Good mornin' friends! How are you girlies?? Is anyone out there....tap, tap, tap on the microphone;) Have you guys noticed how quiet it is in blogland lately? Is everyone just on Instagram or busy running through sprinklers or WHAT!? Geesh if you can blog regularly during the Summer I think you deserve an Olympic medal...I'm just sayin'! Okay so I've had a little excitement lately I thought I'd share with ya'll.
A few months ago I got a random email from an editor at Artful Blogging. They wanted to do a feature...on Farmgirl Paints!!! EEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!! To say I was excited and surprised was an understatement. I've always LOVED that magazine...drooled over the beautiful pics and artsy layouts. I have to admit I kind of daydreamed of seeing my own blog in there, but didn't really think it would ever happen. I mean I talk about my
So with the seed of excitement planted I painstakingly submitted my photos and nervously wrote my article...butterflies in full frenzy, and then waited and waited for what seemed like forever. It finally came out yesterday! You would think I'd be jumping around totally thrilled...and I am...but I'm also feeling really nervous. For some reaon I feel totally OUT THERE. I know I write here, but it feels safe and small. This is in PRINT! It's in a store!!! I feel completely spotlighted even though I'm really not. Am I a nut or what? Seriously I could not handle being famous;) It would do me in! Oh the scrutiny, the attention...the judgement of strangers!!
Anyway to celebrate I got a few extra copies just for you. Leave me a comment telling me your favorite part of summer so far, and I'll throw your name in the pot:)
Have a blessed day.
695. in-laws are coming today

697. and lots of fun fieldtrips
698. and games and more games
699. oh and ARTFUL BLOGGING liked me;) YAY!!

ReplyDeletefavorite summer memory so far?
several..
watching lydia learn to stunt in the pool with hubby...
having dear friends visit for a week back in july....
summer meals at my parents' house....
hiking and swimming!!!
I hate to break it to you - you kind of are famous! Congratulations to you - well deserved. Yes, blogging in summer is tough! I am not doing well - And speaking of summer, why does it seem to be going so fast???? I would say my favorite part has been our road trip to Colorado.
ReplyDeletexo~Jill
Congratulations! How exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. I have never heard of the magazine so I would love a copy. I love reading your blog whenever you post though I rarely comment.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about summer is having all my chicks and roosters under one roof. Love the slow and lazy days.
Congratulations. How awesome. As for summer, my favorite has been all the time I've gotten to spend with my grandkids, since I recently retired. Especially a week on the Gulf with my soon to be 16 year old granddaughter who still found time in her busy schedule to spend with me. ;-) Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you! I want to win - you know it's a good magazine when it's that expensive - LOL. I always buy it anyway because I love it. My favorite part of summer is the BEACH. Congrats again - always knew you were gonna be a rock star :) happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Becky!! What an honor! I do know what you mean about the heebie-jeebies on being "out there". Blogging has been a real lesson in word crafting and focus. I read your blog as inspiration. You have done a great job of sharing your point of view in such a unique and entertaining way. Look out, because now you may be one step closer to more attention than ever!
ReplyDeleteEEEK! You're famous! So happy for YOU! What a blessing to know that someone in the big wig world sees your talent! God is using you in big ways Miss Becky! Thank you for the opportunity to win . . . FUN!
ReplyDeleteFavorite part of summer? Playing. I love that I get to just play with my family. In fact . . . I'm off to the lake . . .
Did I mention how happy I am for you? :)
Hey~ Congrats to you! Thanks for celebrating and for being brave and saying "yes!".
ReplyDeleteYou deserve a break like this. What fun.
As for me... my summer?
So far it's been a bit busy. My five year old learned to ride a two-wheeler in just one evening and will be off to Kindergarten in the fall. My baby girl is almost a year old, as of this month, and has just learned to crawl (though I thought she was going to walk first - that's how she rolls)...and my middle daughter is well... growing up into quite the little lady. The kiddie pool sure has been getting it's work out this summer.
