May Your Weekend Begin on a Happy Note
I hope you can enjoy your kids this weekend, and hopefully find a little sunshine. After watching this short video from Fishful Thinking, I am going to snuggle with AJ and enjoy the sunny weather today. This just makes me feel good inside. I hope it does the same for you.
Give Me Your Best Shot! #10
Are you surprised I picked this picture as my favorite shot of the week? I loved it when I took it, and then even more when I got it onto my computer and turned it sepia. I might just have to take your advice and frame this one. What about you? What have you been…
Foto Friday–Keystoning
Those of you who have been reading this week know that I went on a photo safari in Washington DC last weekend. We met early in the morning (hence the lack of crowds on the Jefferson Memorial below) to take pictures of the cherry blossoms and monuments around the Tidal Basin. During the safari, the…
Fix-It Friday #10
This super-cute photo from my friend, Melinda of Bloggin’ It From the Burbs is this week’s Fix-it at I Heart Faces. This is the original: And here is what I did with it in Lightroom: (I think my favorite is the sepia)
Harper’s Ferry (and an Old Fence)
I’ve been eager to share our trip to Harper’s Ferry this week, and waiting for the perfect time. And then I realized–our trip would be perfect for A Thousand Words Thursday. And, to top it off, a bunch of the pictures fit perfectly with this week’s You Capture theme–Rustic. So please forgive me while I…
Writers Workshop (On a Roll!)

Wordful (That’s My Sister!) Wednesday
Back in the summer of 2001, when Twizzler was just a few months old, we were planning our trip to visit my in-laws in Florida. Having my 3rd child had kind of put me over the edge. Physically and emotionally, I was having a hard time adjusting. So as we planned the trip, I thought…
Wordless Wednesday–DC at Sunrise
Yes, I really did get out of bed at 4:00 in the morning to make it to downtown Washington DC an hour before sunrise on a cold and rainy day. Why did I do it?a) For the adventure?b) Because I really don’t sleep much anyway (why not do something fun)?c) To Learn something new?d) Because…
Can You Tell I Bribed Them?
Is it obvious that my kids don’t like the fact that I force this tradition upon them every Spring Break? Can you tell that I was furious with AJ for stepping in front of the camera and constantly trying to get in the picture? (notice that first picture–he was not supposed to be in there)…
