Photos of the Week: July 17th

 The summer is just flying by and I am having so much fun joining in with Lysha and her challenge each week.  Almost all of my photos this week are from our Maine trip.



– torn-- We found a stand selling homemade ice cream and I was so torn over what flavor to try



– newsprint-- I was totally stumped by this prompt and finally just settled on taking a photo of all the flyers we get in the mail.




– connected-- This bridge connected two sides of the marsh to make one really long walk. 



– curved-- I love how the water curved around the land. 



– your choice-- Morning fog on the lake

    Fab photos all - I specially love that curvy one and the great bridge. I reckon I put on weight just looking at that ice cream cone! CarolG

      LOL. It was definitely not a weight friendly weekend away. (as that is only one of the two ice cream cones I got on that trip!)

    We took a trip to Maine 3 years ago and fell in love with it! So much unique beauty there. Your pictures capture it so well.

      I thought so too; I saw that curve in the water and just knew it would be perfect.

    Great job with the prompts from last week! I think my favorite is the curved picture.

    I can't decide if your interpretation of "torn" or the "curved" photo is my favourite. "Curved" is just a stunning picture.

Let's Look At.. Our Medicine Cabinet

Image
I join in with the ladies for Let's Look At (the 2nd Wednesday of every month) so sporadically, but this year I am trying to be more intentional about joining in.  This month we're looking at our medicine cabinet.   While we don't have a traditional medicine cabinet I do have one large-ish closet in our master bathroom that I tend to keep pretty much everything in.  I re-organized it back in 2020 when I was on a kick organizing the whole house.   I use these clear bins and then made my own labels.  The top shelf: The bin on the left holds my curling irons and heated styling tools that I rarely use.   The bin on the right holds all our travel items and things The second shelf down: The bin on the left holds all our medicines and the bin on the right (which I didn't bother to photograph) just holds q-tips and cotton balls. We typically keep cough drops, NyQuil capsules, Vicks shower tabs, Motrin, Sudafed, Vicks vapo-rub and a few at home Covid tests on hand.  The next she

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

September's 10 on the 10th!

Image
 Monday's September 10th and it will be time to link up with Marsha for her 10 on the 10th but since we have the Not Just a Mom link up that day I figured I'd post my answers and questions a bit earlier.  Marsha always makes me think long and hard about these!!  1. My favorite 9 letter word is diagnosis -- I can't get into much detail (since it's not me) but we have a family member undergoing lots of testing for some medical issues and I just know that we are all just praying for a diagnosis. Somehow just the knowing what you are dealing with is much less scary than lots of professionals making their best guess and offering to try different treatments that might or might not work.  2. I had to Google songs with September in the title and out of all the hits I got I only recognized one or two of them so I guess I'd have to say my favorite is September by Earth, Wind, & Fire since it's the only one I really know. 3. In our area the most famous celebration
