new place.

Sorry, I really left y'all in the dark, huh?  Well, it's not because I just completely abandoned blogging.  I'm in the process of creating a new blog.  Tinysnapshots has been a fun place to start though.  I created it back in 2010, right after Michael and I got married.  I really had NO idea what blogging even meant.  I somehow stumbled upon a lady's blog (she wrote from her home in Australia), and I loved it....and I wanted to make my own.  Tinysnapshots was born within a few hours in an apartment in downtown St. Louis.  

Since then, I've written about tons of stuff, but mostly personal things, especially my journey during my pregnancy with Baby M.  I love writing, and the last few weeks have been kinda weird since I haven't sat at this desk and typed for a solid hour about what has been going on in my little world.  However, my blog had gotten to a point that I felt like I had somehow "maxed out." I guess this was meaning it was time for a break, so I decided to take one.  I know some of y'all have missed me!  Even though everything isn't completely ready to launch, I'm ready to get back to writing and stuff.  So, I feel it's time to share with y'all my new place.

You can find me at:

BUT, you must know that Creek Junk won't be the same.  It's not going to be nearly as personal (well, I say that now, but we'll see).  It's going to be different, so be prepared.

Thank you for keepin' up with my little, growing family.  I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing stories through tinysnapshots.  I hope y'all continue reading...

short&sweet.

The blog is a changin', folks.  Enjoy the old posts that are still available for a little bit.  Look through the pics...take some and share if you want.  But this place will be shutting down for good here soon.  New ideas are flowin', and it's time for a much needed change.

yogurt kisses.

yogurt kisses in the making.

A couple months ago, I saw a tweet that said something about a simple snack*.  The "simple" part caught my attention.  It was a blog post about how to make tiny, yogurt drops, or yogurt kisses.  All you have to do is put a baggie in a cup {see photo on left}, spoon the flavored yogurt into it, seal the baggie, clip a corner, squeeze drops onto a cookie sheet {see photo on right}, and pop them in the freezer for an hour.  I chose to put parchment paper on my cookie sheet, but it's not necessary.  They're super good, but they tend to melt fast, so eat 'em quick!  I had forgotten about doing this until I was talking to one of my cousins at a birthday party recently, and she was talking about making these for her little boy...Which reminded me to share this simple idea with everyone!  The baggie in the cup idea is brilliant for frosting, too. :) Enjoy!

Help me decide, people.

Most of y'all know about my chairs I spray painted earlier this summer.

These little beauties:

Now, I'm asking for some help.

What color should I paint the bench?

Help me decide by taking my poll on this blog

located in the right toolbar...all the way at the tippy top.

Thank y'all!!
