64/365.2011 {Beloved Ladybug Pen}

Posted on March 5, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

This is a pre-scheduled post, since I’m away at Walk to Emmaus.

This is one of my favorite pens which was a gift from someone. Honestly, I can’t remember who gave it to me (SO not like me to not remember who gave me a gift, especially something so beautiful and something that is so beloved.) I always thought it was so pretty and when I got a case for my bible where I could keep pens, I decided this was a perfect pen to keep in there. It makes me happy every time I see it. It no longer works, but I still keep it in my bible.

Posted on March 2, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

Today around 4:30, I’m leaving to go on my Walk to Emmaus. I will be free of cell phones, a watch, the time (period), my camera, my laptop, any electronics. I will return Saturday night. A few weeks ago when I found out that I was going, I went ahead and scheduled my posts for while I’m gone, so show me some love while I’m gone! 🙂

53/365.2011 {Hug a Tree}

Posted on February 22, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

I am not by any stretch of the imagination a “Tree Hugger,” but I do appreciate and am thankful for all things that Mother Nature provides. Due to the recent situation with the trees at Toomer’s Corner, I have a different perspective of nature and a new appreciation for it.

51/365.2011 {Swing-N-a-Miss}

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

Today our family played a switcheroo. What I mean by that is Teenager has been gone all weekend with his Boy Scout Troop for their monthly camp out. This morning Rob and Monkey got up and headed down to Mobile to meet up with the rest of the Cub Scout Pack so that they can spend the night on the USS Alabama! So they left around 8:30 and around 10:30 Teenager got home. Teenager and I really enjoyed are day together. Hanging out and then later in the afternoon we went over to the ballpark to watch the Tigers play. He missed the 1st two games since he was camping. I’m not great at Baseball action shots. I don’t go to many of the games like Rob and Teenager do, so I don’t get the practice that I would need to get really good at it. I got a few over the weekend that I liked. Here’s one.

I think this must have been a swing and miss!

50/365.2011 {At the Ballpark}

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Magnolia Mom


Monkey, Rob, and I went out to the ballpark today for the Auburn baseball game. For those of you who know Rob, you know that Plainsman Park is his 2nd home 3 months out of the year. It is a beautiful place.

As you see I had Monkey “reenact” for me a picture I took 5 years ago!
