Tickle Me Tuesday

It's Tuesday and that means I'm joining Yes, Teacher! for Tickle Me Tuesday.  This is the day we share what has been tickling our fancy!

First is this apron that my granddaughter, Shylee, finger painted (with the help of mommy) and gave me for Mother's Day.  I love those little hand prints!

And then there are the Godiva Chocolates my daughter, Erin, gave me.  They melted before I got them home to take pictures, but each piece is made of milk chocolate 'clam' shells with a ball of hazelnut chocolate cream in the center.  Think Nutella sandwiched by milk chocolate!  It's chocolate heaven!

And to follow up on last week's post, I found the two flavors of Newtons cookies I was looking for.  The fig and honey tasted like graham crackers and the chocolate raspberry was just divine...my absolute favorite of the four!

What tickles your fancy?  Head over to Yes, Teacher!  and share!!

Happy Mother's Day

Wishing all the Moms a very happy day!!!

XOXOXO

Mish Mash Monday

It's May 10 and I had to turn on the heater this morning to get the chill out of the house!  It really feels like fall after having 90 degree weather last week. 

I had a wonderful Mother's Day and I hope you did too if you're a mom!  We spent the day at Sotterly Plantation, a local National Historic Landmark located on the picturesque Patuxent River.  I'm trying hard to learn how to take better photos and I knew this would be the perfect place to work on my skills. These are some of the photos I took beginning with my beautiful daughter and handsome son!

I was so excited to learn I had won a giveaway from Pinks and Needles and even more excited when my adorable pincushion and needles arrived.  I wish I had taken a picture of the beautiful packaging but I was just too eager not to tear into it!

An update on my dad.  The doctors removed the cancerous tumor from his bladder and it was in the very early stages.  He does not have to have any radiation or chemo treatments, just a check up every 3 months.  We're so relieved and happy and thankful for such a positive outcome!  Thank you to all of you for your encouragement and prayers!

Be sure to check back here tomorrow.  I just might have a giveaway announcement....

Happy Mother's Day
