It didn’t really hit me until just a few minutes ago that it was Thursday evening. I mean I knew what day it was….we’ve been doing the countdown to our big Florida trip for weeks and we are finally leaving TOMORROW. This afternoon, we’re in the middle of pre-vacation craziness. The kids are bouncing off…
Happiness in Black and White – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
My kids had another 4-day weekend, and instead of sitting at home like we did for days during Hurricane Sandy, we made plans to drive to my sister’s house to spend the day with the cousins….and their new puppies. The puppies were a huge hit, and I haven’t seen so many REAL smiles all in…
Halloween Class Parties 2012 – Photostory Friday GMYBS
I’ll admit – as much as I love candy (I really do. It’s bad) I’ve never really gotten the hype over Halloween. I’ve never been one to go all out with costumes (most years I just let my kids pick something from the stash of costumes I keep in the attic), although last year I…
Proud to be Unique – Walt Disney Quote # PSF
I don’t think I am more proud of my oldest daughter, Kit Kat, than each year when the school holds Spirit Week. When she was a freshman, she dressed in what I thought at the time was the wackiest Wacky Wednesday costume ever. I was insanely proud of her confidence and the fact that she…
Birthday Flowers – PSF/Give Me Your Best Shot
Monday was my birthday. And it kinda stunk. Two days after my birthday, the doorbell rang. One of the kids yelled up to my office – “Mom! Someone sent you flowers!” I almost cried when I saw them. I needed some beauty this week. And these birthday flowers were beautiful. Thank you to my friends…
Signs of Fall – Photostory Friday GMYBS
I’ve been so tired lately. Maybe it could have something to do with the amazingly beautiful weather and cool breeze relaxing me. OK, maybe not. I’ve just been tired. Today on my morning walk, I was struck by the sights and smells of Fall. I could have spent the entire day outside, enjoying the scent…
Creative Bonding with Goldfish Smiles – PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
My kids love any excuse to pull out the glue and the glitter. So when we were given the challenge to let our creativity flow with Goldfish and just a few “ingredients,” the kids jumped at the chance and put everything into their creations. Goldfish Art of the Month — Month 1 Theme: Color Ingredients:…
She’s Behind the Wheel! Photostory Friday – GMYBS
How did this happen? I’ve got a teenage driver. I’ve spent all of my extra time this week running back and forth to and from the DMV getting my oldest daughter’s permit. And now that she’s got that little card in her hands…. …the driving lessons begin. I feel a little bit like a first-time…
Surrounded by Beauty – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
Only photographers go on outings for the sole purpose of taking pictures. And only bloggers go on outings for the sole purpose of taking pictures for blog posts. I’m doomed. After spending the week either sitting at my computer or running errands at the store, I needed to find some inspiration. I found it this…
Family Fun Night With Go-Carts – Photostory Friday #GMYBS
Last Friday, we decided to surprise the kids with an out-of-the-ordinary family night. We didn’t tell anybody where we were going, and we didn’t even give them any hints other than the fact that we were driving 45 minutes away. When we got to our destination, I admit the family fun center did not look…