I'm enjoying my summer, so far.
Thanks for asking and thanks for throwing my name into the pot. I've never heard of Artful Blogging but I'm glad they liked you too! (#699);)
Congratulations, that's huge! My favorite part of summer is having so many fun options for play time with my kids! Swimming, sprinklers, sidewalk chalk (my favorite), bike rides, gardening, the list could go on....
ReplyDeleteYour published that is awesome! You are so talented Missy, it is well deserved and I can say I knew you when!
ReplyDeleteSummer is just flying by my favorite part is taking days off from work just because it seems to be easier to this in the summer
Oh wow girl! So exciting and so deserved!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about this summer so far would be the awesome new son-in-law I gained last month. :)
Congratulation, how awesome! My favorite part of summer is simply being home everyday with our boys. I love that I have my summers off and I am able to be with them everyday. I think this summer is more special because our oldest heads off to college in three weeks. We will go on a mini vacation next weekend and we will make many memories but being able to be with him daily is what I am most thankful for.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Becky!
ReplyDeleteI definitely know what you mean about the mixture of feeling excited and being "out there". That's how I felt when one of my poems was published in a poetry journal.
My favorite parts of summer so far...
God impacting my heart with scripture,
Making music,
Making memories,
And holding hands with my fellow.
Yay Becky! I am so proud of you! Your faith, art and blog are so inspiring. They made a good choice to feature you, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThis summer is whizzing by, but has been full of goodness. My favorite part have been the road trips to various antique stores around Indiana. It's becoming our family "thing" which is so fun to me. I love treasure hunts!
That's very exciting! I've never heard of that magazine before, I'll look forward to checking it out. My favorite part of summer so far was buying my first home and working hard to make it my own.
ReplyDeleteSO proud of you girl. God's just expanding your territory!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Love your blog...you completely deserve it! Best part of summer for me has been hanging out with my boys all day, everyday. I'm a teacher so I love not being so crazy busy & scheduled.
ReplyDeleteYippee!!! So excited about your accomplishment. First commetn here I think! Love your pictures and your words!
ReplyDeleteFavorite part of the summer was a family trip to Yellowstone. The beauty there was incredible. I loved every minute of sharing that beautiful place with our two sons.
Susan
Yes, blogland is super quiet this summer and I do think that Instagram has a huge influence on that.
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable in that pic and always.
Summer. It really is my least favorite season but let me choose something positive. I was able to be a part of the Lord working in the lives of 33 college students for 9 weeks on a mission trip. They grew like little weeds and God was glorified. Thankful.
First and foremost CONGRATULATIONS!
ReplyDeleteHe always knows what we need and when we need it!
My favorite part about summer is the longer days. I love how light it is all the time!
I also love the ability to go barefoot more often than not!
I hope you have a Blessed Day!
Hooray for you, Becky!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you, I can't wait to see this issue.
My fave part of Summer is having my teacher husband home to do all my honey-do chores! ;-)
XO,
Anne
Congrats! That is so awesome. My favorite part of summer so far is how lazy we have been. We have had some busy weeks, but for the most part, we sleep in later, eat meals later, and stay in our jammies some days! It's so nice to slow down and enjoy a more calm pace.
ReplyDeleteTracie
Whoo hoo! This is exciting! :)
ReplyDeleteFavourite part of summer? Tiny hands feeling dirt for the first time, two year old feet soaring through the sprinkler, sticky faces from licking freezies...the feeling that there is hope floating in the air with the summertime sunshine. The fueling up for winter ahead. Yes, the soaking up every moment because it is so fleeting.
That is sooo exciting! So happy for ya, you deserve it!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! So happy for you. What an exciting time.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of summer so far is the sunshine. I know that sounds corny, but it's true. Winters are really long and bleak where I live, so I'm always happy to step outside and catch a few rays.
