Stinking Pests!
Stink bugs. They are everywhere. Everywhere! They stink. A few other things that stink: Broken dishwashers Failed electrical systems in houses 4 hours of sleep at night Dirty bathrooms Lost things Peeling nail polish Forgetting to transfer the laundry to the dryer (eww! stinky!) Headaches Backaches Obligations that prevent nap-taking in the middle of the…
Photography Tips for Rainy Days
Today’s quick photography tutorial is inspired by our current wet weather. It has been raining here for the last 2 days, and after the dry spell we’ve had for the last little while, it has been quite enjoyable (albeit quite WET). The rain inspired me to start my regular photography tips back up. After a…
When am I going to use this in the real world?
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of ATETV.org. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s hard for me to believe that my oldest daughter needs to start thinking about college and a career path already. She’s only just begun her freshman year of high school, and yet we’ve already talked about graduating…
10 Best Words That Didn’t Make the Dictionary
I’ve never been one to use big words. I have a decent vocabulary, but for the most part, I stick with the same old words day after day. I was surprised, then, when I read A blog post entitled Top 10 Non-Words of 2010, since some of the words that I use regularly were just…
What’s For Lunch?
I have a confession to make. It’s lunch time and I am eating a hot dog, without bun, cut up like I would do for my kids. I’m dipping the hot dog chunks in spicy mustard….with a cup of yogurt and a few tylenol on the side. Not the epitome of a healthy lunch. So…
I’m Married To Hugh Grant
It’s hard for me to watch Hugh Grant movies. They are almost always romances, and it just feels awkward to see my husband up there on the screen with other women. I am married to Hugh Grant. OK….maybe not technically. But close. Jealous? Last night, while folding laundry and watching a Hugh Grant movie, CandyMan…
Dear You Guys….
In a short but necessary break from Saturday morning cleaning, I checked twitter, and noticed a comment from my friend Julie of Dutch Being Me. Her post, a clever meme from A Belle, a Bean, and a Chicago Dog, had me laughing out loud. So, of course, I had to take a slightly longer break…
Life. Photostory Friday
Life. I am surrounded by life. Beautiful, wonderful, new life. As a mother and as a photographer, I get to experience the best moments of life over and over again. The excitement of a new baby, the anticipation of an engagement, the emotions of a wedding, the thrill of expecting a little one. I am…
Framed
The time has finally come. I’m taking Twizzler in to have his eyes checked, and I fear that it’s finally his turn to have his own set of eyeglasses like his dad and big sisters. He’s got all of the signs: squinting, complaining that he can’t read things, ans sadly…..family history. My girls got their…
