Ignore my singing.  Ignore my poor camera skills.

Isn’t she the cutest?

Perform and then get rid of the paparazzi!

Family Friday

Last weekend at the Renaissance Festival:

Sydney looking cute.

Skyler hanging with Gramma & Grande.

Grande is pronounced like the large coffee.  Or maybe the medium coffee.  I’ll just be honest and say that I never know what size I’m actually going to get in those places.  I just order [...]

Tips for Toddler Entertainment

If you’re a parent of a kid who is more than a year old, you can probably relate to this.  We take quite a few road trips, and over time I’ve had to come up with ideas to keep the experiences positive.  Try going anywhere for longer than an hour, and it’s a noisy, rowdy, [...]

The Inaugural Wednesday Words Challenge

Sometimes I can be all over the place.

A Mommy Moment

I love taking pictures of my girls.  Sometimes I’ll kind of set the scene a little bit, by letting them play with something new or dressing them up.  I haven’t had to do much of that lately, because as they’ve gotten older, they love having their picture taken.  The other day at the park, I [...]
