The Saturday Six

One.

I'm SUCH A SUCKER for videos like this one. Military reunions = instant tears. It's less than two minutes long, but I bet you anything you'll cry.

Two.


Christmas is over now, but there are always birthdays to consider...and if you need a birthday idea for a kiddo in your life, check out this idea to make a personalized coloring book using pictures of the kiddo you're giving the gift to! 

Three.

I've pretty much entirely replaced sour cream with yogurt in my world. And for Christmas Day at one of Ryan's family gatherings, we were in charge of the relish tray, so along with it, we took this cucumber dill yogurt dip...and we LOVED it. So if you like dill and saving fat grams, check it out!

Four.

And speaking of Christmas appetizers - check out this cheeseball that my internet-less, Pinterest-less mother made for our lunch! I was so stinkin' proud of her!!

Five.


I've talked before about my friend Brent, who is a singer and ventriloquist and now a children's author. This month he had a party with one of his book characters come to life, which I think is REALLY cool...and the photos for the party were taken by a guy who was a student at IWU when I worked there! So I think this is pretty cool.

Six.

And speaking of photography...this blog post is pretty cool...offers some prompts for being consistent and improving in your picture taking skills! If you're looking for some hints for the new year, check it out!

I love the photo blog. I'm definitely going to be checking it out because I was thinking of doing a Project 365 this year.

Also I love your mom's creativity with her appetizer! I'm impressed!

Natasha - I'm still trying to figure out my 2014 photo project, but I got some good tips from that one! :)
