Reality after 5 kids… Yesterday I stumbled upon a post on Babble, written by my friend Casey Mullins (aka Moosh in Indy) on what postpartum bellies REALLY look like. The photos of other mothers inspired me, and although I am 6 1/2 YEARS postpartum my stomach still does, and always will, bear the scars of [...]

Note: These pictures are just cool shots I took at the park this week. AJ grabbed my hand and pulled me over to a branch that had some pretty cool “carvings” on it. I told him they weren’t carvings, but we did have fun contemplating what they could be (like alien markings!). But that is [...]

The most exciting thing that happened since my last Project 365 update was the birth of my newest nephew on the 26th, so I had to include a picture of my brother with his two boys in my 365 weekly round-up. I am so thrilled for their family! Also…I’m pretty proud of my Valentine’s inspired [...]

This winter has been odd, to say the least. We’ve had snow three times so far, and none has lasted longer than a day and a half. So I didn’t complain about this week’s snow quite as much as I normally would in January. This week, our snow storm brought out one of my favorite [...]

This week has gone by in a blur of sick kids, sick moms, and finals at the high school and middle school. But I stayed true to my project 365 (+1) and took plenty of pictures everyday. This is my week, minus the tissues and the blankets and the absence notes and car rides back [...]

Believe it or not, I really did take pictures with my real camera this week (quite a few of them, in fact). I believe that most of those pictures were of food, because suddenly my oldest daughter and I have become Pinterest fanatics and can’t wait to recreate some new Pinterest recipe or creation each [...]

So far, so good. I am loving capturing a snapshot of each day with my phone, and I’m still totally excited about making it through the whole year without missing a day. Think I’ll make it? This week was not overly exciting, but this is what life is really like in my house: Saturday – [...]

It’s a new year, I just got a new Android Smartphone with a cool camera and fun photo apps, and I have been hearing a ton of buzz about Project 365. I tried completing a Project 365 a few years ago and only made it a couple months. But that was before smart phones. My [...]

The kids had the pool to themselves for an hour….there’s nothing better than doing tandem cannonballs in the deep end with your siblings! This phone shot was taken at the pool in Florida on our last day, just hours before we headed home to Maryland. For more inspiring photos, check: 5 Minutes for Mom, High [...]

We just rolled in to Maryland earlier today, and BOY is the temperature difference between here and Florida drastic. In fact, less than an hour after arriving back home, snow started falling. I think we were all ready to turn back around to enjoy a few more days of Florida temperatures and sun. I’ve hardly [...]
