Let’s Do 52! Un-Scripted

Well this may look a little different than usual. I typically try not to use posed photos for this project because that would be through my eyes and not my kids’ which is the point. But I took around 300 pictures this week and this is the one I...

Let’s Do 52! Sharing

Meet Bella, my beautiful niece! She may as well be Andrew’s sister since from the time she was born they shared a nanny and spent all day every day together up until Andrew went to school. But as cousins and neighbors (my brother and sister-in-law live only 4 houses...

Let’s Do 52! Daddy

I’ll admit, some weeks I have to purposely take a picture for this project. It’s not that I don’t take a lot of pictures, I do. It’s just that not all of them tell the story I’m trying to tell here. Well we just got back from Disney World....

Pin This

I’m addicted to Pinterest but it irks me that I never think of any of the cool ideas first. Well I don’t know if this is original or not but I was pretty pleased with myself for thinking it up and figured hey, might as well share. So you...

Let’s Do 52! Taking Chances

I had a hard time selecting a picture this week but what it came down to was this one and one of Andrew playing violin at his recital. Thankfully both captured the idea I was looking for– you’ve gotta take risks. You’ve gotta put yourself out there and do...

Confessions of a Gymboree Addict

I was at the mall the other day. It was just one of those trips to kill some time before picking Andrew up from school. There I was, pushing the stroller slowly through the fairly empty shops, contemplating the purchase of a Starbucks Frappuccino when all of the sudden...
