You can only be young once. But you can always be immature. ~Dave Barry Mothers of teenagers know why animals eat their young. ~Unknown The young always have the same problem – how to rebel and conform at the same time.

Good Things to Come
I saw this video for the first time last month, the night before the Casual Blogger Conference, and knew it was something I wanted to share. It was a message I needed to hear. Sometimes I feel like that young dad (yes, it really happened to the person speaking). He ended up ok, and his…
She Auditioned for Oprah!
How huge is that?! While I am at home pulling my hair out as we adjust to the new Summer schedule, Mary Kay is auditioning to be on the Oprah show. Mary Kay is the amazing woman I talked about in an earlier post about Yoursphere. A fellow mom of 5, Mary Kay was looking…
Little Miss Expressive
I have a friend who has a little girl. This little girl likes to stick her tongue out and wrinkle her nose and eat wooden blocks. And she is absolutely adorable. I had so much fun taking her pictures this week. Maybe because of her milky skin or her dark, clear blue eyes. Or maybe…
It Happened at Work
It was 1944 when Grandpa met Grandma for the first time. He had recently returned home from a mission in New Mexico, and she was living with an aunt and uncle and working in San Fransisco. Grandpa’s mom had met Grandma before his homecoming, and instantly made note of the absence of an engagement ring. She wrote…

Smart Girl. Smart Pasta.
I mentioned in my recent review of Ronzoni SmartTaste Pasta that there would also be a photo contest connected with the Ronzoni blog tour. After much consideration (and lots of opinions sought) I have settled on this picture of Reese chowing down on her dish of CHUNKY ITALIAN SAUSAGE MARINARA. Yeah. It was yummy. Smart…
All About Babies
I swear I am not trying to give anybody baby fever. It’s just that this week’s I Heart Faces theme is All About Babies and I had to share this maternity picture. I thought it might be a fun twist on the standard baby shot. If you’d like to see how beautiful this gorgeous couple’s…
