A photo without a caption is like coffee without cream

September 9, 2011

I want you to entertain me today. I was pouring over some pictures last night as I was trying to find the right “family picture” for my son to take to preschool next week. Some project they are going to work on. I’m assuming it’s about families. (And yes, I am a little giddy that [...]

BlogHer11: The Venue

August 11, 2011

Last year, after attending the conference in NYC, I was so excited to hear what exotic city I’d get to explore next. And the announcement was made: SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA! COME ON DOWN! YOU’RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT ON HOST MY BLOGGING CONFERENCE. I didn’t give it a second thought. Of course, I was going. I’ve [...]

The 2011 Type-A Parent Lovefest: What else we did besides learn

June 29, 2011

I’m back again to talk about the Type-A Parent conference. I tried to cram this all into one post but after about 1200 words or so, I thought that I might want to turn my thoughts into 2 posts. So here we go with part deux. I thought I’d go easy on you. Not much [...]

A Timeline of Messiness

June 16, 2011

I haven’t had the chance to participate in @adventuroo’s Capture the Everyday series in forever. It seems I’m always coming or going from somewhere these days. (Actually, as you read this, I’m probably on the road again to Baltimore.) I thought today’s topic, though was perfect for several reasons. It’s all about gettin’ dirty. I [...]

Capture the Everyday: Growing Like a Weed

May 5, 2011

When I decided to link up for @adventuroo’s photo assignment this week “Something You Grow,” I thought of a million things. Mold on very old food in the refrigerator My blog readership (okay, that totally depends on the month or even the post) Beautiful peonies in the flower bed Crazy horseradish under the deck stairs [...]

I love this planet

April 18, 2011

That title is not a metaphor for anything. It’s how I legitimately feel. I’m a conservative nature lover. Yes, I know that just blew your mind. I want to win the war and save the whales. I’m an enigma. I accept that fact. But seriously, I am a big fan of nature. I was actually [...]

Capture the Everyday: So many kitchen gadgets, so little time

April 14, 2011

Time to photograph a little bit of my life. Today’s assignment? Three Kitchen Items You Can’t Live Without I have a lot. We’re a gadget kind of family. Some are necessary. Some are fun. But in my mind these are irreplaceable. 1. That light colored blob is my egg slicer. Also doubling as a mushroom slicer and strawberry [...]

Capture the Everyday: It’s a hard knock life for us

April 7, 2011

It’s Thursday. And once again, I can’t resist the photo assignment draw of @adventuroo. This week our challenge is something that cannot be captured in one simple photograph. The challenge is to capture the technology that rules, I mean, adds to our lives. As you might imagine, we’ve got technology. And lots of it. So [...]

Capture the Everyday: Books I May Never Read

March 31, 2011

Hi, I’m back for @adventuroo’s “Capture the Everyday” meme. I love taking ordinary things and making them (hopefully) extraordinary in photographs. But in addition to capturing the thing, it’s also cool to be capturing the details, which is what Melissa originally intended for the series. Today’s post is all about books you’re reading. Meaning me. [...]
