I was cleaning up the family room just now and found this to-do list. Number eight and thirteen (and the fact that he was completely serious) were so funny, I had to share: I can’t wait to see how he completes his list. What would be on YOUR kids’ to-do list?
Burn, Baby, Burn!
I earned the coolest mom award this afternoon. KitKat and her friend were over here after school and started joking about wanting to burn their posters from Spanish class (sadly, they really don’t like the teacher, and he has just about ruined the language for my daughter). I heard them scheming in the kitchen, and…
Learning ISO with Bloggography
This tutorial was written by my co-host, Beth from Manic Mother. What is ISO? One of the greatest tools of a DSLR camera (and many point & shoots) is the ability to adjust the ISO. Before the digital age, photographers bought their film in different “speeds” – the ISO number referred to the speed of…
Build a Better Birthday Party with Wilton!
As a mother of 5 children, I know a bit about kids’ birthday parties. Starting in December, I have a child’s birthday every 2-6 weeks until June. It can be tiring (“One down, four to go!”) but it is also fun. I love to bake. I have discovered over the years that it is possible…
We Are Family
This is not my family. This is my good friend’s family. This is my good friend who, 8 years ago, encouraged me to pursue photography. Eight years ago, this family was the very first family that I did a photo shoot for. They’ve grown a lot in the last 8 years, and I am happy…
Lost and Found
Last night, I was determined once and for all that I would find Doug. (If you haven’t seen the rest of the Doug saga, check out these two posts first: It’s a Mom’s Duty and Missing Doug) I dumped out the huge Rubbermade tub that is lovingly referred to in our house as the “Boy…
The Goldfish Guide to Raising Optimistic Kids
Today I am going to stay away off my computer and enjoy my family. I’m going to play games (like Bananagrams, which is our current daily game), read my book (if you’ve ever considered reading Three Cups of Tea consider this your motivation to do it–it’s great!), and maybe even sneak out on a lunch…
Give Me Your Best Shot
I am a sucker for sunsets. Last night, I was cooking dinner and looked out my kitchen window to see this: When I was younger, orange skies spooked me. They looked like fire. Doom. They looked wrong. I remember one evening vividly. I was driving back from afternoon Chinese school with my best friend (who…
What Team Are You On?
No, I’m not talking about Team Edward or Team Jacob. I’m talking about Team Over or Team Under. As in toilet paper. I’m on Team Over, just in case you were wondering. Always have been. It drives me crazy when people put my toilet paper roll on backwards. You can head to https://www.cottonellerollpoll.com to see…
Missing Doug
A week ago I wrote a post about losing Doug. Doug is more than Twizzler’s favorite toy. Doug accompanies him to friend’s houses, he helps him do his homework after school each day, and he keeps him company in bed every night. Doug is still missing. Yesterday, Twizzler couldn’t sleep. He came to my room,…
