Also, please say hello to Mr. Oops I. Scalpedhim Evidently I am not to be trusted with clippers once I’ve let the boys’ […]

I have roughly ten minutes before the little one and I have to head off to Kindergarten Workshop – our school district’s excellent, parent-run, 3-morning program that helps prepare the kids (and the parents!) for Kindergarten. I went through it with Aidan three years ago, and now it’s Eamonn’s turn. Before we go, though, how […]

Today is Yellow day for Curious Bird’s color week. Not surprisingly, yellow was not the easiest color to find around this house. I thought of the first shot as I was dozing off last night, but the rest were scavenged in the few minutes before the school bus came. The school bus, which, now that […]

I found Color Week by way of Erin and thought I’d play, too. I really want to improve my photography, and taking part in simple little challenges like this is one way. This is Jack. He’s a life-size doll that my mother made for me. At least, he is life-size to a six-year-old. He’s a […]

Remember those “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful” ads? I remembered the phrase, but couldn’t for the life of me remember the product. (It was Pantene. Gotta love google.)

Another month gone by, another Color Challenge over! Actually, it’s been two months this time. KELLY GREEN was a fun one, and saw 320 photos entered into the pool. Yikes! I love how the challenge is attracting so many participants, but it certainly makes my job of narrowing things down much harder! But narrow it […]

There’s been a terrible development in my kitchen. The box of Dr. Pepper? It’s empty. I peered inside, felt around with my hand, picked it up and shook it. Confirmed. We are all out of Dr. Pepper. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I’m going to try to soldier on, and finish this post without my fizzy brown companion, but […]

I have a bit of a problem in my dining room. It’s called “Inability to clean up crafty messes when I’m done making them-itis.” Perhaps you can relate? My living room has been clean for months now, but I can’t enjoy it fully because my view from the couch is this messy dining room. It’s […]
