Baby’s First Internet!

Oh my. This is just cracking me up. Baby’s First Internet - check it out! (Link via MishMish.)
Not sure how to explain the internet to your young ones? Presenting a series of nursery rhymes to teach children how to comport themselves on the online.
Do not stop to think or edit:
You must be the first [...]


Flat Feet…

Even though I haven’t been picking up the knitting needles often lately (definitely not as often as I would like), I always look for knitting shops whenever I visit a new city. My trip to California allowed me to visit 3 great shops, and I’ll be sharing details of each one as I photograph [...]


Baby In a Tube…

Wow. I still remember when the first test tube baby was born, and how controversial it all was at the time. Now the first person conceived via IVF, Louise Brown, is 30 years old.
I know many people that have used In Vitro Fertilization to successfully have children, so it is hard to believe [...]


What a Carp Pedicure…

This is just crazy. This salon in Virginia uses tiny carp to nibble the scaly skin off of your feet. I can’t decide if I should say “eewwww…” or if it is a fabulous idea.


My Latest Plane Ride…

I had the most surreal plane ride yesterday - a wonderful flight, even though they made us sit on the runway for 40+ minutes before we took off. I sat between a rapper and a man with a 2 lb. Maltese teacup dog, Cupcake.
And if that doesn’t sound like the start of a crazy [...]


Kate & John’s Wedding!

Oh goodness, how much I adored working with Kate & John - their wedding last weekend was gorgeous! Want to see more from their big day? Check out the full post!
While I don’t normally get into editing my photos too extreme - I like to keep the colors natural - I decided to [...]


Fifty Most Influential Female Bloggers…

I am finding all sorts of great sites on this list of 50 most Influential Female Bloggers - but I have to confess that I squealed out loud (and twittered my excitement) when I saw that the Yarn Harlot, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, is listed as number 15! FIFTEEN!!! That is so awesome!
I still remember commenting to [...]


Wholly Matrimony!

I haven’t been over here the past few days because I’ve been over there. Where? Wholly Matrimony!
Wholly Matrimony was started in 1998 by Robyn. As her life changed, the site lived a quiet existence. Her two sons, who are less than two years apart in age, took up all of her free time [...]


Finding The Perfect Gift…

Ok, I have to confess that sometimes, I really struggle to come up with the perfect gift. I am always overwhelmed by too much “stuff” and most of the time I would rather let someone just buy exactly what they want instead of coming up with something for them that they don’t really need.
I [...]


Refresh…

I needed a change. White and light. And so once again, the blog is sporting the a theme by Derek. Much more design work ahead this weekend with some big things to announce in the near future.
Oh, the suspense.

Bear Dog and his owners, Kate & John, have photos from their Houston engagement session [...]


Boom De Yada…

We downgraded our cable last week. No more HD cable, just extended basic only. I already miss HD cable (even though I only watched it a few hours a week), so we’ll see how long this lasts.
I caught this commercial while watching the latest show on Discovery Channel about NASA and the space [...]
