Project 365
February 17, 2012"As one of my more ambitious goals for 2011, I decided to take part in Project 365--a photo a day, every day, in 2011. It was way more challenging than it sounds and I can't tell you how many times I was scrambling to take picture at 10 pm so I didn't miss a day. [...]"
Easy Homemade Valentine’s
January 20, 2012"Last year I saw the cutest idea for Valentine's Day cards. Unfortunately, at the time, Bink was at a daycare with one other child and K was too old to pass out Valentines in school. This year, mostly because of Pinterest, I started seeing ideas for Valentine's Day way earlier than I would have ever [...]"
Our Week Through Instagram
January 18, 2012"I wrote a post last week that illustrated our week through Instagram and I kind of loved it. It was fun to go back through my phone pictures to see what I'd snapped, especially since it is what I grab to get a quick shot of Bink when I know I don't have time to [...]"
Santa, Baby!
December 20, 2011"For Bink's first Christmas we took him to see Santa and he loved it. He dressed up, was all happy smiles and coos, and we even ended up with our holiday card picture for that year. Last year, Bink was... less enthusiastic. He was tired of waiting in line, unhappy to have his picture taken, [...]"
Happy Thanksgiving & Family Portraits
November 24, 2011"To entertain you this Thanksgiving, I thought I'd share pictures from our family portrait attempt this past weekend. A few weeks ago, Living Social was running a really inexpensive deal for a portrait package at The Picture People. I ended up paying $5 for a small print package, which I figured would be worthwhile since [...]"
Photography vs. Snapshots
November 16, 2011"I started an intermediate/advanced level digital photography class at our local community college last night. As hard as it is to carve an extra three hours a week to devote to this class, I'm really glad I did (especially since come March there will be even less personal time to go around). The first half [...]"
Messy Moments
November 09, 2011"Life with a toddler is basically one long stream of messy moments. First birthdays... Ice cream treats... Finding the chalk... Playing in the bathroom... Even eating breakfast... And while the messy moments aren't always my favorite to clean up, sometimes they end up being some of my favorite memories. I posted this picture at the [...]"

Pumpkin Patch
October 19, 2011"Last weekend, my Mom and I took K and Bink to a pumpkin patch. It is the same pumpkin patch that we took Bink to last year. In the moment, he just looked like my Bink to me. But then I got home and looked at last year's pictures from the same trip. Who is [...]"
Bink Reading
October 03, 2011"Lately Bink has decided that he wants to "read" books on his own. Usually that means looking at the pictures and telling me what he thinks is happening. For some books that we read a lot, he has clearly memorized at least some of it, because he gets the gist of the story right on [...]"
Preparing for Halloween
September 30, 2011"I kind of adore Halloween. It is probably my favorite holiday, right up there with Christmas. Except Halloween is just so much less stressful, so it is a little easier to enjoy, without having to worry about gifts and wrapping and Santa and whatnot. I tend to be an early planner for Halloween. Last year, [...]"
Perfectly Imperfect
"I have a confession to make: my handsome, little son is a morning person. Like a leap from his bed, greet the day with a smile on his face, ready for anything type of morning person. Usually right around 4:30 or 5 am. As you might have guessed, I am...not. I tolerate mornings out of [...]"
September Quarterly Top 5 Link Up
September 28, 2011"I always love these quarterly link ups hosted by Courtney @ Click It Up A Notch, Amber @ Amber’s Articles, and Sarah @ Nap Time Momtog. Mostly because they force me to go back through my pictures, which is always fun. Most of these you all have seen before, but not all of them. July--An [...]"
The Best Sound Ever
September 21, 2011"First, my apologies that I couldn't find a cooler way to share this. I've tried and tried to find an embeddable audio player, but no luck. So, in it's humble glory, here is the audio that Hubby took during our last doctor's appointment. (In theory, if you click the link, it should take you to [...]"
Wordless Wednesday: Toddler Toes
September 07, 2011"I painted my toenails turquoise the other day and, of course, Bink wanted his done too. Figuring we're the only ones who really see his toes, I didn't see the harm in it. The next morning he saw my hot pink fingernails and begged me to paint his pink. I drew the line there. But [...]"
