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.
I haven’t been enjoying this beautiful time of year as much I should lately. Typically stuck behind my computer all day, I am missing some of the most beautiful scenery the Washington DC area has to offer. Luckily, last weekend I was able to take a leisurely walk at sunset around my hotel on the [...]
The following reflections were written by my husband. You can see my own reflections on Remembering September 11 on 5 Minutes for Mom. Decisions Can Have a Lasting Impact Ten years ago… I had just celebrated my 30th birthday. I was returning to work, after recovering from hernia surgery. I was working on Holocaust restitution [...]
After a whirlwind of a camping trip that I can’t seem to stop blogging about, my dad came into town, followed by a short visit by my sister and her two kids. Rather than stay home in the air conditioning, we opted to take the group of 7 kids to the Dulles Air and Space [...]
Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays! Why? Because I LOVE the USA! (Plus, the fact that the kids don’t expect candy or presents when they wake up on the morning of July 4th is a HUGE plus now that I’m a mom) We woke up early this morning to attend the annual 4th [...]
I’m usually not the stand-out, adventurous type, but apparently I’ll do just about anything for my local blogging friends. On Saturday, I headed north to the latest Momz Share event with a few of my favorite local bloggers. The theme was the 80s, and I made an attempt at going for the early 80s look [...]
There have been plenty of times in my life as a mother when I have wondered where money for milk or bread was going to come from. But somehow, thankfully, something has always fallen into place and I’ve had food to feed my kids. We’ve had challenges, but we’ve also been greatly blessed. Not every [...]
After a morning blogger event in DC, I joined a few of my local blogger friends for a quick drive down to the National Mall to see the last of the season’s cherry blossoms. Note: no drive to Downtown DC can be considered “quick.” In fact 5 miles in DC will usually take about 30 [...]
I was faced with a dilemma this morning. The kids were out of school, and several of my friends had planned a trip to take all of our kids to DC for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. I wanted to go. Three of my kids really wanted to go (three of my kids have best [...]
All too often, when there’s a day off school (especially in the Winter), my kids and I sleep in, watch a movie or two, and (maybe if we’re lucky) bake some goodies together. Today, in honor of President’s Day, and in an effort to create some memories with my kids, I decided to take advantage [...]
The other day, I posted about the trip that my kids and I took to the National Harbor to see ICE at the Gaylord National Resort. Since there were so many pictures, I didn’t do the beach shots justice. (When I say beach shots, remember that it was around 30 degrees outside) Apparently, this enormous [...]
