Garden beauty

I’m exhausted right now, so this is a quick one. I worked today, then cleaned the house (a little bit!) to be ready for having our families over for dinner to celebrate Andy’s birthday. I’m falling into a food coma now, fueled by grilled marinated chicken, corn on the cob, Sun Chips, fresh fruit, Mikes […]

You Capture: Motion

Another week, another challenge. And this one was a little bit of a challenge. But when we were at the water park yesterday (more on that later), I thought I’d take advantage of the thousands of times Noah went down one of the water slides (Caden wasn’t much of a fan!).

[…]

Dilly-dilly

This is the lavender in my mom’s garden. I so love my mom’s garden. I wish mine could look as nice as hers. But she’s got a bit more of a green thumb than me (as well as a little more disposable income to allow for assistance from a professional landscaper!).

[…]

Not much to say…

So it’s only the third day of NaBloPoMo and I’m so exhausted right now, I’m not so excited about blogging. Don’t ask me why I’m exhausted, I don’t know. I went to bed at a reasonable hour last night, got up to Shred with Jillian Michaels this morning (I’m gonna be sore!), I worked a […]

Sports fun

Okay, I’m gonna go out there and say I’m trying NaBloPoMo again this month. 31 days, 31 posts. We’ll see how it goes. I’ll try to keep it somewhat interesting!

I was reading a post by Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry and realizing I’m feeling like she is right now-uninspired. It may be […]

You Capture: Black and White

This week we were given the assignment of having fun with our processing. It was time to play around and make some pictures black and white. I’ve been taking a lot of pictures lately that I didn’t think should be put into black and white because the colors are so vivid. Here’s […]

You Capture: Shapes

I wasn’t sure if I was going to participate in Beth’s assignment this week. I wasn’t sure I could come up with something for the challenge. But then I remembered this sweet pooch from Bastille Days last weekend.

Meet Sophie. Look at her unique marking on her side.

I […]

A really fun day

***Warning! Numerous photos in the following post! Proceed at your own risk!***

This morning, we ventured out with my parents to Veteran’s Park in downtown Milwaukee to check out the Circus Parade Festival. The Circus Parade used to be an annual event, then took a pretty long hiatus, and is back this year. It’s happening […]

You Capture: Photographer’s Choice

After a couple of weeks off, and many days of no blogging, I’m back! Seeing as we were on a CRAZY COOL trip last week, I think I have an excuse!

This week’s challenge from Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry was “photographer’s choice.” My choice is to share some shots […]

You Capture: Nature

Our assignment from Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry this week was “nature”. Quite a bit easier than “feel”!

I was practicing my sun flare for this shot. I love my lilac bush right now-it smells AWESOME! And it’s right below our bedroom window so our room smells really nice! […]
