In the last 17 1/2 years since I got married and had kids, I’ve gathered up quite an extensive collection of home movies. I started out using one of those enormous camcorders recording on VHS, then moved to a smaller camcorder using smaller tapes. Eventually, we bought a video recorder that used mini DVDs, and…
The Best Moments of 2012 #YesMemory
I started a tradition when CandyMan and I were newly married. I bought a cheap, large frame with a collage matte and filled it with pictures from our first year together. That collage was a visual, daily reminder of all of the amazing things that we had done together during our first year of marriage….
A Fun Bunch – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Kristin is one of my oldest friends in this area, and the person that inspired me to get into photography many, many years ago. Her family was my very first family portrait subject, back when her kids were little and I was still using film and had a dark room in my upstairs bathroom. A…
Dog Days of Winter Break – Wordless Wednesday
I do realize that by definition, “Dog Days” of Winter Break doesn’t make any sense…but the last week of OUR Winter Break really have been dog days as we’ve taken on my sister’s two chihuahua puppies. Other than the mouse that Pudge decided to bring into the house on Sunday morning and a couple of…
Wrapping. And Wrapping. And Wrapping
About a week ago, as I was recovering from that nasty flu that hit ONLY me (I’m actually very grateful that no one else in my family came down with it), I decided that if I was going to enjoy this Christmas season at all, I would need to give in to it completely. So…not…
My Kids Have Two New Cousins #WW Wordless Wednesday
We have always lived pretty far away from most of our family, so the fact that my sister and her family have been living within 2 hours of us for the last few years has been a HUGE deal for us. My kids adore her two girls, and now that my sister has added two…
Milk Unleashed: Benefits of Shelf Safe Milk
Bump into me at the grocery store and I can guarantee that you will find a cart full of milk. Our family of seven goes through an average of 5-6 gallons of milk a week…and that’s with 5 of them out of the house from breakfast until 3 in the afternoon. We like to drink…
Global Resort Homes – The Perfect Vacation Spot
Early in our marriage, my husband and I discovered that we had very different vacation expectations. Luckily, after almost 18 years together we’ve been able to adjust, compromise, and enjoy vacations together, but it wasn’t easy. When he’s on vacation, CandyMan likes to be busy all the time (that’s how he is at home, too)….
Boggy Creek Airboat Rides in Kissimmee, Florida #PSF
Kissimmee, Florida, trip: Day 2 You’d never know that any of my kids were nervous and hesitant about taking their first airboat ride. Last Monday I had my second experience at Boggy Creek Airboat Rides, but this was the first time any of my kids had been on an airboat ride. And we all had…
Remembering and Creating #HolidayMemories – #YesMemory Twitter Party Tonight!
I have many fond memories of holiday seasons form my childhood, though most holidays are blurred into one collective memory of late nights at Grandma’s house with cousins, music, and an abundance of good food. This is my mom’s family Christmas card, circa 1959. I love it! I remember sitting around the piano singing…
