New Adventures

It has been many moons since I posted anything in my blog. Life has been uber busy. We moved 2 hours away to the foothills of Virginia. I finished my 1st year as an art teacher. Above my desk.  I had my 3rd child, sweet little Scarlett, on April 22.          

Three hundred and five and six

These two shots were taken at the same time. Man, I needed a hair cut and some conditioner. I’m not very found of either one of these photos. They both pretty much blow toes. Both were taken while on a walk with my kiddos. My daughter got hurt or was crying about something and that

Two hundred and ninety-five and six

Both of these photos have the commonality of children. I love 295! My daughter was home sick and we were snuggled up on the couch. I love her little arms and hands laying on the blanket and my hand gently touching her wrist. She is three now and even though she can drive me absolutely

This photo is horrible, but it documents life with a 2 year old. This morning I was at work when I got a call from my husband. My daughter had some how managed to slice open the back of her head on the entertainment center. This was the second time she would be needing a

I love this photo! It was one of the first cool days of late summer in Virginia. My daughter and I were sitting on the bench swing at my parent’s house. There is something magical about a cool summer day. It makes you realize Fall is coming soon. The changes of the seasons are always special, no

One hundred and forty-four

 When your daughter is as smart, sweet, silly and cute as mine it’s hard not to take photos of her and with her. She’s usually my photographic subject. I love my kids with all my heart. Wow that was super cheesy. Not the greatest photo, but it’s a special moment in time. They don’t stay little for

Eighty-eight & eighty-nine

This was a very warm, sunny day, especially for winter. My children and I went out to play and enjoy the nice weather. My daughter and I were in the front yard. I had my camera, of course. These two shots are from that day. In the first photo I like the sunburst, but not completely happy with the overall

Story of the Cornucopia

A few years ago my son, Aidan made a paper cornucopia and I always hang it up for Thanksgiving. It has been sitting on the counter waiting to be put away. This morning Aidan was looking at it. I said it was a cornucopia and he laughed and said I was making it up. He said

Over the last year or so I’ve started changing the way that I cook. Instead of always doing what is easy and pre-made, when I have time, I really take my time and add ingredients that I never used before, experimenting like a mad chemist. Since my husband’s return from Iraq in June he too has joined the
