through my eyes

So I think I have a recipe for tomorrows post, chocolate pancakes I think, and they just happen to be vegan. Even though I'm not into vegan stuff. But I will post this week! Everyday! I think!

A Hint Of Color + An Interview With Scarlett

Here I am writing this...and I am seriously considering letting little Scarly write this post for me because I don't really feel like writing it, and because I think it would kind of awesome to have her do that. So I am going to try and have a conversation with her and I will type it all out so you guys can either laugh at it in either a good way or a bad way, your choice.

Me: Scarly, why are you throwing kitchen utensils around the kitchen?

S: Bobby bitz! Aht. Deb da dey! Boop! *screams*

Me: Scarly, why did you just stick your tounge out at me?

S: Woah! Gravel! Va voo. Da me.

Me: Scarly, why do you like Dora?

S: Mm. Bee. DORA!!! Uh oh.

Me: Scarly! Where are you going? Don't play with those rubber fishies that have hooks on them!

S: Mm bat de do de do baba time. Ooh way way, ooh way way. *gurgle*

A bay ty. Wha?

Thank you Scarly for that...wonderful...and charming...interview. Yes you can go play with the dora toys now.

Whew, now that thats over I can officially catch up on my 836 blogs that I haven't barely read in a week. Or i could just go outside...and do something since its actually warm out.

Poppin Blooms...not really

I didn't think I would be able to post today since our internet was down for hours and hours (literally like 4 whole hours) but its back thank goodness. I mean I had 24 whole emails to read, how do you think makes me feel? No different then usual as none of them were life changing unless you count mother day sales that I don't take advantage of. Anyway, if any of you were wondering about the results of the soccer tournament this weekend...we got first place! I actually scored like 2-3 minutes into the game, which almost beats my record for fastest goal scoring in a game. And combining all my goals from Saturday and Sunday I scored 7 and got 3 assists. But...picture time.

Then last night (Monday) I had a another game that we won (we won, but it was nothing close to pretty soccer) and after the game I jumped as high as I possibly could to get some of these blooms off a tree so I could take pictures for today. I actually had my little sister write POP on my hand in sharpie so I could remember to take pictures for the prompt, and I think this is POP worthy so yay! Oh and no I have no idea what kind of tree these are from.

Some of you may know that I am going on a mini vacation for the rest of the week (we won a two night stay at a huge water park/hotel!) but I plan on scheduling a post for tomorrow and Friday. On Thursday I really suggest you come by 'cause I have a special guest post lined up :)

Tree Buds

Hello people! Since the prompt for Texture Tuesday is wise words I was contemplating being really sarcastic and saying things like "When using a hammer, don't hammer the nail through you're hand" and stuff like that and I actually still really want to so that is what I am doing. If you don't like it...well then go use that hammer (I'M KIDDING, jeez.).

Something you should not do when babysitting a toddler is leave her alone for more then 10 seconds. If your toddler is anything like the one I am babysitting as soon as you leave she will tear stuff apart. But I personally find it so cute when she shrieks with glee over throwing things everywhere that I just let her do it and then clean it up.

Textured with Kim Klassen's Sybil and Nested

Something you should do when you realize you don't have pictures for todays post is to have your sister take them for you because the lady you are babysitting for is waiting outside in the driveway so you don't have time to take them (I actually did try taking the pictures myself but my sisters camera doesn't like me and didn't work so I had her do it and then email me the pictures.).

Textured with Kim Klassen's Sybil

Another thing you should do when babysitting is take them to the park in almost 80 degree weather (or not) so she can play play play and then come home and take a nap because she is so tired.

I hope you enjoyed my wise words! Or not!

*All photos in this post were taken my sister with her beautiful fancy-shmancy DSLR that I like to borrow all the time*

Twisty Oak

Hello hello! OH my goodness yesterday was SO nice (finally!)! It got up into the very low 60's and even though the sun barely peeked out it was glorious outside. We actually got to the point where we were wearing shorts and tank tops and flip flops like it was actually summer, even though it really isn't yet. Then here we are on Tuesday and it is supposed the rain (maybe even a little snow :O) here and there and is in the low 40's. But then... *drum roll........* starting tomorrow, we will have:

AHH, it is a miracle! We are officially like coming out of the cold grey stone age or something. But anyway, picture time from sunny Saturday...

I think oaks may be my favorite kind of tree, all cool and twisty and huge. I kind of see it like a halloween tree like its going to come to life and scare little kids (okay okay sorry for the image!)? But anyway, I could probably take like a million pictures of this kind of tree :)

Texture Tuesday

This week my celebration was that we had a sunny day for the first time in over a week! We were literally cooped up inside because of rain and ugly clouds. It was icky outside! So to celebrate I scooped some poo (some neighbors horses were naughty!) and went and took lots of pictures of the only green around here, the pine trees. Take a look!

