5 Gift Ideas Under $50

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I’m a little bit behind in posting gift ideas given there are only 7 days until Christmas and let’s face it Hanukkah was almost a month ago!!  However it might come in handy for any of you last minute gift buyers out there (like my hubby)!!  Heck this year I have to put myself in the last minute present buyer category.  If you are already done with holiday shopping these items would make for pretty good Valentine’s Day gifts as well.   Best part is these gift ideas won’t break the bank!  With a baby on the way, we decided to keep the gift giving/spending to a minimum this year.  Being on (more) of a budget this year has enabled me to find ideas I might have overlooked in the past.  I would certainly be excited to receive any of these items …

Photo Friday – Speed Hump Ahead

by ⋅ 1 Comment

As we were wrapping up the maternity photo shoot Sara snapped the picture below.  I saw the “speed hump ahead” sign and thought it was very fitting given the impending arrival of our little one.  I think I read it speed bump instead of hump, but I’m guessing you get the belly analogy.  I can’t believe the big day is so close … only 10 days until Jellybean’s due date!!

Happy Friday!

{Photo Friday} Apple Orchard

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

What is up with all this rain? Between the Government Shutdown, gloomy sky and rain DC is a pretty melancholy place today.  At least it is Friday!!  To stick with my fall/apple picking theme from yesterday I took one of the photos I took at the orchard and edited it to be black and white.  I’m really into black and white photography lately.

Apple Picking – Throwback Thursday

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

It’s Throw Back Thursday!!  Fall is officially here, which brings back tons of apple picking memories.  I don’t think you can grow up on the east coast, Massachusetts specifically, and not have gone apple picking as a child.  I’ve been dying to go apple picking someplace in Virginia, but we have been just too busy the last few weekends.  I’m hoping we can squeeze in a trip in the next couple of weekend … but it is certainly not guaranteed.

In the mean time these photos from apple picking with the husband, sister-in-law and brother-in-law will have to surface.  The husband and I were in town visiting when we all decided a field trip was in order.  Into the car we went and drove out to Applewood Orchards to do some apple picking.  Such a fun day!

And now for my favorite shot of the day.  I loved the look of this old tree and the clouds passing by.

And because I had to have a funny face picture of my own …

OK … now I really want to go apple picking.  It is fall must do!

A few recipes I want to try out once I actually GO apple picking this year include:

Those recipes look YUMMY!!

Blogs, stores and commercials are all gearing up for the holiday season (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas).  While I’m not really ready to start thinking about Hanukkah and Christmas, I’m definitely getting excited for Halloween and Thanksgiving!

What’s your fall throw back Thursday memory?

Photo Friday – A Shoulder Ride

by ⋅ 2 Comments

My favorite part of this photograph is the little girl sitting on her father’s shoulders.  I have many fond memories of getting “tired” and my father hoisting me up onto his shoulders and off we went.  This picture was taken on one of our trips to Ixtapa, Mexico.  Man would I like to be sitting on the beach, soaking up the sun today. :)
