this week’s simple thing:

This photo is technically from last week, but I loved it too much not to share it.  It was taken during our stay at my parents farm on the way to pick up hubby/dad from the airport. The big kids always have so much fun playing at the farm, no matter what they do, but this time it was all about playing on the hay bails. Sliding and jumping and getting covered in hay from head to toe. I have many fond memories of growing up here and I’m so thrilled to see my kids creating their own special memories of the farm.

  14. Since I like plain and simple “moonstone” would be my choice.

    Thanks for hosting. There are some lovely things here already.

    I’ve linked my post “Spring” this week. Thanks for the opportunity to share it.

  15. Shared a photo… I don’t know what happened but it posted it twice. Sorry about that. I don’t know how to take out the other one. I also wasn’t sure about the first step when it asked for a link. but it worked out in the end. lol

  16. That is such a fabulous haystack photo! What fun!
    It was a hard decision between the Rodeo Beach and the Bayside, but I think I’d step out of my comfort zone of black and white and pick the Bayside! They’re all gorgeous though!

  17. I love the “Bayside”- Spring Collection strap. They are so fun, makes for a great camera accessory and somewhere to put your lens cap which is awesome. Really want one of these!

  29. My favourite must be the one called Victoria but my husband would never let me put that on our camera so then it must be pretty Moonstone ♥

  42. It’s funny to see you wearing a coat since you were living the island life when I found your blog about a year ago. Glad your kids are able to make memories with your extended family. I’m so happy for you that your hubby has returned. Prayers to you and yours as you adjust to “togetherness” again.

  43. What a fun time for them. Climbing up there would certainly be something my kids would do. Love the perspective!

    So delighted & honored to be your giveaway sponsor today. It’s been a pleasure getting to know you Rebecca!

  53. I’m loving the Bolsa Chica strap! I think the pattern is wonderful and the fact that it’s not going to show dirt as well on the inside of the strap is a bonus! Thanks for the chance!

  60. It is so hard to choose because they are all so great! I have to say LaJolla is a favorite even though something in red would be awesome. Thanks for the chance to win!

  63. I would love to win one of her beautiful straps. LaJolla and Encinitas are my favorites.

    Neat perspective with the hay bales…I like it!

  83. I like the LaJolla too. These straps look nice. I would love a spot to put my lens cap. One of my lenses is missing a cap right now because I lost it during my last shoot.

  160. I really liked your site. You have some beautiful straps. I love the beach too. We are about a hour from Tubes Island in Georgia. We are also a hour and half from Myrtle Beach in’s. Carolina. I thought it was nice that you did a video too. I can understand that you wouldn’t be responsible for any damage done to any equipment that had one of your straps too. Thank you for a chance for one of your straps.
