I started blogging in college. Make when MySpace was the cool thing and you could decorate your profile using crazy neon color schemes and backgrounds. Some of my sorority sisters read it and offered feedback, so I felt like a real accomplished writer. Then, when Little Man was born in 2008, I started another blog […]

5 Things Every Blogger Should Know

I have always had a love for photography. My mom had a fancy Canon Film Rebel back in the day and I remember feeling like a kid at Christmas the days that she would give my sister and me a roll of film and tell us to go play. We’d pretend we were high fashion […]

Move to Manual

In a perfect world, little boys would eat breakfast at the table without spilling milk and cereal all over the floor while watching reruns of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Team Umizoomi… In a perfect world, I’d cook at least two square meals a day for my family-Breakfast (the most important meal) and Dinner (a nice, […]

In a Perfect World…

Are we already through the month of January already? Someone, somewhere needs to slow things down a bit. I’m not even over Christmas yet and Walmart is already bombarding me with big, stuffed Teddy Bears and boxes of stale chocolate. I even bought Little Man a box of Mickey Mouse Valentines Day cards the other […]

52 Faces | Week Four

It’s no secret around here that I absolutely hated high school. I spent most of my time wishing that I could change myself…my circumstances…my life. Looking back now at both my high school career and my life as a “tween” (isn’t that the current term for that almost a teenager phase?) I wish I could go […]

6 Things I’d Tell a Younger Me

…More than once this past week, I reached a point of frustration beyond all others and told my son to, “just leave me alone.” …And then I watched Courageous with my husband and wished I could take the words back. If anything like that ever happened to my son, I don’t know what I would do […]

Confessions

Have I mentioned how much I love Feature Friday every week? It’s the perfect way to end out a week…introducing my readers to some of my favorite bloggers; meeting new bloggers coming over to visit from other sites; being able to take the day “off” from blogging (if you can call it that) because I have […]

Feature Friday | Proudest Parenting Moments

I have to start by saying that this is the last set of pictures I’ll be taking…with my Canon Rebel. Because I ordered my new Canon 7D on Tuesday and it will be here before next Wednesday’s Project 52 shoot! I. am. ecstatic. I’ve been itching to upgrade for months and months and months, especially since I […]

52 Faces | Week Three

I have been one busy lady since right before Christmas. I took the week off during the holidays (from designing…not from answering email or I’d never get caught back up) and have been hard at work since. Since December 15, I have completed and launched TEN SITES, including redoing my own. Instead of posting each […]

What I’ve Been Up To…

The Creative Mama

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done Feature Friday. With the holidays, New Year, and all of the work I’ve been doing, it’s been hard to keep up with and find new bloggers to spotlight. But, I’ve rid myself of that problem and have several PHENOMENAL bloggers lined up for the next few weeks! I’m […]
