Beach Getaway Printable
It’s certainly taken me long enough, but I’m finally learning that I will get out of the house and to the shore much more quickly if I delegate the boys’ own packing duties to them. However, I also know that if I give them an instruction such as “pack a bag for the weekend,” what [...]

As I mentioned yesterday, we’re in the middle of an ice storm here. Schools are closed, and there’s a layer of the slippery stuff over everything in sight. We’ve had so many snow days in just a single month, that the kids will be in school until July at this rate. So, winter is not [...]

Picture the Holidays started this week, and here’s what I’ve got so far: Day 1: Holding onto Gratitude Day 2: Reframing the Season Day 3: All You Need is Love I am not sure what it is about the “Picture” classes, but I find I spend a lot more time in post-processing with these shots [...]

Let me share what I’ve been playing with today, because I think it’s really nifty.

I’ve been hinting about this for a few weeks, and I’ve even had it up and running for the last several days. You may have noticed, if you’ve been poking around or if you read my blog on Facebook, where I gave everybody a little sneak peek. It’s official now, though: welcome to the Grand [...]

I usually like to get this Friday post done bright and early, but I have to admit, I completely forgot about it until I woke up this morning, and then there was the usual business of making lunch and ferrying children to deal with. You know how it is! So, here is this week’s Friday [...]

I hope you haven’t been too anxious for the next Morning Coffee reader interview. I do have one more to post, but I didn’t do it last week because of Labor Day, and I didn’t do it today because I spent my whole weekend otherwise occupied with family stuff, followed by nerdy stuff. Next week, [...]

Since I haven’t been doing anything these last few sweltering days that is worth talking about, maybe you’d like to see some more of my Picture Summer shots? The first three were here. These are all in response to daily prompts. So far, I don’t feel like I’ve taken any earth-shatteringly fabulous pictures, but for [...]

Over the last few years – ever since I began blogging regularly, really – I’ve been working on improving my photography skills, both in the taking of the pictures, and the processing of them later. On the one hand, I think that you should be able to get a fantastic shot straight out of the [...]
