I Heart Props
While I am attempting to have a very productive day, getting MANY other posts ready to publish, photos edited, shopping done, and exercise accomplished, I thought I’d post a quick I Heart Faces post. This week’s theme is PROPS and this coal bucket is one of my current favorite newborn props. I can’t wait to…
Focusing on the Find – Avoiding Auto
At the beginning of July, I started a Summer Photography Series on 5 Minutes for Mom, and I figured I would “play along” with the weekly challenges. This week’s challenge was simple – get out and take some pictures in any mode EXCEPT AUTO. I’ve had a TON of picture-taking opportunities this week, so the…

I can’t say enough good about our little family vacation….and in fact, I don’t have enough time today to do our trip justice, so I figured I’d just show a couple of highlights from our stay:…
Miniature Golf – WW Linky
I must mention that I am writing this post on my netbook by campfire light. Today has been 12 straight hours of fun, and I am sad to be heading home tomorrow. I have so much to share about our camping trip, but most of that will wait til I get home. This is supposed…

Good Mornings with #GoodNites
When my kids were babies, they spent the early morning hours in bed with me. Sharing the bed with my little ones was my last effort to get in a few extra hours of sleep. I desperately needed that extra sleep. My kids would be bumped out of the coveted spot in my bed when…

These 2 winners will receive three canisters…
The Traveling Photo Booth – Photostory Friday/Give Me Your Best Shot
Two days after school let out, my mother in law, the kids, and I drove down to Virginia to celebrate my brother in law’s recent wedding. The kids loved spending some one on one time with their uncle and newest aunt, we had a great time spending a couple of nights at a hotel, and…
