Countdown to football

It's no secret that I am a HUGE Auburn fan!  And my husband is an even BIGGER Mississippi State fan.  In our house, football is not just something that comes on tv on Saturday and Sunday, it's a way of life.  My husband has been inundating me with football for the last few weeks.  Let's just say I have learned to tune out some of it ;) With football season fast approaching, one of the most important things to a good football season is tailgating.  Pinterest has been keeping me busy and I can not wait to try some of these wonderful recipes out!

How cute would this look at a tailgate!

And what would a tailgate be without a cute orange and blue outfit!?

Photography Challenge: Week #5


It is now week #5 of the photography challenge.  I have had a lot of fun learning more about my camera, plus it's a reason for me to blog.  I really do intend to blog more often, but I have found life has been too busy or just not interetesting enough to blog about. 

Week #5's challenge: Shoot from a high angle

Well what better than to take a few shots while at work.  I work in the third tallest building in Atlanta and thought the 50th floor of the building would make for some pretty high angles.  Here is what I came up with.

Buckhead
High Museum of Art

1180 Peachtree




View of the park at our building, unfortunately the shade of the building didn't make for a great picutre.

Photography Challenge: Week 4

I know, I know I'm late to the party again!  It's been somewhat of a crazy week.  So without further ado, my pictures for the Photography Challenge Week 4: Dinner.

Like I said, it was a crazy week, so I never made it to the grocery store.  So for our dinner, we headed out to KFC.


And since it was my sister's birthday this week, I thought I would throw in a picture of her cake.  My dad is an excellent cake baker!

Photography Challenge : Week 3 (a few days late)

Thursday morning my mom and I flew up to Chicago to spend a few days with my grandmother.  My grandmother has been in and out of the hospital lately recovering from a broken hip and a few other things that come from old age.  For the last month she has been staying in a facility that is helping her get stronger everyday so she can come back home to my aunt's house.  I haven't been up here since thanksgiving last year and a visit was long overdue.

So unfortunately, my photography entry is a few days late.  However, my grandmother and our time together has left me with some great pictures.  I have never, ever seen my grandmother with her nails painted.  She has never been that interested in things like that so to my surprise her fingernails were bright pink.  Unfortunately she thought the nurse painted them, but in reality my aunt gave her a manicure to pass the time while she stays at the rehab facility.  I thought her bright pink nails and green root beer float would be the perfect subject.

These hands have raised five children, seventeen grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren.


 I thought I would throw in a few more pictures of my mom and I spending the day outside with her.
