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.
When CandyMan and I got married in April 1995, one of our first purchases on that big wedding-money-shopping-spree was a microwave. I purposefully bought the largest microwave I could find, with all the bells and whistles, similar to this GE Profile, because I knew that we’d be using it a lot. And I wanted something [...]
Raise your hand if, as a youth, you ever wrote a letter to yourself, to be opened many years in the future. I know I did. I stumbled upon a blog post entitled Listen to Your Own Advice and loved the idea of the older me writing a letter to a younger me. Just like [...]
KitKat has always had a beautiful smile. She is confident and kind, and smiles openly and frequently. But she has spent many years being self conscious of her smile. When her teeth came in, it became very clear that she was going to take after her daddy’s side of the family. She was cursed with [...]
Stink bugs. They are everywhere. Everywhere! They stink. A few other things that stink: Broken dishwashers Failed electrical systems in houses 4 hours of sleep at night Dirty bathrooms Lost things Peeling nail polish Forgetting to transfer the laundry to the dryer (eww! stinky!) Headaches Backaches Obligations that prevent nap-taking in the middle of the [...]
I’ve never been one to use big words. I have a decent vocabulary, but for the most part, I stick with the same old words day after day. I was surprised, then, when I read A blog post entitled Top 10 Non-Words of 2010, since some of the words that I use regularly were just [...]
I told myself that I was not going to blog today (we’re heading out to a BBQ and parade with friends shortly) but I felt compelled to share this really cool Labor Day deal from Groupon. If you’ve never used Groupon before, here’s the 10 second scoop: Sign up for free and get local (or [...]
Back-to-School week is officially over in these parts. The kids survived the first five days of school (they loved it, in fact!). I’ve added the last giveaway of the week (Phew! That was intense!) and now it’s time to wrap up last week’s giveaways that have ended recently. Winners, Winners! I’ve got winners! The winner [...]
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ll admit it: I have cell phone envy. In the last month, I have been the owner of 4 different cell phones. FOUR. I started the month out with the Blackberry Flip that I’ve had for quite [...]
Yesterday, I noticed that my lower back was killing me. The kind of back pain that elicits a scream every time I bend forward. (I’ve been doing a lots of knee-bending the last two days). I noticed the pain while I was at a BBQ/pool party, and figured it was from carrying AJ around the [...]
My friend, Safire, is back with another guest post this afternoon. And guess what? She has tons of giveaways happening on her brand new blog, Water Falling Up, this week, including a giveaway coming later today for an Ergo baby carrier. I almost wish I had another baby just so that I could win it. [...]
