Bad Pregnancy Dreams {Guest Post}
If you have read my blog at all in the past, you’ve probably heard me mention my friend Safire, a local friend who I do everything with (including washing our hair in front of a video camera!) Safire is the mother of Butterfly (who turns 5 today) and twin 2 year olds, Pirate and Professor….
{Celebrating Moms} I Heart Faces
My mother is a poem I’ll never be able to write, though everything I write is a poem to my mother. ~Sharon Doubiago I’ve got a bunch of guest posts coming in the next few weeks to give me time to prepare for the Casual Blogger Conference at the end of the month. I’ll also…
Mother’s Day Quotes
Since I woke up sick this morning (yes, sick on Mother’s Day!), I am taking the easy route and re-posting some of my favorite quotes about Mothers. I couldn’t let this day go by without expressing my love and appreciation for my own mother. She is the best! The sweetest sounds to mortals given Are…

Bloggography Challenge – Focus
Two weeks ago, we featured photos from users who took the challenge to use their current lenses to do what they do best, whether that was macro or landscape or action. I loved the variety that we had from last week’s participants. Here is one of the photos that stood out to me, from The…
