Lunch Ideas for Picky Eaters
We are full on in back-to-school prep mode over here. I’m still in disbelief that I have a child old enough to be going to school full time. Where did my baby go?

I like to think I’ve smartened up a bit now that I’m a mom of three for 16 months….but I’m sure that’s not true. I feel like the more kids I have the more forgetful I get. Anyone else? One thing I’ve learned from carting three kids around all day every day is that there is no such thing as being over prepared when it comes to stepping foot out of ... Read More

How I Take Photos of My Kids
I get asked a lot how I get my kids to cooperate with all my photo taking. And I kind of chuckle a bit. Because yes, they turn out pretty cute, but dang, it's a lot of work and sweat on my part to get a good photo. And for every cute photo I take, I also take about 1,000 not-so-cute photos.
