SOOC= Straight Out Of Camera This week, I caught a shot that I fell in love with immediately. And after wards I did something that I rarely ever do. I didn’t do ANYTHING. No editing. No cropping. No color or exposure adjustment. What you see is what you get. And I love it. Yes, I’m…

Pictures Worth a Thousand Words
AJ was sound asleep this afternoon when the kids came home from school. I wasn’t about to wake him from his nap just to spend some time outside. Just like kids seem to have radar-hearing in my house when a movie starts playing in the basement, AJ in his deep sleep must have heard the…
Handy Manny Big Race
Handy Manny is one of AJ’s favorite shows. We’ve got a few episodes on my iPod and he watches them over and over again when we’re waiting in line at a store or in the waiting room of the doctor’s office. I know how to keep my boy happy. The fact is, when AJ is…
A Child’s Letter to Mom

I Can Feel It In The Air! GMYBSPSF
What is IT? Spring, of course! After being cooped up in our house for MONTHS, we’ve finally had some warmer temperatures. The snow if melting and we’re heading outside. The kids were ecstatic about riding their bikes to the park. Can you tell on their faces? I just love that you can see the last…