Textured with Kim's Sybil and Nancy's nc_Jo

You can see in the background that there is green and blue! Yay for some color!

Texture Wednesday

So it has been raining for the past couple days, it sucks. Everyone is cooped up inside with cabin fever driving each other crazy. Especially us girls being loud and slightly obnoxious. Then last night we get an ice storm it is really cool yet not good because everything is coated in ice and looks totally cool and makes for some awesome pictures (come back tomorrow to see them!) but trees are falling over which is not too awesome. But anyway, here are some textured photos!

Pastel Texture Tuesday

Hello all! If you haven't read my Sunday post yet I would really appreciate it if you did...

On another note, how was your Easter?? I as usual ate to much candy. For the last couple years my mom has been putting out candy in those really big yogurt containers and then myd ad hides them in really hard to find spots. This year mine was in the vacuum. It was squeezed in there so tight that when I finally managed to open it my candy exploded out and was all over the place. I still ate it.

Dreary Grey

This isn't actually what it looks outside but I fell like it is. We got almost half a foot of snow yesterday, and now the wind is so strong it is just blowing the the snow around again so we have to shovel over and over.. Also I am 99.9% sure that we wont have a bunch of flowers let alone a single flower by next week, so I will be taking a trip to the store to buy some flowers so I can participate in Texture Tuesday once again next week :)

So, here is my halloween-y looking photo for today.

Spring o spring, wherefore art thou?

Texture Tuesday...

Hello! I hit 80 followers today, thank you so much to my new and older followers!

If you haven't already I would love for you to link up with Inspired Tuesday Week 5.

And I do hope you will come back tomorrow for not one, but two recipes! Anywho, on to the picture!

I needed a little spring today, so this is from my archives, spring last year. This is just what I want to see when I look outside. What I am really seeing in cold weather with some snow, ick.

Trying Out Tea...

So, tea. When I was little I would drink tea even though I really didn't like it 'cause I thought it made me so cool to drink tea.

Eventually I got some sense knocked into me and decided that since I didn't like I shouldn't drink it :P

Anyway, recently seeing all of Kim Klassen's awesome tea photos has officially inspired me to try tea again!

Herb teas in general, and my mom brought home a box of assorted herb teas for me the other day! There are 6 different flavors:

Pomegranate Pizzazz ~ sweet & tart taste of pomegranate

I Love Lemon ~ Refreshing blend with lots of lemon

Mint Medley ~ Blend of cool garden spearmint & peppermint

Orange & Spice ~ A zesty blend of orange and spice

Cozy Chamomile ~ Calming chamomile for quiet moments

Sweet Dreams ~ Relaxing blend of chamomile & mint

And I admit I am a little timid to try a few of them (I have never liked trying new things), but I will try them all eventually.

I have already tried the mint medley and I thought it tasted like the dentist. So I think I just have to get used to the taste.

Textured with Kim Klassen's Daisy and Isobel.

My question for today is do you like tea?

If so, do you have a favorite kind?

Golden

Hello! So today I used Kim's tutorial on how to add a soft gradient color. And I found it so easy and am looking forward to using it again!

I once again found myself brave enough to have a photo shoot with Dixie. Until she scratched me, then I left because I am so not going to be nice if you are going to claw me

(which I don't like). But I definitely got some good photos (which is all that matters right? :P)! I also just realized that I shared a photo of her exactly one week ago...

I used Kim Klassen's texture Sybil from the Downton Collection

Kitty Silhouette

Hola, so now post yesterday. I felt icky all day, and have since Friday. And I actually took a nap, which I haven't done in years.

Then I went and played in a soccer tournament. I really did not feel up for it but I'm not the kind of person to miss a tournament (or any game for that matter). We had 2 games, the last game decided if we made it to the championship or not, end score was 4-3 and we lost. I scored to of the goals and got an assist. Okay, picture time.

So Dixie is a very affectionate cat, and believe it or not it gets super annoying. And she stares at you, and literally will not look away as if we are having a staring contest.

So, do you have cats? If so, do they do something that gets to be very annoying?

Texture used is Sybil from The Downton Collection.

The Love Edition

Hola! This week Texture Tuesday's theme is Love. And I wanted to share a picture of something that I love.

Sunsets!

I love sunsets, like a lot. Lately we haven't had any really colorful sunsets so tonight I was really excited to finally have one. I'm calling this one fire and ice.

I used Kim's texture Havana

And this doesn't really have anything to do with the post but I wanted to show you all how much ice there is all over the place. On Sunday everything melted and then froze and so now there is tons of ice.

And okay I actually like ice 'cause its fun to slip and slide on on.
