I couldn’t resist the cool, clear morning so we got dressed and ventured over to the playground… K had it all to herself so I called her “Queen of the Castle”… A role she is all too happy to fulfill! p.s. This is the extended backyard of our next-door neighbors (who have many grandkids!) and…
The Ladybug Dress
I found this dress at Goodwill on one of my trips to Austin last year at the same time that I bought this one. My parents have an AWESOME Goodwill near their house. I just thought it was so cute with the rick-rack and the ladybugs and little daisies. Plus? It was $3.99. So yeah,…
Easier
I commented to a friend of mine the other day that things are getting “easier” as the kids get older. I think what I really meant is that things are easier now that G is in Kindergarten. I don’t mean that in a mean way, I’m just saying the boy takes a lot of energy…
Toddler Times
She was my last baby and now she is my last toddler. Soaking it up. Even the epic meltdowns. But mostly the snack eating, book “reading”, occasional t.v. watching, coloring, etc, etc, etc…
Hello?!?
Hey!! Tap. Tap. Is this thing on? Wow, I feel like a week of my life was stolen from me. Seriously. At least I conserved make-up. 🙂 For a day or so I was in and out of consciousness while wearing a sweatshirt and fuzzy socks, at the end of August in south Louisiana (completely unheard of…
A Slight Reprieve
There have been just a few little signs that Fall is on the way around here lately. I know. I can’t believe it either. I mean, this is SOUTH Louisiana after all. But today I found the temperatures in the earlier part of the day to be quite pleasant and I went to get the…
The many faces of Kate
I took a few pics (try 50) of K today to practice some new things I’ve learned about using my camera lately and bokeh and lighting and all that. (more on that later). I bribed her with chocolate. Works EVERY time! (well, except with potty training…) And yes, there are more pics of her on…
A New York State of Mind
Just a few favorite images from my trip to BlogHer last week. p.s. Thank you SO MUCH to the sweet and beautiful Heather D. for going on a way-too-short but very informative photo walk with me on Saturday!
Capturing the Moments
I load the pictures and get excited to see what I see. I make lighting and color changes and adjust and adjust. I click over adding my watermark after I am happy with the changes. I put it out there in some way, either here on the blog or on one or more of the…
Play time
I got my big girl camera out today. It felt so nice to caress its black plastic again and adjust settings and click the pretty silver button. Oh my. Anyway, K and I decided to redecorate Dora’s casa and then G crashed our party. So I took some pictures. And now my Nikon isn’t nearly…
