March Madness

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #060 It’s hard to believe that it’s already the first of March.  We’re 60 days into the new year.  Two months have come and gone.  February was a bit of a crazy month for us; it will be interesting to see what this new month holds for us. I’m 60 days into the Mommytography 365 Project for 2011.  What I’ve learned so far is there is some incredible talent out there in the blogosphere.  A photographer I am not – at least, not yet – maybe someday.  I very much enjoy taking pictures and capturing moments in…

Mommy and Me Time

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #057 As Munchkin grows older, I’m seeing more and more how important it is for us to have “mommy and me” time. Typically, when I hear Mommy and Me, I think of something for younger kids, but the reality is that older kids need that special one-on-one time just as much as the younger kids.  In fact, I think to some degree they may actually need it more.  They need to know that although they are growing older they can be secure in the love of their parents. The importance of nurturing a healthy relationship and encouraging…
