Life In Pleasantville

Food, Travel, Life

By //  by  7 Comments

I woke up this morning to find out that I was the victim of a meme! D’oh! Anyway as it happens this little meme was a delight because it took me down memory lane and that’s always a fun trip. So I am taking part in HostelBookers 7 Super Shots because my dear friend Heather invited me to join her. Her pictures are WAY better than mine, so make sure you check them out.

A Photo….that takes my breath away

Really? This beauty came from me? I can barely believe it. Everytime I look at this picture I see her all grown up and get teary.

A Photo….that makes me laugh of smile

I surprised them with a trip to Disney. Girls only. They were like this the whole time. Good as gold. Love.

A Photo….that makes me dream

While in Jamaica we visited a school. This picture was taken 5 minutes after we arrived. I dream of a better future for our children when I see this.

A Photo….that makes me think

9/11 was a defining moment in so many of our lives. Visiting the site chilled me. Such heartache, horror, heroes and profound loss.

A Photo….that makes my mouth water

Now THAT’s a paella! Walking around Old San Juan, Puerto Rico made me happy and hungry.

A Photo….that tells a story

My youngest daughter has an intense love of animals. We’re convinced it will be her life’s work. Behold! The Mouse Whisperer.

A Photo….I am most proud of (National Georgraphic Worthy)

This was hard because I have a picture of a sunset in the Keys I’m pretty sure National Geographic would want but alas, this won out. Pure Canadian splendour, the fall colours in Gatineau Park.

And now for my meme victims. Mwahahahahaha. I’m going to call on a couple of new bloggers I think you should take the time to know:

Jack Straw Lane follow her @jackstrawlane

The Space Between Raindrops follow her @micheskitchen

And three “older” bloggers I think will have some incredible pictures to share:

Postcards from The Mothership follow her @danigirl

PhD In Parenting follow her @phdinparenting

CL Buchanan Photography follow her @clbuchanan

You can find all the guidelines here for your post ladies. *laughing maniacally*

    Hard not to love the one of the school in Jamaica. I could instantly imagine one girl simply approaching the other and just wanting to play in that particular “we’re just kids, we like to play. Easy.” way. Don’t know if that’s -exactly- how it went of course, but that’s what I imagine. 🙂

    The Disney one doesn’t need to be a technically ‘great’ shot for it to be simply wonderful. Can’t wait to see how my children will be as siblings (second is on the way…).

      Actually Greg, that’s pretty much how it happened in Jamaica. Made my heart melt. Children have such pure hearts.

      I questioned putting the Disney one in. It was taken with my phone, the lighting is bad, it’s a little blurry and yet love just ooozes out of it. Congrats on your second. You’ll revel in the moments when they bond like that.
