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.
Responding to a prompt from MamaKat’s Writer’s Workshop has got to be one of my favorite ways to blog. Most of the time I blog about things that have been on my mind for a while, or I review a product, or I tell a story about something that has happened recently. Writer’s Workshop posts [...]
One of my favorite things about Thursdays is that I get to play along with Mama Kat’s Writing Prompts, because she always gets me thinking about things that I probably wouldn’t have thought about otherwise. Take this prompt for instance: “List 10 rules you’ve unlearned (meaning 10 things you thought were expected of you or [...]
Spring Fever? Nope. That’s not what I’ve got. It already feels like full Summer around here, with several days of 85+ degree weather in Maryland (please, Utah friends: Don’t throw any rotten bananas or tomatoes at me for saying that. Remember that I did my time this Winter being stuck under several feet of snow!) [...]
MamaKat’s Writer’s Workshop prompt #1 called for a list of 10 things blogging has taught you. Here’s a quick list, in no particular order: • I have a social side to me that I never knew existed. Social networking? PR? Suddenly, I’m a pro. • I am good at something other than making dinner and [...]
MamaKat called for Whrrl stories this week, and so I figured I’d compile a few more of my Bloggy Boot Camp photos and make a whrrl story for you. Honestly, I admit: the second prompt (“Create and share a Whrrl story”) was the easiest for me, and considering I’ve spent so much time this week [...]
A few years ago, if you had asked me what I envisioned for the year 2010 I would have said, “More of the same.” Honestly, for me motherhood has been a lot of the same routine, day in and day out. Month after month and year after year. Motherhood has its highs and its lows, [...]
Mama Kat’s Writing Prompt #2 stuck out to me this week: Relay an entertaining conversation or string of emails you recently had with someone. If only….If only I had the chat stream between me and my friend, Safire, the other night. It’s a shame that the conversation is lost in Facebook chat-land somewhere, because it [...]
Once upon a time, I woke up at a decent hour and got kids ready for school. Once upon a time, four of my kids happily marched off to school and I was left at home with my youngest. Once upon a time, I ran errands at the store, took AJ to the Resource Center, [...]
This is me with my first 4 kids, after having baby Reese. For some reason, my hair was extra dark after having her! • • Until I became a mom, I didn’t know how tired I could get. I thought I was tired as a college student staying up late to study for an exam. [...]
I love Mama Kat’s Writer’s Prompts and the way they get me thinking….especially on days when I am stuck home with sick kids and think I don’t have anything to write about. Yep, that’s me today. Reese went into the doctor yesterday with a case of strep. The rest of our plans for the week [...]
