Living, Learning, Laughing. Sharing pictures along the way.
We’re on vacation in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina this week, and I’m not going to use my camera. Did I just make you gasp? I’m sure that statement could be a little misleading, let me explain to you exactly what I […]
Aahhh….. sweet summer. We all love summer. Kids are out of school, the weather is amazing, daylight lasts until nearly 10 pm. (At least here in Columbia, South Carolina) We’re not rushing from one place to the next, life has slowed down just a little, […]
School’s out for summer! Now what? I’ve put together a list of local OUTDOOR activities in Columbia, South Carolina, that you’re going to want to do with your family this summer. 1. Riverbanks Zoo, Garden, and Waterfall Junction I’ve heard it said more […]
Hey, girl. Yes, I’m talking to you. Sitting there with your hair in a messy bun and possibly yesterday’s makeup, I see you. I want to have a little chat with you, about the mom selfie. We have a lot in common, you […]

HI. My name is Carrie and I’m an addict. I’m addicted to taking photos. It’s been…….. 2 hours since my last click. I fell in love with the idea of photography right before digital cameras became a thing. It’s hard to believe that just around […]

Hey y'all! I'm Carrie, and I'd like to welcome you to my blog! It's my little corner of the world wide web where I get to tell you about all the exciting things we do in our homeschool and ramble here and there on being a mother. Yes, these ARE my monkeys and I've come to terms with this being our real life circus. I hope to inspire you, encourage you, but most of all, I hope I can make you laugh, even if only just a giggle.
