Through The Lens Thursday: Tall

Before I get into this week’s prompt, I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew my co-TTLTer’s news…Alison had her babies! She delivered her twins this week at 34 weeks, and they’re doing great. Still in the NICU but growing and feeding and getting stronger every day. Go show […]

Rare Bird, A Book Review

I think I discovered Anna’s blog, An Inch of Gray, after the freak accident that took her son. At least. that’s when I dug deep and read all I could, heartbroken for her and wondering how in the world she could find the words to talk about that horrible day […]

A New Study on BPA in Cash Register Receipts

This post is sponsored by the Mamavation community but all opinions are 100% my own (as if you ever doubted). Fun fact about me: I didn’t declare my major in college until either the end of my sophomore year or beginning of my junior year. As in, the last […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Black

I was inspired by Alison’s “golden” photos last week, to do something a little different this week for “black.” I used to sell Premier jewelry, and I have a…shall we say….extensive collection. I knew it wouldn’t be easy to capture the shimmer AND black color of this necklace, so I […]

Project 365: Week 36

We continued Labor Day weekend and ended the week having fun with some friends that came to visit. And you know what? I realized that on the last post, I ended the week with Sunday, so um….this one will be shorter. Heh. September! Sept 1 Bitty baby did SO well […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Golden

I went outside to take these pictures this morning as soon as I saw the sun coming up. I meant to just take a picture of the sunrise, since the long weekend threw me off and I had forgotten about this post until last night. When I got to the […]

Go Out and Play!

The kids have been back to school for about two and a half weeks. I’m exhausted, frankly, and so is the toddler that’s not yet in school. But the kids that ARE in school? They’ve got energy.

I don’t know where it comes from. They work hard all day, they have […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Texture

Just like last week, this was a fun prompt. I with I could do more macro shots, but my 50 or 35mm lens don’t really allow me to get super close.

But, I played around and this is what I ended up with.

Ivy’s new backpack is covered with different textures….metallic shimmery […]

Last Friday Night. (It was actually Tuesday night)

Last Tuesday night, on a school night (yes, yes it was), my mom and I took my two daughters to see Katy Perry at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. I had bought tickets months ago, thinking that it would be a really good birthday present for them (they both […]
