I am home. I survived two 17 hour car trips with 5 kids and a husband. I successfully left my blog to it’s own devices and took a true break. A vacation! And I am back home, looking forward to a glorious night sleep in my own bed. Taking a break from blogging is the…
Christmas on the Beach – GMYBS/PSF
I’ve been singing “I’ve been dreaming of a white Christmas” since I learned how to talk. Not only is it a beautiful song, but it comes from my favorite Christmas movie. But I don’t believe it at all. I’d take a colorful Christmas, with warm air and a cool breeze any day. I hope you’re…
Long Drives Elicite Random Thoughts
First of all, I wouldn’t recommend trying to blog after spending 17 hours in a car. It doesn’t work very well. You know you’re tired and loopy when you stop at a gas station and see a Blockbuster video store, point and say, “Look! It’s a dinosaur!” I swear I meant to say Blockbuster, and…
Surviving Long Car Trips With Kids
If you are reading this, then you can, with sympathies, imagine me in a packed-to-the-brim mini van with 5 active kids. We’re on our way to spend the holidays with Nana and Grandpap in Florida. Whenever anybody hears that we are crazy enough to drive 18 hours with 7 people packed in a car, they…
Where I Tell on the TSA
I keep hearing people murmur about the TSA getting tougher and tougher on travelers. I admit — I was a little nervous about my recent travel to Costa Rica. Security seems to get a little more strict and a little more time-consuming each time I get on a plane. I’m always worried that I will…
Exploring Costa Rica – GMYBS/PSF
It’s hard to believe, I know, but I actually have more photos from my trip to Costa Rica last week. There was just so much to see, to explore, and to enjoy. The morning after my brother in law’s wedding, CandyMan and I took a walk down the beach. I’ve never been on such a…
I Went to Costa Rica, and All I Got Was…
….a new sister. It was the best souvenir ever. Ok….a new sister wasn’t the ONLY thing I brought home from Costa Rica. I came home with quite a few pictures, too. For more pictures from my Costa Rica trip, see Tuesday in Paradise….and come back Thursday and Friday for more. Linked up to Wordful Wednesday,…
Tuesday in Paradise
I can’t begin to express how relaxing, rejuvinating and peaceful last week’s trip to Costa Rica was. If ever two people needed a vacation, it was us. Between the mornings of sleeping in and the nights drinking ginger ale at the bar with family and friends; the walks on the beach and reading an entire…
Mom’s Vacation Check-list
Between the pre-trip arrangements and the post-trip slap of reality and the monster game of catch-up, I sometimes wonder if vacations are worth the time and energy. I leave for my brother-in-law’s out-of-country wedding in one week. When I’m in trip preparation mode, my mind becomes a constant list machine. There always seems to be…
Photography Tips for Rainy Days
Today’s quick photography tutorial is inspired by our current wet weather. It has been raining here for the last 2 days, and after the dry spell we’ve had for the last little while, it has been quite enjoyable (albeit quite WET). The rain inspired me to start my regular photography tips back up. After a…
