Adventure Thursday :: Chapel Street with snakes, good friends and a Valco stroller

sesame — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 05:07:20 +0000

Another great Adventure Thursday…this time to Chapel Street. Thank goodness I have my Valco Evo2 for two stroller or I would never be able to face the world with these guys…they need the respite of a stroller still and so do I. It is an amazing and strong little pusher…the only one we have now. I am going to review it, but if you are in the market now, go check it out.

Thanks goodness also for good friends and thrift store snakes.

I love seeing them so happy.

*I edited these as I was working on some new actions, but they will be on hold now for a bit…I will be swapping out the black and white one I have for free download on my Facebook page with one of the color ones here soon. We are starting out with a new system over there for fan page extras from Ripe Social and we will be having a great offer from them for all my readers! Join us on the Facebook page to be the first to hear all about it!

Dusk in our house is beautiful light.

more magic and wonderment in my own backyard with these guys. just 18 sleeps, little ones. the boy journals his backyard adventures in grass-stained hand prints.

Will try to blog from the road using the new tablet!

i know there are a lot of you out there who have had great success with your own project. please, leave me links so i can get even more inspired! we have olives, now to fill the space they ring with some raised beds. i plan on drawing the line at chickens, i really do.
