Love these photos so much I had to share. You can read the story behind it on my other blog, Living Intentionally Simple. But this is the 1st time I’ve had good Christmas tree pics. I can never get the lighting the way I want it.
A few weekends ago, our local elementary school held an ice cream social as a way to build more community within our school. Our elementary school, seems to have lost a lot of the community it once had within it and there is a bunch of us trying hard to get it back for our children. We figured an ice cream social is a way for us to come together as well as a way for children to meet & play with other children they normally wouldn’t. Plus, incoming Kindergarteners were invited, some meeting children they will be in class with in the fall.
Beside ice cream sundaes we had airplane making station which you could race them in different hoops, sack races, bubble….hula hoops….& ball station. The coolest thing was the banner station though, where we wrote welcome back and each kid & adult could add their handprints and/or a nice design to it, which will greet them in the fall. Here’s some images that highlight this fun event…..
What does your school do for community building?

We all have seen photos that use object shapes for different letters of the alphabet. Here’s what I found yesterday when looking for the letter J.
Have you done the alphabet photography challenge before? Was it hard? Any tips?

Last summer when we went camping at our favorite spot, we noticed they had their own fairy land which included: fairies, houses, & a neat path to follow to find the fairies. The girls and I went on this a few times, which they thought was neat. Something we don’t see every day.

Meet the fairy
Do you have a place like this where you live? Or have you made your own fairy house?

There’s nothing like working with your hands to create a masterpiece. The feeling of accomplishment and pride is awesome. No matter what you are making, what skill level you are at, how old you are, or what your medium is……..anything you are proud of that you worked hard to make is a masterpiece. For my girls & their best friend, it was their spring flower ornaments but for me it was getting the angle I wanted in these pics, to tell a certain story.
Created any masterpieces of your own lately?

Beaver Brook Association in Hollis New Hampshire is a fantastic place, I just happened to hear about last year. The place is amazing & we love visiting it as much as we can. They have numerous trails, activities, & events like fitness hikes & summer camps. Each year they host an egg hunt along one of their short trails. They guarantee every kid will get 10-12 eggs, which are filled with little candies, stickers, or small treats. You get some really great pics plus the kids get to have some fun. We all had a blast and we couldn’t wait to do it this year. Sadly, due to all the snow we have gotten, they had to cancel it. Since it was supposed to be today, I decided to share our pics from last year. If your local, check them out at Beaver Brook.
And once we finished I went to a broken down bridge I love and took a few more pics….

For my oldest son’s 16th birthday, my father & step mom took us out to the Budweiser company to see the Clydesdales & tour the facility. It was much more fun than we all originally thought.
And then we headed to Red Robin to finish the day off with some good food & birthday singing. It was a fun simple way to celebrate Tony’s birthday.
