An Early Anniversary Surprise

Posted in Family, and Photography

On Sunday, Daddy and Munchkin headed out to the grocery store to get much needed groceries. Our pantry, fridge, and freezer were looking rather bare. Not having the staples is no fun. I made up a list of all the things we needed (at least as many as I could remember) because my head was hurting too much to venture out with them. Normally, sending them out for groceries is a tad dangerous as I never know what might make it into the cart, but this time very few extras found their way home. One of the extras was a…

Book Review: Titanic Warning

Posted in Reviews

Titanic Warning by Casey Sabella Book Description: Near midnight, the heralded and huge White Star liner Titanic, her invincibility never before in question, is a tiny speck on a vast ocean. Four days out on a much-anticipated maiden voyage, the luxury vessel has been fatally grazed by an iceberg. Labeled unsinkable by an adoring public, Titanic will plunge beneath the cold waters of the North Atlantic in under three hours.

What mom wouldn’t enjoy a nice massage for Mother’s Day (or any other time for that matter)? It’s not always possible (or preferrable) to head to a massage parlor for a little relaxation, so often a mom may need to look for an alternative. Wahl has designed a variety of massagers to meet the various needs of mothers. I was given the opportunity to test out the Wahl Deluxe Heat Therapy Massager which arrived right after we got back from a camping trip. The timing was perfect because I was feeling a bit achy – especially my feet which were not…

Introduction to PHOT-001: Food Photography by Sony

Posted in Photography

It’s no secret that I’m a foodie, and it’s probably fairly apparent that I enjoy photography. Pairing my passion for food and my enjoyment of photography only makes sense for me. When I was given the opportunity to be part of the first ever Social Fabric University Food Photography by Sony class, I jumped at the chance. It was an opportunity to learn more about background, lighting, styling, props, and technique. During the learning process, I would be building a portfolio, but more importantly, I would be gaining skills to help me be able to better share my foodie passion…

Taming the Tongue – not an easy task…

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

As I read this scripture passage this morning, I was reminded how easy it is to allow unkind, mean-spirited words to pass from my lips. In my heart, I want to be Christ-like in all I say and do. Yet, it’s not always easy to translate these desires into actions in my day-to-day life when things go crazy and people constantly act in a manner which cause stumbling blocks to others. Sometimes, stupidity seems to cry out for action. While there is a time and place to correct and speak out, more often, I need to quiet my voice and…
