a date night...via instagram

Eric and instagram. 

He always knew I took photos and posted them on Instagram but that was the extent of it. Finally on our date night...I showed him the app and how it works.

So while we are sitting outside at the wine bar drinking our wine and Eric smoking his cigar...
Eric starts to really get into instagram. "oh here...let me pose my cigar. Take a photo and post it on instagram." 

hehehehe...

have a great day ladies!

Another fun way to connect to bloggers! Everyone loves mail right?! So she came up with the idea for a postcard exchange...   How it works
1. You will have 1 week to sign up.
2. She will then pair you with another blogger.
3. Once paired you will contact your partner and get an address.
4. Buy a postcard to send.  Write a note, a quote, draw a picture or something to share with your partner, or even put it in an envelope with some candy (heehee).
5.  Once partners are announced you will have till a certain date to mail out your postcard that Elizabeth will mention in the email when she pairs you up.
6. Everyone will blog about their postcard on Aug 31st, then come link up on either mine or Elizabeth's blog for everyone to see what you got and from where!   Sign up below!!   hope y'all have an excellent day!! xoxo manda
