Photo’s On Canvas! My FAVORITE Way To Decorate
If you know me via the Internet or in real life, you KNOW I love taking pictures. I love to decorate with my photographs on canvas. I would say 99% of the art in my home consists of photos I’ve taken. There is Idaho and of course family photos. If you follow me on Instagram (no?? Why not? I’m funny! But, mostly my view is spectacular! AND there’s a DOG!!) I’ve taken so many photos from my deck that over looks Lake Ponderay. This view! I STILL can’t believe I live here! No matter how many pictures I take of this view each one is different. Then the wildlife! Oh…

Trail Cam Friday August 21, 2020
Yes, Trail Cam Friday is a little late. I forgot to grab the sticks out of the cameras last night…. and well, you’ve seen my YARD!! I’m not going out there in the dark. Nope, nope.

Trail Cam Friday 8/14/2020
First a shout out to Miss Barbra!! Happy BIRTHDAY!!! Now, on to the photo’s. I thought I would start with the new Trail Cam from Coolife. I’m impressed with the pictures! The spot is pretty good too. Apparently it’s a deer only path because that is ALL this camera picked up. But it picked up a couple great shots of the fawn! The second trail cam is set up on the side of the house pointing down toward the lake. This camera I hadn’t checked in quite a long time. This one picked up turkeys the most, followed by our girl Bear, a real bear, some deer and a mystery dog.…

Mazda5 Grand Touring Wrap UP!
I had the ultimate pleasure of driving a Mazda5 Grand Touring to Yosemite. The Mazda5 is a true delight to drive!! The car drives smoothly! The handling is amazing. It drives like a small car with all the features of a large family car. The greatest feature for me? 25.5 miles per gallon MOUNTAIN driving!! That’s OUTSTANDING!! I love the amount of room in this car!! 3 rows of seating!! We took the Mazda5 on our day trips, 4 adults and a toddler in a carseat and still room in the back for picnic lunch, stroller and day packs! More to love:Sunroof. Double Sliding Doors (the greatest invention ever!!) EASY…

Yosemite! The perfect place to camp!
Yosemite in May is spectacular!! I wanted to share some of my pictures! We drove the Mazda5 packed to the gills! Traveling with a two year old means we took a LOT more than last years camping trip! Diane, you asked if I meant camping as in ……. sleeping bag…. tent…. yup!! We do cheat a little and use air mattresses. Let me tell you what!! I was so thankful to DH for the new sleeping bag he bought me for Mother’s Day!! I was toasty warm!! It was FREEZING at night!! Camping with a toddler also means you have to ignore the dirt……… a LOT of dirt! I want…

Mazda5 Grand Touring and Yosemite
Driving to Yosemite in the Mazda5 was a dream!! The car hugs the road. Hauls a ton of camping supplies. Has a ton of added amenities, hook up for your iPad or iPhone. SWEET!!! 2 charging ports. One in the very back of the Mazda5. The charging port in the back was really HANDY when I wasn’t driving I could still charge my phone. The Mazda5 Grand Touring has hidden compartments under the middle row of seats. Lift up the seat cushion and there is room for a purse, iPad and phone. (On each side!) Note to self…. be sure and empty the compartment before you install the babies car…

Mazda5 Grand Touring is great for camping!!
I had the GREAT pleasure of driving a Mazda5 to Yosemite for a week. HOLY MOLY!!! First, for mountain driving I have to say this Mazda5 ROCKS!!! Driving up a MOUNTAIN and I averaged 25.5 miles per gallon!! I am so relaxed and rejuvenated from my trip!! Look at that view!! Wouldn’t you be too? Check back this week for more information and photo’s of the Mazda5! Disclosure I received a complimentary week driving the Mazda5 for the purpose of my review. (They aren’t letting me keep this one either I checked AGAIN!!) No other compensation was provided. The opinions are mine and 100% honest. I have not been influenced in any way.

I’m home!! I’m home!!
Yosemite was fantastic!! Although updates did not happen because I had no service at all. Which, at first, was very nail biting nervous for me……. but, then I relaxed. I have some amazing photo’s to share and some reviews coming up.I also have a post coming up about taking a 2 year old camping. I have some hints and tips that worked really well. I also have a post coming up of favorite products that I will never camp without again!! Right now, I’m soaking my feet, answering emails, pulling some winners and getting back into the swing of things. For now, here is a shot from Mirror Lake. Isn’t…
