Lately, I’ve been doing most of my scrapbook layouts with only a couple of photos. A lot of my recent layouts have been about relationships and I find it easier to focus on the story when I only use a photo or two. But since I just got back from vacation with dozens of photos,… Continue reading A Multi-Photo Scrapbook Layout
I have wanted a DSLR for years, but there were two reasons I was hesitant. They have so many bells and whistles and I didn’t know if I wanted to take the time to learn how to make it work. I was worried I wouldn’t use it enough to justify the cost. On the other… Continue reading My DSLR and a Photo Challenge
It’s been seven days since my first Week in the Life ended. It was an amazing experience and I have no doubt I’ll do it again and again. There were so many lessons I learned and a ton of great people I connected with through the project. I was torn about whether I should do… Continue reading Week in the Life Lessons
This is it. Saturday. The last day in my very first Week in the Life. I managed to take photos everyday and, while I’m not thrilled with every single one, there are some I absolutely love. There were times I forgot to take pictures and times I didn’t think of just the right picture until… Continue reading Week in the Life- Saturday

Tuesday didn’t start off like most of my Tuesdays. I’d spent the night before at my sister’s to watch my niece and nephew. I slept surprising well, considering I was a little worried about getting up and making sure the kids got off to school on time. Turns out, there was nothing to worry about! Both… Continue reading Week in the Life- Tuesday
Another day in the books. This was not a normal Monday for me. Usually, I close at work on Mondays, which means a little sleeping in. But another manager is on vacation so it was up and at ’em bright and early. I’ve been wearing contacts since I was 14. I’ll save you the math-… Continue reading Week in the Life- Monday