~FringeGirl
I'd love a copy. You are so deserving. I hope they have a picture of your living room with the poles.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about summer? Being able to sleep in! After going back to teaching full time after 8 years as a Stay at Home momma this past year, sleeping in during the summer now has new meaning in my life:) And hey...its the little things that count the most!
ReplyDeleteWow! So exciting, and deserved. Can't wait to read the article...where is the magazine sold? If I don't end up winning one, I will need to pick one up.
ReplyDeleteWowzers! I am so happy for you, although not suprised. It is a well deserved honor, Becky! My favorite part of summer...and every summer...is no homeowrk. Seriously, I'm easy to please! Thanks for the chance to win also!
ReplyDeleteThis is cooler than cool. You are deserving....don't doubt for a moment!!!! My favorite part of summer has been being home with my kids. Sigh. Wish it could be year round. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is SO exciting!! Congrats you famous little blogger, you :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about summer so far??
1. My husband texting me today and saying we have our cabin booked to take the kids camping next week!
2. Road biking and running with friends.
3. NOT packing school lunches!
4. Staying up late with my boys.
5. My two year old wanting me to sing 'Jesus Loves Me' and 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' to her every night before bed and how she wants to tell me her favorite part of the day.
XOXO,
Angie from Ohio/angiepics on Instagram
How exciting for you! I think the best part of my summer so far has just been being able to have my husband here at home more often.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being PUBLISHED. I guess my favorite thing about this summer was seeing all 3 of my brothers, their wives and all their kids, AND my little grand-nephew. We all live pretty far from each other, so it doesn't happen very often.
ReplyDeleteI hope I win. and thanks for saying that thing about it being quiet in blogland during the summer. I thought it was me. :)
Congratulations Becky! You are beautiful (inside and out) and so is your blog. The 2 of you deserve to be featured in a book!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the summer are the days where we have nothing planned and just pick up and do fun things on the spur of the moment. Sleeping in until 9 every morning doesn't stink either :).
So excited for you Becky!! I am loving summer and not wanting it to end. The time with my kiddos, traveling and trips to the beach are what I love best! Can't wait to get the magazine and check out your article. I love that mag too! You fit right in there girl don't sell yourself short one bit. You will be loved by so many more ;)
ReplyDeletei remember looking through one probably a year ago and thought, wow. that would be super cool to be in there one day. and here you are! i feel like a proud...mom. is that weird? maybe because i'm your biggest fan. : ) my favorite part of summer?? going home!
ReplyDeleteOh Becky congrats!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting!! You totally deserve it...you are amazing and your blog is more than "artsy"! Its personal, and out there, and full of life and love and faith and joy and honesty. Love you and love your blog!
Thank you for the chance to win a copy..that would be awesome Beck.
So in answer to your question, I'd have to say (although it's so hard to chose one thing) my favourite part of summer so far is........... travelling!
To be able to NOT worry about the weather and just pick up and go on the road
and meet up with family!
One of the many joys of summer for me!
Have a great day Becky!!!!!
Love,
Deborah xoxoxooxoxox
What a sweet giveaway and a proud accommplishment for you! Yay! My favorite part of summer is playing outside! But I think that goes without saying when you live in MN ;)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, proud of ya girl! And sign me up, I wanna read it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of summer? Oh goodness, this is going to have to require some deep thought. It's been over 105 degrees here all week, yesterday was 112* - I currently feel like sludge from the bottom of a pond what with the miracle of all day sickness that is bound to be with me for another 4 or 5 weeks. Popsicles. My favorite part of summer this year has been the popsicles. Sorry, that's the best I can do. ;)
How exciting Becky! I do find if funny though that you are nervous about being in print when in all reality having a blog on the internet has the potential to reach a bigger audience. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of summer . . . watching my 9 month old discover and fall in love with the pool!
