Have you ever wondered how to capture amazing, unique fireworks photos? You may have tried snapping a picture or two with your smart phone, or you’ve seen fellow fireworks-watchers trying to capture fireworks using the flash on their camera. I’m guessing that most of those pictures fell flat. I came upon this method on accident,…
Happy 4th of July! #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Early morning breakfast, flag ceremony, and patriotic singing. Check! Late morning episode of Downton Abbey (we’re catching up!). Check! Early afternoon swimming at the pool. Check! Late afternoon grocery store visit for chicken, chips, watermelon, ice cream treats and soda (essential 4th of July picnic food). Check! Evening at the fairgrounds full of music,…
Red White and Blue Cake Mix Cookies – Easy 4th of July Recipe
Despite the heat in the kitchen (our AC is still out!) the kids were begging me to bake some cookies with them yesterday afternoon. I decided that if I had to endure the heat, I’d at least make something fun and festive to enjoy for the 4th of July. I love making cake…
Goldfish My Way – Customized Goldfish Packages for Special Occasions
I received a complimentary set of Goldfish My Way customized party favors for my youngest son’s 8th birthday last month and have an ongoing compensated relationship with Goldfish Smiles, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Note: it appears that Pepperidge Farm has discontinued making Goldfish My Way packaging. I don’t know when they discontinued…
How to Create a Father’s Day He Won’t Forget
Note: I am compensated for the posts that I write for P&G Everyday and other sites, but am not required to share them here. I just thought you’d like to see what I’ve been writing on other sites, especially since this article is so timely. Enjoy! With Father’s Day right around the corner, I’m…
Birthday Party Times Three! #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
These pictures are coming to you a little late (the birthday celebration was nearly 2 weeks ago now) but these family birthday party pictures were too fun not to post. How unique is it that three members of my family (my youngest son, my sister, and my dad) all have birthdays within 3 days of…
Memorial Day Weekend Fun #99SummerDays With #HebrewNational
Note: This post is being sponsored by Hebrew National via Glam Media, but all family fun activities, opinions and photos within this post are my own. Whew! What a glorious kick off to summer we just had (although it’s still difficult to convince everyone that summer is almost here, considering that we’ve had temperatures in…
It’s Not Mother’s Day ‘Til Someone Says, “I Hate You, Mom!”
I don’t have many (high) expectations for Mother’s Day. As long as I can get a nap (the height of luxury) and, if possible, avoid cooking all day, then I can end the day relatively satisfied. Why is it, then, that I come to the end of most Mother’s Days feeling like a horrible, unappreciated…
Birthday Party #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Reese turned 10 last month. We had to wait for a few weeks after her birthday to have her party, but it was worth the wait. Reese is at such a funny age – that in-between stage where she stops being a little girl and starts becoming a young woman. It’s kind of driving me…
Easter Egg Hunt on Hershey Hill – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
I think I’ve mentioned a time or two that four nights in the hospital kinda messed up most of our Spring Break plans. Luckily, I have an awesome sister who stepped in and redeemed the last few days of the week. Not only did she take my four younger kids for 2 1/2 days (where…
