On Wednesday night, on our way home from cub scouts, Activity Days, and Young Women’s, Necco “reminded” me that I had signed up to be a chaperone for her 5th grade field trip The Next Morning. We got home at 9pm, and despite the fact that I hate calling people later, I made a quick…

Earth Day at Mountainside
I’ve never been involved in an Earth Day celebration like the one I attended this past Saturday. And despite my aching feet after walking the 115 acre facility for 3 1/2 hours, I left Mountainside feeling inspired and refreshed. There is so much we can do.

Last week, I received a question from a friend and fellow blogger who was wondering why her daughter was not in focus in some of her photos (but the stroller was!). I am asked this diagnostic question quite a bit, and the majority of the time the solution is the same. Focus on your subject!…

Yesterday, I had the fabulous opportunity to attend a Press Event at the National Press Club introducing We Give Books.

Dave Barry And Me
I have a lot more to say about this picture of me with Dave Barry….. ….but I am literally so exhausted by my day that I am going to leave the picture alone. I will tell you all about my amazing day soon. I promise. (<—–Look! I told you I’d tell you soon. Click on…
Bloggography Challenge – Lenses
The last Bloggography Rule of Thirds Photo Challenge was one of my favorites to date. I am apparently naturally drawn to photos that follow the rule of thirds. Here’s one from two weeks ago that particularly stood out to me. Isn’t this a stunning photo from Jacki at Ravensspell.blogspot.com? Did Manic Mother feature your shot?…
