Family Photography Tips

Family photo photography tips ideas

My dad is a shutterbug and he definitely passed the gene down to me. Even before Sweet T was born, I kept a camera on me at all times and loved nothing more than to blog and scrapbook the photos. Now that Sweet T has joined the family, my photo-taking fetish has increased; though ironically [...]

Toes

Sweet T is obsessed with having her toenails painted! If I leave my manicure bag laying out she’ll bring bottles of polish to me shouting “Toe! Toe!” Purple seems to be her favorite color (I’m not sure if it really is or if she just likes it because it’s one of the few colors she [...]

Easter Fun

Hope everyone had a happy Easter! We started the day off with Easter baskets in our PJ’s and let Sweet T enjoy a Lindt chick for breakfast. Don’t worry. Chocolate for breakfast won’t happen again until November 1st. Sweet T also got Play-Doh and hair elastics in her basket. We’re keeping it low-key and cheap [...]

Sweet T’s First Egg Dye

Easter was a fun day when I was growing up. I may have been an only child, but the thrill of getting an Easter basket and going on an Easter egg hunt (sometimes two!) wasn’t diminished by that.

“Mama!” “Come in here sweetie. Mommy’s getting dressed.” “Maaamaaa!” “I’m in here!” “Maaaamaaa! Poo-poo!” “Come in here so I can change it.” “MaaaaaaaaaMaaaaaaa!!!!” She was waddling her way to me (no poo-poo thankfully) and instead of putting her out of her misery I laughed and took a picture.  And yes, that’s a Christmas pajama top [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Chocolate Tears

Mom brought Sweet T a Pediasure shake (so she’d stay away from my Slim-Fast!). She thought the bottle was empty before handing it over to her but it wasn’t quite. “Why do they call it a “shake” if that’s not what you’re supposed to do with it!!”

I wonder what she’ll write about: cloth diapers, chicken nugget preferences across the fast food industry, or why Eeyore isn’t as respected as Tigger?

Wordless Wednesday: Grandmother Bracelet

This was Sweet T’s Christmas gift to her Gigi. Pretty creative of her ! The “t” needs to be flipped around. The bracelet and charms are from Brighton.
