“If thou tastest a crust of bread, thou tastest all the stars and all the heavens.” —Robert Browning
It was a Day I’ll Never Forget
The sun was bright in the blue-blue sky that day. It was Happy Hour at Sonic and I was sipping on a Diet Cherry Limeade. My camera was beside me housed in my dearest Lola. And there my smiling, happy boy sat, guzzling his lemonade diagonally behind me.
“We’re gonna go to the lake, Mama!” I endearingly exclaimed to Davey.
“The leeeeek?” he asked.
“Yes, the lake, baby,” I confirmed.
Waiting at the stop light, I was thrilled at the idea of David seeing the lake. He was all GQ in jeans and a polo shirt, and I knew that any moments captured would be a treasure!
We got there, I took off his sneakers, rolled up his jeans, and we headed for the shore.
“The leeeeeek, Mama! The leeeeeeeek!” he exclaimed.
I took a bunch of pictures before Davey ran into the lake, forcing me in my long, white skirt to get in almost waist deep to ensure he did not fall under.
This is what I love about photography. How our daily lives are documented and how it’s becoming something that the kids will be able to look back upon with their own families in the (very) distant future. I plan on making some hard bound books for them someday, but in the meantime I keep clicking and preserving our memories.
I have also made a vow to hang more pictures on our walls.
So, when I was contacted by Canvas Press to do a review for them, I knew from exactly which set of pictures I would be picking from.
This is what I chose:
The print is BEAUTIFUL! The quality is out-of-this world and I would (without a doubt) recommend Canvas Press. It’s a highly impressive piece of art.
I was so excited when they also said that I could give-a-way a print, just like mine, to one of my readers!
One lucky reader will win a 16×20 Canvas Print from Canvas Press.
All you have to do is comment.

It’s that simple.
The winner will be announced on my birthday…. Sunday, May 16th
GOOD LUCK!

Daily Cup of Love Winner!
Michelle Smiles!
She said, “That looks like a nifty little machine.
I’m weird. I make my coffee strong – hair on your chest strong – and then put lots of milk and a little sweetener in it.”
Enjoy your Tassimo T65, Michelle.
You can’t get this in a card, a box of chocolates, or bouquet of flowers…
Yesterday, Mother’s Day, the kids and I went to Ruby Tuesday for lunch. My mission was to get fatstuffedfull on the salad bar. Mission accomplished!
On the way home Davey exclaimed, “I don’t wanna go home!”
I asked him, knowing the answer, “Where do you wanna go?”
He quickly responded, “My park!”
“Ok,” I said, “but first Mama’s gotta go pee-pee at the house.”
Upon pulling into our driveway I spotted the kids across the street.
{Light bulb moment}
Why not ask the parents if their kids could come with us?
So, I did. And, they did.
Afterward we stopped at the grocery store and I bought some ice cream to treat the kids to, at home.
Messy, sticky, big laughter, and playing.
It was Mother’s Day.
Return the Love Gift Card Winners!
Congrats to Tonya Dean, Sprittibee, Dawn Camp, Miss Ash, and Doll Clothes Gal Pal!