Love you sweet pea. I'm going to buy one today! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That's so exciting! I think one of my favorite things about summer is swimming in the lake!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you! I think my favorite things about summer are the lazily mornings snuggling with my nine year old!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing !<3 I would have to say my favorite summer moment was helping little kids at a horse barn by getting the horses tacking them up and walking them around on the horses it was a blast !!! Good luck out there girly ! ;) <3
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing !<3 I would have to say my favorite summer moment was helping little kids at a horse barn by getting the horses tacking them up and walking them around on the horses it was a blast !!! Good luck out there girly ! ;) <3
ReplyDeleteI would hate to be famous too! Oh the thought of scrutiny! I could not take it. I already worry about it sometimes and I only have like 5 followers. lol! I agree with blogland being quiet...I think the heat has gotten to me so I just feel to lazy to blog or clean or anything really!
ReplyDeleteCongrats again! I am so happy they featured you. God is so good!
My favorite part of summer so far was our trip to Holiday World :)
My favorite part of summer so far has been a trip to Hawaii for my little sister's wedding. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats by the way!
My favorite part of summer this year has been spending lots of quality time with my senior in high school daughter...I know my time with her is limited as she goes to college next summer!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Becky! So so sooooo happy for you! Talented and beautiful inside and out!
Becky, I was in Ohio this past weekend and I saw this magazine for the very first time...I opened it and I opened right to the article about you!I wanted to tell everyone that was standing nearby that I "KNOW" her (you)! What a beautiful magazine! Since I am on a budget I wasn't able to buy the magazine so I just paged through it very quickly. Congratulations on being chosen to be in the magazine.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite of summer is being able to porch sit with my hubby, Tim.
Patti
Being a teacher, I enjoy summers probably more than most. I have two kids at home and we welcome each day with whatever adventures it will bring. Sometimes it's something special planned in advance like today's playdate, or a trip to the zoo. Sometimes if we have nothing going on, we just have to get out of the house so it's a trip to the park paired with running errands around town. What do I love most? Simply spending more time with my kids! No matter if it's something special or just a trip to the grocery store!
ReplyDeleteHey sweet friend....
ReplyDeleteI dont want to be added to the give away....cause I got mine and love love love it...you will be signing it soon.
My favorite part of summer was flipping the coin at Restore.....love you!
Let the favor of others flow.....ride the wave..enjoy the moment....smooches!
joannie
Becky...
ReplyDeleteOH YEAH! Congratulations! Job well done! I do believe I agree with ya about the summer blogging-blahs!! A friend and I had just been saying that everyone is on hiatus! Can't wait to see the article!
Yay! Congrats! I am SO not surprised that they came calling for a feature. :) Your pics are fab, words authentic, creativity abounds, and reading your blog is like chatting with a girlfriend over coffee. Can't wait to read it! So far this summer I loved taking bike rides with my family. Makes me feel like a kid again. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow - very cool!
ReplyDeleteOkay, one of my best memories of summer - going today with my fiancé to our wedding venue, and soaking up the beautiful sunshine, smelling the glorious roses and seeing God's beautiful creation........we are getting married outdoors in a beautiful horticultural park in 2 months!
Congratulations!! My favorite part of summer is yet to come.....a 2 week trip to Spain and Portugal!!
ReplyDeleteOh B, SO excited
ReplyDeletefor you!! I remember
when we first talked
about this....and here
it IS : )
Honestly, the best
part of my summer
is my babies being
at home, as I know
that time is fleeting
with E's senior year
about to take flight.
Love them sleeping
in upstairs as I putter
around quietly in the
early hours....The big
feet of my boy hanging
out from under the sheets
when I peek in his room
makes me SMILE big time.
Congrats.....love ya!
xo Suzanne
Congrats!! The best part of the summer for me so far is snorkelling in the ocean ! Woohoo!!! I love summer!!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!! You are SO worthy!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of summer has come in an unlikely package: Being injured.
I have been transformed yet again.
I have been forced to slow down,
take in all that is usually taken for granted,
And to be so very grateful for every little thing!
I haven't carried my girl on my hip for TWO MONTHS!
