Throwback Thursday




According to my clock it is still Thursday but only for a few more minutes so I'll have to make this a quick post.  
The photo is of my sweet niece Haleigh.  It was taken by one of the many guests at a baby shower being held in my honor in preparation for Miss Britt.  Those of you that know my family now realize it was nearly 14 years ago. 
It isn't the best photo of Haleigh but back in the day not everyone you know was trying to be a professional photographer like it seems they (myself included) are these days.
Anyway the photo.  I came across it the other night while looking at old photos with the girls.  Seeing that I don't own a scanner I used my phone to take a picture of a picture (I've done quite a lot of that lately)   I miss all the girls being this little more and more every day.  They are all growing up so fast it sometimes makes my head spin.  I mean really...her sisters (the babies in our family) are almost 9.  Where did our time together go? I remember Haleigh at the age in this photo.  Getting to see her all the time when I went to pick up my girls from grandmas house after work.  She has always been the cutest girl.  I hate that I haven't gotten to be as close to Haleigh as my nanny Fern was with me, but despite that I am so proud of the beautiful young lady she is growing into.
I sent this picture to her this evening just for giggles.  I thought it was a sweet  reminder of days gone by.  She text back with "throwback Thursday"  I loved the phrase and asked her if I could steal it and use it here in the blog.  She said she didn't mind so I thought what better picture to start a new series of posts than with the picture of her.
Thanks Haleigh for the inspiration to post this evening.   I love you.

And to  all of you reading, drag out those boxes of old photos and albums and see what wonderful memories you conjure up from the "good ol days".  I would love to hear about them.

PS. It's after midnight now but I'm still calling it "Throwback Thursday" :)
Thanks for reading and have a great up coming weekend

Love you all

Throwback Thursday

    Let me just start by saying straight out of the gate that I absolutely hate to be on the front side of any camera much less my own.  Now it isn't that I don't enjoy being in the moment, I do.  I just enjoy taking the pictures instead of being in them if that makes any sense at all.   With that said I'm glad I was on the front side of this camera this day.  I suppose all little girls dream of growing up, getting married and having babies.  I know when I was a little girl my friends and i would play house, we would more less mark of sections of the room as mine and theirs these sections would be my house or her house.  we'd have baby dolls name them fun names.  We had fun.  I don't know that I ever really thought about actually having children when I grew up.  And as I got older I remember that I didn't even want to get married when I grew up much less have any kids.  But we all grow up. And that guy comes along t...

Super sweet scrub

So the picture isn't the best, you're not looking at a wonderful back drop or perfectly packaged product for this jar of sugar scrub.  But what you are looking at is a simply wonderful homemade sugar body scrub.  I am guilty of spending more than my share of time on the ever growing in popularity website craze "Pinterest" just looking and pinning, pinning, pinning.  I asked myself some time last week "what is the point in this if I don't try some of the things I am pinning."  So yesterday I found this recipe for a sugar body scrub, it helps take off  dry dead skin and it hydrates as well. Now I know we haven't been hit with a bad winter (yet) but the air has been terribly dry and my skin is really suffering all dry and itchy.  My hands have gotten so bad that they were starting to crack and bleed around my cuticles.  So I made this scrub last night before taking my shower.  Here is what I did: Mix 1/3 cup of each in a bowl Brown sugar Regular...

A new year

Ugh!  I have started and deleted this blog entry more times than I care to admit. :)  I have so many things floating around in my mind that I want to write about that I keep jumbling them all up on the page and they are not making sense to me so I am sure you will not have a clue what I am saying...babble, babble, babble... Anyway maybe this one will work for us all. The new year.  2012  Wow.  I am getting so old, I don't ever recall thinking this far in to the future when I was a kid except maybe when I watched movies with flying cars and hoovering skate boards and such thinking it would be neat to have a flying car.  but here we are still living a pretty normal life without all that stuff. I chuckle a little when I think of all the things I enjoy, these things certainly don't "fit" the year 2012 as the movie writers would write it. Because I don't want a flying car, I think it would be fun to ride a horse everywhere or have a covered w...
