This is my mom.  Isn’t she lovely? I tried to think of different words to describe her in this picture, and I think lovely sums it up so well. Do I look like her?  I can only wish. And still, she continues to be lovely in my eyes. Please join me in my new Timecontinue…

Mama Kat said, “Show us your red, white, and blue!” So I looked back through my folders and found these beauties. July 4th of 2011, I was pregnant with my 3rd.  We lived in a condo, so the community had a BBQ that day.  We decided to do the BBQ but skip the fireworks show incontinue…

I was looking forward to going to the park to watch the fireworks just like last year. However, as my husband promptly reminded me, I didn’t really like the parking situation, drunk/obnoxious people, hike back to the car, and long traffic lines after the show. So we decided to spend the day at my parents’continue…

This is my brother and me. It was his 4th birthday.  I was 6 (and a half). I love how happy we both look here.  I think it was the balloons! Please join me in my new Time Travel Tuesday link-up! It’s sort of like throwback thursday or flashback friday, except it’s on Tuesdays and accompaniescontinue…

If you’re like me, you take pictures everyday using your phone.  As much as I’d like to use my DSLR, it’s just not as accessible as my phone, you know? Also, I don’t always have time to get on Photoshop to fix up my many shots.  So for me, photography apps are a MUST oncontinue…

Sometimes, we all just need something really simple to organize our blogging thoughts.  That’s why I made this monthly blog calendar with a simple categories checklist. It’s widely known that a great blog must be focused on content.  The goal of this calendar is precisely that – to help make sure I have content in everycontinue…

I’m a busy mom of 3 (soon to be 4). As much as I wish I could spend more time sitting in front of the desktop, I can’t. This mom needs to move. But, wherever I am, I usually need access to the internet.  But the problem with my tablet is that when I havecontinue…

With a very nausea-filled first trimester of pregnancy coupled with homeschooling woes (we are so behind) and a toddler in the terrible twos going on thunderous threes…it was hard keeping a happy and cheerful disposition these last four months.  I did not want to be touched, talked to, made to smell, hear, or taste anything,continue…

Sophie turned  the big 5 last week.  And since we didn’t have a party for her, we pretty much did little celebrations here and there for a week.  She loved it. 1.  One year makes a big difference! 2.  Bead bracelet present = getting along with big sister! 3.  Bowling fun for the first timecontinue…

One reason I love digital photography is that it’s very easy to look back through the years and see how much has changed… Or how much they haven’t. This photo of my son was taken last May 2012 – two months shy of his 1st birthday. All he could do was crawl, but that didn’tcontinue…
