Better in Bulk - Family photographer with a large family
Daily thoughts on living with a large family; parenting, recipes, entertainment, photography tips, and family-friendly products.
Spring is in the air and I’ve been busy this month, writing like crazy (yes, I have a life beyond this little blog!). Since I had so many articles published on other sites in April, I thought I’d post a short recap of each of my posts. PS – every time I get a new [...]
My kids are trained well…when it comes to collecting Box Tops for Education, at least. We purchase enough cereals and snacks for lunches (and yogurt and Hanes underwear and canned veggies…) to make a sizable contribution to the elementary school across the street. My kids know to clip Box Tops off of any boxes or [...]
I never pictured myself as a business owner. I never imagined that I would feel such pride in creating a beautiful family portrait or sending in an article I’ve written for a national brand. Being a full time blogger along with running a small photography business keeps my creative juices flowing…and I love it! I [...]
Last night, my son’s scout troop headed to our city’s Town Hall to meet with the mayor and pass off a requirement for a citizenship badge. As I was driving him to his meeting, I asked him how much he knew about what I had been doing for the last 3 days. He knew I [...]
Susan was a rocket scientist. I loved being able to say that I was friends with a rocket scientist (ok, technically an astrophysicist), as if some of her brilliance might rub off on me. Susan was a mother. A wife. A blogger. A friend. One year ago today, on February 6, 2012, those of us [...]
Next Sunday, I will travel down the road to Washington D.C. to join one of the most inspiring groups of people ever – at the Shot@Life Champions Summit. I am proud to have been chosen to stand among this group and to share this message, meet with Congress and LEARN. WHAT IS SHOT@LIFE? Shot@Life [...]
When I started blogging 5 1/2 years ago, there was no prior thought to what I would post each week. If I took the kids berry picking, I posted that. If I had some good news to share, I posted that. Then things changed. My kids got bigger and went off to school all day. [...]
One of the greatest things about writing so frequently on my blog is that I can look back on the year and reminisce about all of the best moments. 2012 was full of travel (something I love!), great opportunities, and tremendous growth from my kids. I can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store. [...]
Sometimes I wish that I had made a bucket list when I was younger…but even if I had, I’m pretty sure that meeting celebrities and hanging out on movie sets during filming would not have even occurred to me as something that I could do…or even wanted to do. I never knew how much I [...]
On Sunday my family and I were able to participate in a disaster relief service project of an enormous and inspiring scale. Approximately 300 volunteers of all ages gathered for 3 hours to sort, fold, box, and label thousands of boxes of donated clothing to be shipped to the victims of Sandy. We filled two [...]
