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.
With five kids and two adults in the house, I could spend most of my day, every day, doing laundry. The saddest part of that statement is that it is not an exaggeration. It’s hard to comprehend the shear amount of clothes, towels, sheets, socks (etc, etc) that we go through, but I figure it’s [...]
Alternately titled… “How to make homemade notebook paper” Today was an odd day. I decided to force myself to take a nap (I was significantly sleep-deprived after a really late night. Long story).
