Little men, that is. The last two generations of Grandma and Grandpa’s family were very female dominated. Grandma and Grandpa had 4 girls and one boy. My mom had four girls and one boy. If I’m counting correctly, there were 14 granddaughters and 10 grandsons. I guess it evened out more than I realized towards…

I Left With a Bang
I like to keep things interesting. I spent all morning yesterday packing for my trip to Utah to stay with my mom and attend Education Week. I kind of forgot that I also had to pack Reese and AJ for their trip to my sister’s house, where they (and KitKat) will be staying while I’m…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Love
I had the chance to do an engagement photo session in the last week. The poor groom-to-be was so tired from working a night shift, but they were both great sports and so much fun to work with. This is one of my favorite shots from the shoot. What have you been photographing this week?…
What Exactly Are Megapixels?
Friends frequently call me up and ask for advice on which camera to buy, and one of the most common question that I hear is, “How many megapixels do I need?” Well, let’s answer that by first answering: What are megapixels? The word “pixel” comes from “picture element.” Seriously – who would have known?! A…
I Love Me A Sale!
And what better sale than the Kmart Bluelight Special?!The Bluelight Special is Back! Really, hearing “Attention Kmart Shoppers” brings back nostalgic memories of my childhood. I remember the first time I was shopping on my own at a Kmart, as a late teen, and heard that announcement. I ran over to see what was on…
A Thousand Words for Education Week!
Next week is the week I look forward to all year long. It’s my time to recharge my batteries, to rest and relax in a way that just isn’t possible at home with 5 kids and messes to clean up. On Saturday, I board a plane headed West all by myself. I’ll be leaving all…

Is That a Smile on Her Face?
I’m not sure if I’d be smiling if there was a squishy frog on my back. Ick. My big girl is at a sleep away camp for the rest of the week. She gets back the day before I leave for my trip to my mom’s house, so we’re apart for 2 weeks. That’s the…
This is the Award My Kids Would Give Me
I recently met a blog friend, Jill, at a local park. While there, Jill handed me her blog card. The card had the following picture on the front: I slipped the card in my camera case, where it sat for a few weeks. Last week, I emptied out the front pocket of my camera case…
Can I Book My Flight Tomorrow?
It’s about this time, every year, that I get to the point where I’m not sure if I can take any more. It’s not that I don’t enjoy my life as a mother of 5, a start-up business owner, and wife to a very hard-working man. I do. I am blessed. But sometimes (every August…
