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.
I took a walk down to the boardwalk with some new friends in Santa Monica this weekend. My purse had recently been flooded by an unexpectedly-open bottle of Diet Coke, and so I was traveling lighter than usual. My camera was around my neck and my phone was in my pocket. That’s it. But I [...]
February 29 doesn’t come around all that often, so a few of my blogging friends and I decided to do something a little out of the ordinary today. We’re all answering 10 questions about ourselves (thank you, Jessica!) and then hopping around to learn a little more about each other. Want to join in? 10 [...]
We haven’t had TV for years. We do have a television set. We just can’t watch anything on it except for DVDs and videos. Yes, we still have a VHS player hooked up to our TV. Some say we are living in the stone ages. (By the way, my TV is more modern than the [...]
When I was 13, I was sitting at home watching TV when the earth started to shake. Growing up in California, I had experienced plenty of earthquakes, but it didn’t take very long to realize that THIS one was different. It sounded like a train was coming through our living room. The solid marble entry [...]
I love watching movies at home. I put on a pair of comfy pants, sit down with my laundry and a bottle of water, and relax. I love the convenience (and the price!!) of redbox dvd rentals. What could be better than $1 movies? Free movies, of course! Now through St Patrick’s Day (March 17, [...]
I was reading Mom Spark the other day and came across a fun post: Coffee Mugs that Tell a Story. After reading Amy’s post, I walked to my kitchen, found my 6 favorite mugs, set them out on the kitchen table, and started taking pictures with my new iPhone. My kids apparently thought I had [...]
This is a compensated post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. The weather here in Maryland has been fluctuating between Spring-like sunny and late-Winter chilly. My kids and I have been enjoying those days of warmth and sun, and have spent many afternoons at the park (those March days [...]
And I am one of those people. I heard from a friend the other night that Target had a bunch of jeans on sale for $5. FIVE dollars for new jeans?? I’m in! I needed a few things at the store the other day, so I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and [...]
Last night after dinner, Twizzler (my 10 year old son) and I headed to my best friend’s house. Tonight is the annual Cub Scout Pinewood Derby and the poor kid didn’t have a car yet. The block of wood has been sitting on a shelf in our family room for weeks. Parent fail. Knowing that [...]
My kids love to check out books about dogs from the school library. Just the other day, Reese brought home an encyclopedia-sized Dog Breeding book, and while it was here, the kids couldn’t get enough of it. Reese even agreed to play with my hair (the ultimate mom-pampering time) if I would read her a [...]
