10 things that you may or may not know about me

You May or May Not Know That...

1. My birthday was on May 7th.  It was such a good day filled with antique shopping, "happy birthday" calls, making food (My meal was pretty amazing, if I do say myself), opening gifts all through the day, eating, and watching a movie.  Yes, it was a good day. *smile*

2.  I have a deep love for donuts.  I think they are petty amazingly wonderful. Oh, and just to put you straight, glaze is the best. ;)  One sad and almost embarrassing thing is, that I've never made donuts.  You would think with how much I love to bake and how much I love donuts that I would make all homemade donuts from scratch, but no...sadly...  I have made it one of my goals for this summer though, and I am determined to complete it!  Do you have any donut recipe that you would like to pass on?  They would be very much appreciated!

3.  I call my mom "moo" 90% of the time.  Yes, moo, sort of like a cow; although, to my defense, I do not extend the o's out as long as an actual cow does.  Please don't ask me how I ever started calling her "moo", because I really have no idea.

4.  I ask for beef jerky for every Christmas and birthday.  Yes, I love it that much.

5.  I like painting my nails, but I get really annoyed when it starts to chip off.

6.  I now own the whole series of I Love Lucy.  Yes, I'm very proud to say that I have all 9 season of I Love Lucy.  Oh, how I love that show. *sigh*

7.  I love looking at wedding magazines. Although, mostly just because I like looking at all the pretty photography.

8. I found kittens!!!!!!!!!!!  More on that later... :)

9.  I signed up for Bloglovin' since GFC is leaving us. :(  There is a follow button on the side if you would like to continue getting updates from this blog!

10.  I just ordered my new lens yesterday!  I'm over the moon and very anxious for its arrival... So excited to have a lens picked out after tons of research.  Now, after I get it I want to take a few more senior pictures of Isaac and Lydia, then Jordan wants me to take some family pictures of her, Noah, and Joseph.  I'm excited for all this picture-taking.

Jones Soda

Today, I would like to tell you about Jones soda (a.k.a. the greatest soda ever).  It is a soda that is made from cane sugar, so it's healthy a healthier option than all of the other sodas out there that are full of corn syrup.  Jones soda also comes in many different yummy flavors and you can even get a version of your favorite Cocoa Cola or Root Beer.  Can it get any better?  I sound like a salesman, don't I?  I'm not trying to, I'm just trying to convince you that you need to try this soda!..  Anyway, my personal favorite flavor is green apple; it has a perfect sweet and sour apple flavor that I love.  Yum, yum! :)

Have you ever heard of or tried Jones soda?  If you haven't, I highly suggest you tracking it down the next time you go to the grocery store and trying it.

P.S.  Can you believe that it is already May?  I know for me it is hard to grasp!  4 days until my birthday though! :)

Hair Accesories

Hair accessories, perfect to dress up a messy bun, a boring pony tail, or just to bring something special and new to your outfit.  I'm especially a fan of the large burettes, I love how simple and classic they look.  Oh, and don't forget the amazing turbans out there!  I have personally never tried a turban, but I love the look that they give.  Hopefully someday soon I'll try this tutorial out for them.  I would love to build up a small collection of unique hair accessories, so I'm keeping my eyes open for any little treasures. *smile*

What are your thoughts on hair accessories?  Do you have any favorites?  

P.S.  I convinced my sister-in-law to make a blog *fulfillment*.  Check it out, Home on Spring Street.

Just some photos from lately.

These calves love me, but probably just because I give them food... anyway, I still love them.

Oh, and of course I had to share this picture of my little nephew... and that blanket, I made. ;)

Silk Scarves

I recently came across this Etsy shop that sold these beautiful handmade silk scarves.  I'm a big scarf person so when I saw these, I fell in love.  I love all of the color combinations and how intricate they all look. Scarves are not all that the shop sells though, there are tons more little treasures that you'll have to check out for yourself. Enjoy!

It's beginning to look a lot like spring!

It finally looks like spring, and I'm so excited!  Spring may just be my favorite season, even though fall is a close second.  A couple nights ago, after supper,  I went outside and snapped a couple pictures to share with you.  I am also really excited because I planted a few raspberry plants last weekend.  I'm a big raspberry fan and it has always been a goal/dream of mine to have a successful little raspberry patch, so I was over the moon when a friend of mine asked if I would like some plants!  Thanks Jess!

Oh, and I'm starting the countdown until I'm done with school for the year!  Just a couple more weeks... *squeal*, *smile*, *sigh of relief*

Do you want to see how animals eat their food?

Here is a little something to brighten your Saturday.   This video, How Animals Eat Their Food, is beyond ridiculous and beyond hilarious.  I heard about it through a girl that I work with, then kept seeing it pop up everywhere online, so then I knew that I just had to watch it.  Enjoy!

Happy Saturday!  Hope it is warm and spring-like where you are!  It looks like spring here in Ohio, but it feels like winter just can't say "goodbye".
