At the beginning of July, I started a Summer Photography Series on 5 Minutes for Mom, and I figured I would “play along” with the weekly challenges. This week’s challenge was simple – get out and take some pictures in any mode EXCEPT AUTO. I’ve had a TON of picture-taking opportunities this week, so the…
We’re Back From Jellystone Park – PSF linky
We returned from our camping trip yesterday (which means that today has been a heavy-duty laundry day for me!). I can’t say enough good about our little family vacation….and in fact, I don’t have enough time today to do our trip justice, so I figured I’d just show a couple of highlights from our stay:…
Miniature Golf – WW Linky
I must mention that I am writing this post on my netbook by campfire light. Today has been 12 straight hours of fun, and I am sad to be heading home tomorrow. I have so much to share about our camping trip, but most of that will wait til I get home. This is supposed…
Greetings from Jellystone Park!
It’s amazing how much stuff 7 people need to go camping for 2 nights. Granted, this luxurious cabin with beds, a shower, and wifi is a pretty far cry from tent camping. But, since we have our own fire pit and we’re surrounded by RVs, we’ve decided that it totally counts. We are having the…
The Traveling Photo Booth – Photostory Friday/Give Me Your Best Shot
Two days after school let out, my mother in law, the kids, and I drove down to Virginia to celebrate my brother in law’s recent wedding. The kids loved spending some one on one time with their uncle and newest aunt, we had a great time spending a couple of nights at a hotel, and…
Asheville, NC Photowalk
It has been almost 2 weeks since my Asheville Photowalk at Type A Parent Conference, but it’s never to late to share fun pictures (right?). I am so glad I joined fellow camera-toting Type-A attendees and roamed the streets of Asheville. It is a city full to the brim with photo-worthy subjects!
Type A Conference Recap
Despite what some people may think, I am not social by nature. I am the typical introvert who gets worn out by being around crowds of people. And yet, I have this crazy, conflicted, overwhelming desire to BE SOCIAL. Since I started blogging in 2007, I have been meeting and developing relationships with more people…
Ovaltine Awesome Summer Giveaway
When I was a kid, Summer time was about playing outside all day long. Summer was about swinging and swimming and sweating. If I asked my kids about Summer today, I bet they would say the same thing. My favorite childhood Summer time memories occurred in Lake Tahoe. Before I was born, my grandparents had…
Preparing for a Blogging Conference
In an incredible turn of events, I was able to arrange to go to Type A Parent Conference this year. And I am so far from being ready. There is always a ton to do before a trip, and I will inevitably forget to do or pack something before I leave. Times like these…
Go Camping for National Great Outdoors Month
My family didn’t go camping when I was a kid (if I remember correctly, we camped once during my childhood). I didn’t complain. I was perfectly happy with “roughing it” in our cabin down the lane from the beach at Lake Tahoe. Tahoe was our yearly Summer vacation, and I looked forward to it all…
