What Makes ME Smile?

Saturday, February 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Oh, this prompt from Mom Dot’s Small Talk Six is an easy one. Here are a few of the things that make me smile: 1) Finding out that another one of my pictures placed in this week’s I Heart Faces contest! Woohoo! That’s the 5th time I’ve placed in the top 10 (with 2 wins). [...]

Don’t Leave the Food Coloring Out

Saturday, February 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I posted this LOVELY shot of AJ a few days ago, but it was such a classic MESSY FACE that I figured I’d enter it in this week’s I Heart Faces kids category. Is this hideous, or what?! The story behind this photo: the kids were having some vanilla ice cream after dinner the other [...]

My Cell Phone Bars

Friday, February 27, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I’m sad that this picture is so small, but hopefully you get the idea. This is one of the first pictures I took of all 5 kids….when AJ was about a month old. I layed them down on the floor to try to show their differences in height….this picture will forever remind me of cell [...]

Fix-It Friday #4

Friday, February 27, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Original photo: I am beginning to love Fix It Fridays. I have so much fun seeing what I can do with pictures and deliberately trying out different effects. And, in keeping with my typical daily work flow, I used Lightroom 1 to edit this shot of one silly girl. Isn’t she a cutie? I’m getting [...]

Beth from Manic Mother emailed me this question, and since I’ve been asked similar questions by others, I thought I’d base my Foto Friday post today on my answer to her. Hi Lolli, I am trying to teach myself how to use our Nikon D80 , and I saw your post today and you gave [...]

Honestly, I didn’t think I was going to get to MamaKat’s Writer’s Workshop today. Headaches stink. But I went out to Necco’s school (Living Wax Museum today!) and came back with just a little bit of renewed energy and spit this out. Sorry. I am not a poet, and this is my first draft. Just [...]

Look Where Hands Have Taken Me

Thursday, February 26, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I wasn’t sure I was going to post a Thousand Word Thursday today, but I thought I’d open my picture folder and take a look to see if anything inspired me today. This is what I stumbled upon first: It might not look like much to you. A picture of someone (who happens to be [...]

No Flashing!

Wednesday, February 25, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Guess who I got to spend the day with today? Aren’t you just a teensy bit jealous? Isn’t she the cutest little doll? I had so much fun taking her pictures (even though 2 1/2 month olds are NOT the easiest models!). When I was done, I noticed an email from my sweetheart asking if [...]
