Our next book club meeting is coming up fast and I hadn’t even picked up the book yet. So we made a little trip to the book store on Sunday to nab it and I put it on the bedside table for the night’s reading. By the first paragraph (they […]

Photo adjusted with my previously limited Photoshop knowledge Photo adjusted after reading a couple of chapters of a Photoshop book I don’t think I could ever just stick my CF card into a printer and push “PRINT”. There’s always something you can do to improve the quality of the photo. […]

Every year, one day before the big day, my client does something oh, so generous. Today was the day. They free up the pop machines so you can just push a button, without putting in any money, and get a freebie. (Yes, I said “pop”…I’m from Michigan and that’s what […]

A couple of weekends ago, whilst shopping with my mum and aunt, I came across the coolest, hippest kids’ furniture at the annual UCIA Holiday Artists’ Market. They offer cool tables, chairs, step stools and storage racks. In four snazzy colors: the green you see above, blue, yellow and orange. […]

Those little sparkly out-of-focus things there are the GREEN-wire lights. As opposed to the stupid ol’ white ones I bought yesterday. So I’m mostly happy. Half the ornaments are up. The one pictured above being the first that the little guy brought over to me to hang on the tree. […]

I swear that someone or something or somewhatever is conspiring against me. All I wanted was my one month of holiday festivity. Is that too much to ask? Apparently.

My husband skipped town for some content management conference. What does that mean for me? Single motherhood! I’ll report back to you in a couple of days to tell you if I’ve survived.

A couple of weeks ago, my son’s daycare teacher sent home a sheet of poster board with each family. The aim was to get everyone to put some family photos on it and make it look nice and cheerful for the classroom. Fair enough. Because I shoot digital and it […]

There are many reasons why I haven’t been so up-to-date with this site during the past few weeks. Heck, it’s hard to balance everything, which I’m sure everyone can understand. But my biggest reason is a rather lame one: I’m addicted to Harry Potter. How insane is that? When on […]

One of my son’s Halloween props When I was a little tyke, I avoided embarrassment at all costs. And, if something happened to put me in that predicament, I usually ran away, thinking that everyone would be laughing and pointing at me. With age comes wisdom, eh? I’m pretty sure […]

They thought I had corn. Apparently they were hungry. Each and every last one poked his/her little head out of the fence and gazed at me woefully. Lady, where’s the corn, eh? Sadly, I did not have corn. Just my trusty Nikon. More pics from our recent pumpkin-patch excursions.
