“Mom, can I put on my swimsuit and go run in the sprinkler?” “Sure, I need to water the front anyway.” Doesn’t she need to water the back? Certainly it needs it more. “I wanna go out back though.” “I just watered back there yesterday honey.” Well never mind then. I’m not going out front…
My First Photo Shoot (well, officially anyway…)
Tim sent me a text a few weeks ago stating that a friend of ours wanted me to take photographs of her in her wedding gown. I believe my text back to him said something like exactly “She’s kidding, right?” She was not. So…. On Saturday the beautiful bride-to-be put on her gorgeous gown and…
Bonus
There are days when my current “job” is hard-ish. Sometimes I wish for the times when I could get dressed every morning, have coffee in my office and eat lunch out with other adults at a decent restaurant. I miss feeling like I’m contributing to something “bigger”, more substantial. More significant. But then I snap…
aPearantly Sew… It’s a Giveaway!
Part of the reason I really like going to blog conferences is because you never know who you’re going to meet that you didn’t even know existed out here in the “internets”before. It’s inevitable because there are just SO many blogs out there. AND… You might just sit next to a cute and lovely lady…
Girl Time (with a video!)
We spend time playing in K’s room many mornings. It’s just so bright and cheery in there and well, I admit, I kinda like the girlie-ness of it all. Sometimes I walk into her closet just to take in all the pink and flowers and polka dots. What? Don’t judge. You’d do the same after…
Butter & Onions
The sun streams through my west facing bedroom window, bright and blinding. I can sense it through my still closed eyelids and rebel at the thought of opening even one of them. I wish I could get up without moving. I feel my full bladder. The thought of placing my cold toes on the warm…
Birthday Smiles & Sparklers!
I posted this at the beginning of the week but realized that it works great for You Capture this week since we had LOTS of FUN! It was a weekend full of smiles. Someone I know, who may have been born seven years ago, had a great birthday and enjoyed his day to the fullest. …
Happy 7th to my 1st!
This little bundle made me a “Mommy” seven years ago today. This is one of my favorite pictures of him ever taken (at age 2). He no longer has those two front baby teeth. Today he is a soccer playing, reading, writing, joke-telling, brother and sister-loving, sweet, sensitive boy. His blue eyes are just like…
“Dank Oooh!”
That’s K’s way of saying “Thank You”. It’s the cutest thing on the planet. She’ll say it after I give her something. And then sometimes I say “kiss” and she pursers her lips and I lay one on her and then she smiles and says, “Dank Oooh!” Okay, maybe THAT’S the cutest thing on the…
I’m Perfect Because…
I found some dust on my new granite counter tops after the cleaning lady left the other day. I was so upset. What do I pay that woman for? To leave dust? I think not. And then the landscaper forgot to even up one of the hedges out front. I wanted to scream. Some may…
