love love love being out in Nature. There is not much more in life that is as cathartic as that. That is probably why I was so sick, depressed, and made stupid life choices when I was working 3rd shift. I didn't get enough time out in nature. Hiking is one of my most favorite things to do. So, a…

The Zoo, Spring 2016, & Baby Boys

If you know me for a minute you know that I love me some Panda Bears. LOVE THEM! We live just a few hours north of the Atlanta Zoo. Back in 2007 when my husband and I got married we didn't have the money for an extravagant honeymoon. We spent some time in Gatlenburg, TN and the rest in Atlanta, GA. It was the 2nd …

Changes; and 10 Years Together

Another week has dawned. Good 'ol Monday. This week has the terrible added twist of being daylight savings time. I detest both times of the year when this happens. Do I like it feeling like an hour earlier when it is time to leave work? Well sure. That doesn't come close to outweighing feeling like I am gettin…

The Reason Why I Scrapbook!

I haven't really mentioned it unless it is to people that need to know for work purposes and so on. However, my grandmother (who we call MeeMaw) has Alzheimer's. I am not going to go into detail about how we found out, the progression, and so on. This is out of respect from my family and MeeMaw herself. That…

Snow Day Digital Scrapbooking Layouts

Here in the southern part of the States (Georgia), we hardly see any snow. Usually a light dusting once a year. Twice if we are lucky. About every 10 years we have a "big" snow. Usually less than a foot of it. My son and I love love love snow though! Love it!! I am like a child when it snows. If they call …

The Flash Inspired Birthday Party

I cannot believe that Christmas is less than a week away, that 2017 is less than two weeks away, and that my (not so) little guy turned 9 years old yesterday!
