Swan Park

So we didn't stay long at Swan Park because the little one's were cold, but I will go back and do more practicing with my camera! Here's some of the shots I did get while we were there!









I feel like my camera is taking square pictures? Still need to work on that...but loving it so far :)

Stay tuned...

Be prepared for lots more posts coming soon. Josh bought me a new camera for my birthday so there's going to be lots of playing around to figure it out. Probably going to the Arboretum and to see the Swans soon so, maybe Meg will not be mad at me for a while ;)

New Years Goals

I don't make resolutions. But I do write down plans for the year...Last year I started a reading goal. I planned to read 30 books for the year. I had never really counted how much I read and I was curious...I hit 36 this year! For 2015 I saw a Reading Bingo board on Pinterest that sounded like fun. So I am shooting for Coverall on my Reading Bingo...and maybe two different boards if I finish one fast. Which got me thinking that it would be fun to run a contest with my Little Free Library friends! So starting Jan. 1st I invited people to print a board and join me playing Bingo. Here are my first three winners...look familiar?



There are boards on Pinterest for all age levels. The kids boards include things like, read in a tent, read with a flashlight, read to someone who can't read, read a book and give it a new title. Some of these kiddos are going for coverall too...we will see how long THAT takes, but it's motivating them to read and that's what counts!