Who knows when I'll get to do that again, but I am looking
sooo forward to walking again and doing all the things two feet
can allow me to do :)
Congratulations on the feature! My favorite part of summer has been reconnecting with my hubby and my boys. It's been awesome!
ReplyDeleteWoo Hootness!!!!!!!!! So excited for you. It's so much fun to flip through fancy pages and see real life friends. I miss you!
ReplyDeleteWow how wonderful is that, congrats! Ummm summer fav has been sleepy summer mornings and getting to hang with the family
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Congrats! I would love a copy!!!
ReplyDeletexo ellie
Oops forgot to add my memory - the beach!!!!
ReplyDeletexo ellie
Congratulations! Favorite summer memory so far - escaping for a week with my family to a little cabin in the woods in Alabama. No phone, no tv, no internet. It was amazing!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!!! My favorite summer memory so far is going home to South Carolina for a week. It is so good for the soul to go back home to family :)
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy for you girl! Congratulations! I will take a peek the next time I'm at Barnes and Noble. Can't wait to see your face in there!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! A huge congratulations to you Becky.I am so happy for you. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part memory of this summer has been taking photos of my great-granddaughter baby Grace outdoors. I've had such fun capturing her and my family has been enjoying getting some awesome photos to frame. So it has become a family fun thing for all of us.
Savor this moment Becky.
Mary

-Jennifer
Awww, you're a rockstar!! Congrats, this is so cool! Im going to see if I can find this so I can brag :) My favorite summer memory was of the roadtrip my mom and girls and I took...we met in VA and then headed to PA where my niece was married. She's a stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma living breathing miracle, and was the most radiant bride...I just watched her with tears in my eyes knowing that our God is still a God of miracles. A priceless memory that at one low low point we wondered if would ever come. Praise God!!
ReplyDeleteBecky I bow to your awesomeness!!! Congratulations what a wonderful honor it is to have your blog noticed. I love that magazine too! I would like to win a copy ( signed by you of course) Favorite thing about this summer, we got a puppy!!!!
ReplyDeleteAbout the sounds of crickets in blogland..I hear them too. Where is everyone? xo
Hi Becky! Love peeking into your world every chance I get. You inspire me to be a better Christian, thank-you. My favorite thing about summer...Every 3rd of July we host a party for our family and friends. LOTS of work, but love love the memories we're making for our kids/grandkids. My sisters and brother and their families come from all over! This year we had 50+ adults and children, and not all of my children made it! Love it. God Bless ya girl.
ReplyDeletewhat a blessing!
ReplyDeleteGod knows JUST when to bless us!
xoxo
congrats girl! your blog is the bomb!
:)
That's soooo exciting Becky!!! Though I don't know that magazine - they must not have it North of the boarder - booo! I hope I win a copy then, that way I'll get to read your article! :D
ReplyDeleteI get what you mean about it feeling more 'Out there' with your words being in a magazine as opposed to a blog - I feel the same way - not that I've been published in a magazine or anything, just saying - I get what you mean!!!
Okay so right - favourite part of summer... having our new baby and my hubby home on parental leave to enjoy it all with me! Oh and moving to the country and getting to enjoy the long lazy days of summer away from the city, that's pretty darn awesome too!! :)
♥
So excited for you and they certainly know how to pick who they feature! My favorite part of this summer has been enjoying one of the greatest birthdays in my life. I never knew turning 60 could be so much fun! I'm in Des Moines right now enjoying time with my baby brother and his family. Hope I win a copy! :o) Again, so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! That is SO exciting!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting!!!!! My favorite part memory from summer so far has been spending it at home this year. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNo schedule to keep up!...the luxury of lazily lying in bed & starting the day with the kiddos without the pressure of getting everyone up & out of bed for the start of a school-day.
