It’s the end of the dance semester so that means it was time for Winter Showcase. This year, Gabbie danced 4 times – Tap, Ballet, Jazz, and Lyrical. I always enjoy seeing the show and of course, trying to get pictures of Gabbie dancing. I’m not entirely thrilled with the way my lens performed, so now I will probably stick with the one I usually use for these performances when Gabbie dances in the Competition Showcase in January!
View PostIt’s been awhile since I shared the pictures I took while trying to find a submission for 52 Frames. Last week’s theme was “abstract,” and I ended up taking a lot of different pictures, so I thought I might as well share them here!
View PostThis month’s theme for 10 on the 10th hosted by Whitney at The Perfectly Imperfect Mama is 10 Favorite Pictures of 2019. This yearly wrap up of pictures is always hard for me, because I take so many pictures! My favorites from the year are a mix of good photography and good memories.
View PostGabbie is the baker in our house and she usually searches for recipes, tells me what to buy, and does most everything on her own. For Thanksgiving, she made some Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls for us to eat while watching the parade. She had a bunch of leftover pumpkin though, and I decided to use it up! I was recently sent a variety of European Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a variety of flavors along with a selection of recipes and I realized one of the recipes was for a dessert. Normally I would not think of using EVOO in a dessert recipe and in fact, Gabbie feels that she messed up a recipe once by doing so! However, I did a search for pumpkin muffins made with olive oil and there are a lot of them out there! I chose to follow a recipe from Cookie and Kate.
View PostIt’s time for my monthly book review post! These are the books that I finished in November. I had thought I was having a slow reading month, but I actually finished 20 books. The problem was that most of them were just so-so. In any case, I’m happy to share them here! I will be linking up this post with the Show Us Your Books Link Up, and as always, the Amazon links to the books I’ve read are affiliate links and if you use them and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission. If you’ve read any of these books or are interested in them, I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
