Better in Bulk - Family photographer with a large family
Daily thoughts on living with a large family. I often share the tips I've learned as a photographer on how to get better pictures.
Besides my wedding ring, the only pieces of fine jewelry that I own are a Wedgewood necklace I got in England in the mid 1990s, a single pearl necklace that CandyMan bought me for Mother’s Day many years ago (I am hoping that it’s just misplaced and not REALLY lost), and a five-diamond anniversary band [...]
St. Patrick’s Day is here! Are you wearing green? It’s been a busy week, but I found some time on Pinterest to add St. Patrick’s Day ideas (foods, activities, traditions, etc) to my Holiday board and I thought I’d share some of my favorite finds and start a St. Patrick’s Day Round-Up of my own.
Today I will stay inside my warm house and dream of chocolates. I am skipping my kids’ Valentine’s class parties for the first time since 2001. I am determined to kick this pneumonia, and I’m afraid it’s going to take a few more days resting at home before that happens. I am crushed that I [...]
These might possibly be the cutest and easiest little treats for Valentine’s Day. My kids have gone crazy over these miniature donuts (or doughnuts or however you care to spell them…). My teenager even commented that they were surprisingly yummy.
Valentine’s Day is on the horizon, and one of my family’s favorite ways to celebrate this holiday (and any holiday) is to find holiday-themed picture books to enjoy during the month. Here is a list of some Valentine’s Day books from some of our favorite children’s authors and illustrators.
We just rolled in to Maryland earlier today, and BOY is the temperature difference between here and Florida drastic. In fact, less than an hour after arriving back home, snow started falling. I think we were all ready to turn back around to enjoy a few more days of Florida temperatures and sun. I’ve hardly [...]
Christmas is officially over. The gifts have been wrapped and unwrapped. As a mom, the gifts that I give to my kids and husband are much more exciting to me than the gifts that I get myself (maybe that’s because I’ve either shopped for myself OR have a bunch of boxes of candy under the [...]
Around this time of year, I often hear the question asked, “What was your favorite Christmas present of all time?” That’s an easy question for me to answer, though I’ve got to admit that it was a tough present to get, it was really expensive, and it required a ton of expensive upgrades through the [...]
I’ve been waiting for 2 weeks to share my review of Steven Spielberg’s War Horse and I’m finally able to share details about the movie, since it’s coming out this weekend! Yes, I’ve told you about my trip to New York City, I talked about walking down the red carpet and attending the World Premiere, [...]
Merry Christmas from the warm beaches of Florida! We survived our 16 hour drive (which normally takes us 17 hours…) and have already enjoyed the 80 degree weather and the white sand in our toes. I can already feel myself decompressing. Hosted by Cecily and Lolli To play Give Me Your Best Photo Story Friday, [...]