ReplyDeleteOh Becky, you so deserve the recognition! Congratulations on the Artful Blogging feature:) And yes, I agree...it has been "quiet" in blogland. The thing I've loved the most about this summer is that life seems to go at a slower pace around our house. Being relaxed. Just hanging out together.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky! I'm finally commenting...I've been too shy in the past, but I've been a reader for a little while :) Whenever a new post of yours pops up on my google reader, I always look forward to reading it and seeing all your fun photos! And this news was just too exciting to pass up a comment...congratulations! YOU are in a magazine...WHOA! One that's pretty popular too! I'd love to win a copy!
ReplyDeleteAnd to answer your question, my favorite summer memories so far...well, we're on vacation right now at the Oregon Coast and we're making lots of memories and experiencing lots of firsts with our son who is 3yrs. old. Reading books on the beach, running into the freezing cold Pacific Ocean, watching the Olympic Games until midnight, exploring old towns and museums, just BEING TOGETHER, enjoying the beauty of nature, and feeling very grateful for this life.
Hooray, Hooray, Hooray!! Oh I would LOVE a copy. I have always loved coming by here...you and your *rap inspire me:) LOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw a copy of that mag yesterday but didn't pick it up...soooo I need it.
You are amazing and how WONDERFUL for you!!! YAY!
Leslie
That is so exciting! Congrats!!! Actually it's not summer on my side of the world (New Zealand) but I am dreaming of summer.... and I think the best thing about summer for me this year will likely be the porch (complete with porch swing) my honey will be building for me, and a vege garden full to boot with delicious goodness.... yeah!
ReplyDeleteI have been telling you for years now how great your blog is and what a wonderful person you are ~ maybe now you will believe!! Congrats to you sweet friend and I would be tickled pink to have my name thrown into your pot. I am having a little giveaway too so head on over and check it out. xo
ReplyDeleteOh ~ and my favorite part about summer so far have been spending lazy mornings over coffee on the deck with my love ~ no tv or computer ~ just us and the sunshine. xo
ReplyDeletei already have my copy so i don't need one, BUT just had tot ell you how awesome i think this is! so exciting for you(and your girls) to have this to keep forever. love it. congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That is soooo awesome. I was just at the store the other day and picked up the issue to glance then hubby called me over to look at something. Didn't even open the magazine. I would have been so thrilled to see it in person.
ReplyDeletethat is beyond cool, becky! what a wonderful gift, yes?! can't wait to get my hands on a copy. i just may have to take myself on a little barnes&noble date!
ReplyDeleteand my favorite part of summer are the have-nothing-to-do days when we might actually DO NOTHING or maybe take a boat ride last minute. after the busyness of early summer, i'm ALL about nothing to do. :)
well done Becky. I would love a copy of the article! The favourite part of the summer so far for me has been having breakfast in the citizenm hotel bar the day after watching the volleyball with my son at the olympics. Such an extravagant treat! just sitting there soaking it all in. knowing it doesn't happen very often!
ReplyDeleteBecky: YIPPEE for you and well deserved for sure. Cant wait to see it..
ReplyDeleteLove that your little camper is pictured. We have spent weeks looking for a little camper just like your drawing cant wait to make one ours.
If you would consider a giveaway item on your blog from my daughters Etsy page let us know. She just started and I
would love to see her sell her cute hand made pcs. again congrats ~julie~
My honest to goodness favorite part of summer....the freedom. I have a job that follows my kid's school schedule, so I'm off in the summer too. Staying up late, sleeping in...can't beat it!
ReplyDeletejust having the summer off with the kids-I work at a school I'm so exceited for you! That is a very big accomplishment...they picked you and that alone should tell you how great you are. Think of it as your kid just did this and how proud you would be for them so be proud of yourself & enjoy your article! I know your family is proud of you & so am I.
ReplyDeleteVery cool on your article! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the summer for sure is the slower pace, all the summers fresh fruits and veggies! and just hanging out with my boys as they are growin' up so darn fast!
My favorite part of summer will happen in a couple of weeks when my son returns home a soldier after Army basic training!
