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.
Mother’s Day is coming in just a few days, and this year my husband has even more pressure to make the day special as he’ll be spending the day with TWO of the mothers in his life: me, the mother of his children, and his own mother. I think I’ve talked about the fact that [...]
Please don’t be jealous. I have the best mom in the world. I would celebrate her every day if I could. I just wish that we lived closer together so that we could capture MORE memories like these. Mother’s Day will be here before you know it. Have you started planning for this year’s [...]
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 [...]
I’m not a big fan of surprises….for myself. But I love being part of a surprise for someone else. I was so excited to find out that I was chosen to participate in a blogger Secret Santa program with JCPenney. Yes, I admit that I LOVE shopping for other people. It’s one of my favorite [...]

My kids and I traditionally decorate our Christmas tree together each December.

We were sent a recycled cardboard Christmas tree from Cascades Boutique [...]
Today two of my friends, Caroline of the Bingham Diaries and Elisa of Crazyland (both ladies run Mormon Mommy Blogs and the Casual Blogger community and conference together) are appearing on television to introduce a new project that they are working on called Return to the Family. In today’s world, the family unit is often [...]
I’d love to introduce you today to Kelly Boyd, owner of the San Francisco-based company My True Nature. Kelly recently sent me a sample of Milo’s Natural 2-in-1 Holiday Shampoo & Body Wash and Bobo’s Natural Holiday Baby Bubble Bath, which have come in very handy with 5 mess-prone kids. Ok, honestly 3 of my [...]
Holiday gift guides are everywhere this time of year. Sadly, though, with as many kids as I’ve got, none of them seem to cover the entire range of ages that I have to buy for each year. As much as I would love to make our trip to Florida the family Christmas gift, I know [...]
