Let’s hear it for Michelle!

I was able to get one guest poster for this week.  Michelle blogs at Gotcha Baby (her personal blog) and she also contributes to Grown in My Heart, which is an adoption network.
I asked her the same question I asked my guest posters from earlier this month:
Since hindsight is 20/20, what is the best “mistake” [...]

Grand plans

So I had all these great ideas of posts that were going to go up while I am in Prague.
Yeah, didn’t happen.
I have one guest poster for Tuesday (thanks, Michelle!) but other than that you are going to have to suffer one whole long big week without me.
Unless I post some pictures. Maybe. [...]

You Capture – B&W

I was so happy when Beth said that this week’s challenge was Black & White. I absolutely love B&W photography. I think it makes such a huge statement for something so simple. Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Alfred Eisenstaedt. If you think about some of the most famous, memorable photographs in American [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Buggin’ out

Jumping in

I like to take pictures.
In my wildest dreams, I would become famous for the amazing pictures I take.
Or, more accurately, my pictures themselves would be the famous ones.
So I keep taking pictures.  Carnivals like Wordless Wednesday and You Capture help me to challenge myself each week.  Eventually, I would like to take some classes to [...]

Marvel

Sometimes, I sit back and really watch Jake.
Today, I find myself in awe of the little boy he is becoming.
He is kind.  He is gentle.  He loves his friends.  He loves playing with his sister.
I love him.
I love how his body melts into me when he’s hurt.  I love how he’s learning how to help [...]

Fitness Friday

I am in a workout zone.  I’m really proud of the way I’ve been following through with what I’ve set up with so far.
While we were in Virginia Beach last week, I took a walk every day.  I even did some running while we were there.  Jake was like my own little reminder service.  All [...]

Breaking News: I’M AN IDIOT!

So, I was laying in bed at about 1am thinking about whether I wanted to have a giveaway for my upcoming birthday.  I thought it might be nice (I do love giveaways) so my thoughts immediately shifted to what I would give away.
I thought maybe it would be nice if I gave away a gift [...]

You Capture – Shapes

This week’s challenge was shapes…it’s pretty fun trying to find rectangles, triangles and half-circles at the park!

You Capture is hosted by Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry.
