Over the holidays I let my flickr stream get a bit messy and as a result I haven’t really showcased some pictures from various events. This is one of my favorite pictures from Christmas. It was the evening we had raclette (which was a substitute for our Christmas Eve tradition …

2010 has begun and the gals at I ♥ Faces are celebrating their first birthday! I missed last week’s challenge, but really hope to participating in more I ♥ Faces challenges this year.
This week, as they get their birthday celebration going, they ask for our “Best Face Photo” taken …
One of the highlights of my Christmas was the gift my guys gave me. Damon knew it was something I really, really, really, really wanted and it was probably going to be obvious when he gave it to me. So, he and Fuller worked together to make the actual giving …
Wednesday the stomach bug hit Damon. It had already been through my sons, so I guess it would seem natural to hit me as well. I guess I had blinders on because for some reason, on Wednesday, I was already looking forward to Thursday and spending a snow day with …
As is the case with my side of the family, Christmas get togethers mean group photos. Usually in clothing my mom picks out and buys for us. This year I was able to assist in the picking out of clothes and my sisters and I received cashmere sweaters! (I’ve wanted …
I have no idea how this happens, but sometimes I will just get bit with a crafty bug that will not let up until I do something about it. Which is why, last Friday night, I was cursing my lack of kitchen space and patience while trying to make these:
They …
I keep reading more and more blogs mentioning their fun with digital photography. Tis the season, right? End of school year parties, summer outings, graduations, family vacations… it makes sense to me. People want to capture the memories and if the weather cooperates, you get some amazing pictures. Me, I’m …
A few weeks ago I was reading another homeschool blogger’s recount of visiting her area homeschool bookfair. What she was most excited about wasn’t drooling over the books and discovering new ways to teach her children, but meeting other homeschool bloggers!
I was a tad wistful, wishing there were homeschool bloggers …
It’s been a fun filled last few days with lots of offline interaction. Tomorrow is going to be like the last three days packed into one, but I’m looking forward to it. And hopefully I can rest on Sunday.
Today I had an excellent lunch with a friend and during our conversation I jinxed myself said I think things have evened out around here. I’m able to make it through the day an accomplish more than feeding the baby. In fact, I am able to do more than just …
Three months ago, around 4:30 in the morning it was raining. I know because Damon and I were trying not to get my pillow wet when we loaded into the car.
Three months ago, a little before 5 a.m. I met a woman who handed me a bunch of papers …
I’ve been having a lot of fun behind the camera lately. The trip to Texas really activated my shutterbug gene and it was on that trip I decided I really wanted a white balance lens cap. Since it arrived, I have really felt like my pictures have reached a new …
We went camping on Friday and prior to the trip, I had only one real worry: how would I get my morning coffee on Saturday morning. I could have worried about how Tebow would behave, the weather, or if Fuller would fall into a poison ivy patch. Instead, I was …
Sometimes Motherhood feels a little like this:
While trying to maintain the cycle of an attempted routine, you are also dealing with the ups and downs of life. And most of the time, it’s fun!
Mother’s Day was sweet. After church we were driving home and admiring how awesome the weather was. …
I’m back in Chattanooga now, having flown in from Dallas yesterday afternoon. As soon as we got home I nursed Tebow, chatted with Damon, and then changed Tebow’s diaper. I stood up to go put Tebow in his seat and tripped over my feet, falling forward. I contorted by body …
