  • Attack of the fauxtographer…

    A friend of mine created this (undoubtedly) controversial blog on Tumblr recently.  Although it reeks of frustration, I think she does have a point.  I  honestly can’t say I disagree as I’ve seen some really awful family portraiture in my area the past few years.  I think it’s good food for thought.  Here’s part 1 of…

  • Sweet girl 🙂

    It’s almost Valentine’s Day, so what better way to prepare than to take Miss K’s portrait with lots of red going on?  

  • Forever and always…

    2009 marked our 15th wedding anniversary.  Since we eloped and never actually had a wedding, we decided to have a vow renewal at a local chapel!  

  • My scalp is tingling…

    Revlon Colorsilk haircolor runs about $3 at grocery and drug stores, but it’s either really irritating, or I’m allergic to it, because it makes my scalp burn like nothing else!  I’m no stranger to haircolor;  for the past several years I’ve been bleaching and dyeing my hair all sorts of natural and un-natural colors.  I…

  • Expensive end to our expensive trip 😛

    We came home to a non-working garage door opener and quickly realized that our electricity was off.   I called our electric company and found out that they apparently hadn’t processed my August payment, and even though I already made the September payment, they had disconnected service, without any warning at all. I get e-mail notifications from…

  • Vacation Time!!!

    Okay, so we don’t leave for almost a week, but I know that time will go REALLY fast! 🙂 My kids and I have been performing in our local community theater’s production of Oliver! so we’ve been extremely busy the past couple weeks with dress rehearsals, sewing costumes and the performances…so I’m a bit behind…

  • Gratitude

    So I missed logging a few days of my gratitude project, but I did jot my thoughts down on real paper 😉 over the past week…included them below. Today I am grateful for a day to rest, cook and sew.   My kids have a friend over–he’s such a sweet boy and I’m happy he’s…

  • Gratitude

    I decided to start a gratitude journal today.  I might express my gratitude in words, or pictures, or both…  🙂  I’m sure it goes without saying that I am very grateful for my family and friends…so I don’t want it to appear that I’m leaving them out or that I’m more grateful for the “things”…

  • You know you’re spending a LOT of time with your son when…

    …you inadvertantly call your husband “buddy” or “bud.”  Oy.

  • New year, new leaf 😉

    I know it’s only August, but it’s the start of *my* new year. 🙂 In 2011, my birthday cake was the last thing I ate before starting a new journey into a paleo/primal diet. I ‘fell off the wagon’ over the 2011 holidays and never really got back on. I was 50 pounds lighter than…
