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.
My journey as an eBay seller… After my 5th child was born back in 2005, I discovered and fell head over heels in love with a brand new trend – baby wearing. Yes, mothers have been wearing their babies for ages, but it wasn’t until my last baby was born that I started seeing women [...]
When we graduated from college and made the trek across the country to settle on the East Coast, we left all of my extended family back in the West. I loved growing up with my grandparents and aunts and uncles and dozens and dozens of cousins. Holiday meals together, vacations in Tahoe together, and plenty [...]
Some people would cringe after hearing what I’m about to say, but I’m going to stick with my opinion here: A good deal of my family’s best bonding time is spent on electronics. I used to think of technology – television, computers, mobile phones, iPads, iTouches, etc – as isolating devices. Often they are. But [...]
We’re a little obsessed… Let me start off my saying that this is not sponsored. True story – I was looking through pictures on Instagram the other day when I saw a photo that cracked me up. The caption mentioned an app called OldBooth, so I checked out the App Store on my iPhone and [...]

I never expected a can of shaving cream to bring all seven of us together at the same time, inspire so many smiles, and turn into something that the kids would be begging to do again next week. An innocent cleaning out of the bathroom closet on my part became one of the best nights [...]
I volunteered as a parent-helper for school picture day today. I think I’m rather pictured-out, too. Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless Wednesdays all over. Are you playing along with Wordless or Wordful Wednesday today? Link up! Want to grab my button?
I am convinced that the iphone is helping me document my life like nothing else. Despite the fact that some of my family members complain that I am taking too many pictures with my new-ish phone, I am sold on it….and mildly addicted to sharing everything from funny kid quotes to pretty views on Instagram.
