Click image to see source When CandyMan and I were newly married, we took our first vacation together. We drove to Yellowstone National Park and were awed by the beauty of the mountains, the wildlife, and the peacefulness. We camped out in a tent (one of the only times we’ve done that together!) and woke…

Pink and Black Do Not Go Well Together
My room was dark. I was awakened by CandyMan, my husband, calling my name. I was vaguely aware that he had gotten out of bed earlier to go running. I was happy to stay in bed and sleep for a few extra….precious….minutes. My bed was warm and the house was cold. The kids would still…
Grocery Price Book – Budget Bootcamp #7
It’s Time for the results of Budget Boot Camp challenge #7. It’s been an interesting road these last several weeks, with some of the “challenges” being second nature to me, and other challenges being really hard for me to adapt to. This week’s challenge happens to fall into the second category. – – The Challenge…

Lunch Is On Me – Wendy’s Giveaway
I love salads for lunch. In fact, it I wasn’t so lazy strapped for time in the middle of the day, running here and there, I’d eat a salad every day. So no one had to twist my arm to get me to try Wendy’s newest salads. The only problem I had was deciding which…
Joy

Some days, listening to the rain fall outside brings me joy. Other days, the hot sun shining down on me makes me happy. Babies make me happy. I loved…
Not Your Grandpa’s Wool
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine. When you think of wool clothing, do you think of words like thick, itchy, and hot? I am picturing some particular wool sweaters that I wore as a teen and those are the exact words I would…
Got To Wear Shades – I Heart Faces
My i heart faces entry this week was appropriately taken on the i heart faces DC photowalk in June. And, yes, that’s me in the reflection standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. For more “shady” pictures, visit i heart faces!
Never As Easy As It Looks – PSF
I spent 3 hours with a delightful mom, her 2 year old daughter, and newborn twins this week. Three hours is what it took for us to decide that we had finally caught enough pictures of her three girls, who were taking turns being fussy the entire time we were together. I constantly reassured her…
Central Park NYC With I Heart Faces
One of the highlights of my trip to BlogHer 2010 was going on a photowalk with I Heart Faces (led by the one and only Angie). My only complaint? It was HOT. I was sweaty and stinky. It was too rushed. OK–that’s 3 complaints. There simply was not enough time to enjoy everything I wanted…
