This is such an adorable book that all my grandchildren enjoy!

In “Joey Visits Grandpa,” author Patricia Nichvolodoff tells a humorous and cheerful story about the special relationship between Joey and his grandfather.

My Little Sophie and the Camera

Posted on

Pictures of the family are always welcomed.  However, I usual am the picture taker, and I am usually the one who is not in them.

This particular family gathering the picture taker was my little Sophie.  We had no idea that my little Sophie was taking snap shots of us.   Sophie used my i-phone 6 to take her pictures. I-phone cameras are sneaky cameras. No flashing, no clicking sound, nothing that would give us a hint that she was photographing a moment.

And photographing an up close, in your face, moment of us.

 IMG_4175  I do love the close up shots of Christian.  He was eating pistachio nuts from a glass jar.   Sneaky up on  Christian is not an easy thing to do.  He did catch his sister taking his picture, and gave a  happy surprised smile.IMG_4176

As for daddy.  It appears that daddy had no clue that he was being snapped shot.  He was focused on his meal.  Never giving a hint, to the camera, that he was a willing subject.IMG_4174110203

Then there was my close up!  Who  was I talking to?  When I came across my pictures, I thought, delete!   But then I realized that these pictures were  special shots.  See it’s not everyday my granddaughter takes pictures of me.  Seriously, she never takes a picture of me, or with me, unless I force her.  So for her to take these pictures of me so willing, without any coaxing, was special to me.

Now my little Sophie can play candid camera as much as her little heart desires.

Vega Protein Smoothie #BestLifeProject

Smoothies are not usually my cup of tea.  I hate to have to take out the blender and begin to create a smoothie that I will drink up in less than a minute.  Until!  Until  I was introduced to Vega Protein Smoothie.  Vega Protein Smoothie is not only a protein BOOST, it is also a no blender required smoothie.  That is if you don’t want to use a blender.

Vega is a smoothie that is easy to create.  One scoop of Vega, in the protein shaker ,along with one cup of cold water is all I needed.  Easy, fast, and super healthy.

Gifts Of The Crysnix by Lisa Shore #bookworm #modernfairytales #Believe

crysnix

One rainy night many years ago, Lisa Shore was tucking her daughters in while the wind thrashed outside the window and the rain pitter-pattered on the roof over their heads.She then told a story about magical fairies who only came out when it rained and danced on the roofs of the humans who lived at the edge of the forest. Their names were Pitter and Patter and they granted wishes if a human saw them. After her daughters fell asleep that night, Shore wrote down the idea and ultimately turned it into her new book, “Gifts of the Crysnix”.  (Perfect for middle grade and older)