ReplyDeleteDenise
Congratulations on the article! How awesome is that? My favorite part of the summer is having all my kiddos home and spending time with them. :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Becky! That is so great!!! You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of summer has been having my husband back.
With all of his training with the Air Force, (so far) we have spent almost a year apart.
Congrats girl! Fave part of summer. Just being. floating in the pool or the ocean. No plans, no job...just being.
ReplyDeleteDrove for 58 miles to get my copy yesterday ...I am so very very happy for you. God's favor...looks good on you girl!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! So happy and proud for you! My favorite part of the summer has been vacation, swimming at the lake, and weekend road trips!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of summer so far has been finding your blog. I am new to the blogging world and am just finding out what it is all about. I connected to you through Laura over at Finding Home and have been enjoying both your blogs immensely. Reading your blog and sharing your music choices and your views on your faith really bring a uplifting freshness to my spirit.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks,
Cheryl
my favorite part of summer?
ReplyDeletesitting outside in the morning with my best Friend..stinky breath and messy hair...He doesn't care.
and coffee
and singing birds
and morning breezes
that is my favorite part of summer.
I am SO beyond the moon proud of you girl! Nikki read it to me while I was driving downtown and I just squealed with excitement for you. Tears welled up. What a gift God has given you. You share Him and He blesses you with a little magazine article. He is so good to us and knows just what we need even when we don't. You are priceless and I am SO happy to have met you..even via a computer.
xoxo
Congratulations! How wonderful....I LOVE Artful Blogging. :)
ReplyDeleteFavorite part of summer so far: Shopping road trip w/ my Mom on a rare day off work for both of us. Time spent together couldn't be better. Thanks for the opportunity to win and congrats on the feature!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part(s) of summer: food from my garden, barefeet, ice cream, cold beer on the patio, late nights, heat. I truly do just love summer!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the article, so exciting!
Congratulations a million times over!! My favorite parts of summer? Definitely having our kiddos home! :) Relaxed schedules, road trips, homemade ice cream, lots of games, lots of sunshine, lots of FUN! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! As nervous as you are I'm sure there's the bubble up excitement you've so easily shown us bubbling inside! My favorite part or summer? Hmmm...I recently moved to a town with more outdoor activities than I ever could have imagined. I'm working on making my family be a little more outdoorsy, even though I hate to sweat. But I have to say my favorite part of "this" summer has been new friends and experiences (ie. paddle boarding for the very first time on a windy day).
ReplyDeleteCongrats Becky! I think it is awesome that you've been published in Artful Blogging, and I love the fact that your talent and love of God is going to be out there for others to read about! YAY for you!!! Enjoy this time, you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of summer has been Tuesdays and Thursdays, the days I don't work and get to spend with my two beautiful girlies!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome! My summer has been spent at the Rec Center watching my oldest daughter play volleyball for the first time.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! ... It IS quiet in blogland. But I've noticed that it generally is more quiet in August anyway. ;) We're LIVING every breathless moment of summer in joy.
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO...jumping up and down and so happy for you getting published Becky!!! This is wonderful news and it doesn't surprise me one bit. Your blog is AWESOME and so awesome for Artful Blogging magazine. It is one of my very favorite magazines to read while I'm sipping my chai at Barnes and Noble. I WANT A COPY and if I don't win one here, I will be buying one of my own because I KNOW THE FAMOUS FARMGIRL PAINTS!!! WoO HoO!!!! Can't wait to show all of my local friends..

ReplyDeleteSummer? What's that? I've been too busy to realize it. But what I have liked most about it, is of course spending some time at the farm, as well as doing farm photography for a friend. :)
ReplyDeleteso so happy for you... this blog belongs in there! way to go, miss becky!
ReplyDelete{ps: don't enter me-i've already got my copy, but, ya know, we'll have to meet on the interstate or something so you can sign mine!!} ;)
Days and days at home getting ready to camp....and a new-to-us trailer purchase! Compared to other summers where I accepted waaay too many extra shifts at work, this has been a restful and restorative break.
