Summer is the perfect time for family getaways. When I was a kid, my family would pack up the car and make the trip over the mountains and through the woods to Lake Tahoe. It was my favorite place in the world, and I imagine it would still be a favorite if I had the…
30 Indoor and Outdoor Summer Activities for Kids
For some of you, Summer is already in full swing. For others (like us) Summer hasn’t quite started yet, but will be here before we know it. The transition from full time school to full time play can be tough. It’s important (for us) to maintain a routine, even if that routine is different…
How Much Time Do Your Kids Spend Online?
During the school year, computer use is kept at a minimum for my kids (me? That’s another story!). My kids are at school for 7 1/2 hours a day, have homework and chores to do once they get home, and participate in scouts and other activities in the evenings. We stay busy. But the…
Staring Contest
I don’t have much to say about this video except that it cracks me up. Leave it to my son to ham things up. PS–I’ve got a bunch of discussions going on in my BlogFrog community. Go jump in!
From Mischievous To Mothering
A child with lots of character, from the time she was kicking me non-stop in the womb, Necco has always been a joy. Today she turns 11. Necco has changed a lot over the years, from a mischievous little girl with a bob and highlights that made all the moms jealous…..to a confident and creative…
I Heart Faces Photowalk Across America {DC Edition}
It was hot. Oppressively hot. Hot and sticky wet to the point of utter distraction. And yet, we strapped our cameras around our necks and the rest of our equipment around our backs, slipped on our walking shoes, and walked. And walked. And took a few pictures. Ok, we took a lot of pictures. We…
A Way to Give Back to Those Special Teachers
This morning, I spent two hours sorting and shelving books for the first grade team at our elementary school. When KitKat started kindergarten, I committed to volunteer in the schools as often as possible. With the subsequent births of more babies through the years, it wasn’t always easy to stay consistent with that goal, but…
Hard at Play
While I’m hard at work editing a back-load of pictures from recent photo shoots AND this past weekend’s I Heart Faces photowalk in DC, I will leave you with a simple picture. One of my favorite shots of my youngest daughter, Reese, and my oldest niece, Chick. These girls know how to play. If you…
Elements of a Successful Blogger
After spending last weekend soaking in the inspiring classes at the Casual Blogger Conference, I started thinking once again about my role as a blogger and what makes a blog successful (or not). I recently read two articles entitled What Makes a Successful Blogger and What are the Elements of a Successful Blogger which…
Refreshing Summertime Drinks
It happens every year. A heat wave comes into town, making me crave time spent pool-side with a cold drink in my hands. But the kids are still in school and I am stuck working in my house. On a side note, I am seriously contemplating moving my computer down to the basement for the…
