Last weekend, we went to the zoo. Everett (age 9 at the time of this writing) asked me if he could take a picture. I handed him the camera and asked if he wanted to be the official photographer for the day. I shared some of my – limited – tips on using the camera, …

I always wanted one of those maps of the United States that you can stick pins in to mark where you’ve gone or where you’re going to go, or where you dream of going. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to look them up online, and was shocked to see that they cost $300+. …

The Beautiful Boy and Me

Day 10, Friday: Most embarrassing moment (s). Spill. So this will be brief. I’m already sweating. I like to tell people that my most embarrassing moment was the time I fell off the ski lift halfway up the mountain. It WAS embarrassing, and it makes for a funny story, one that’s easy to tell. But that’s …

A Moment

Day 9, Thursday: A moment in your day (this can be just a photo or both a photo and words) Today we took the kids to the local aquarium. It was a good time (it always is), as was the nice Mexican dinner we went to afterward at a little delicious hole-in-the-wall place that we hadn’t …

Unsolicited Advice

Day 8, Wednesday: A piece of advice you have for others. Anything at all. The word ‘advice’ kind of makes my skin crawl. I know, I know… we all give it, we occasionally ask for it, we sometimes find it helpful. We sometimes find it darn near life-changing. But I hear the word, and I think …

The One About Fear

Me? I’m scared of everything! I’m scared of what I saw! I’m scared of what I did! Of who I am! Most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way that I feel when I’m with you.** Day 7, Tuesday: The thing(s) you’re …

What I Do

Day 6, Monday: If you couldn’t answer with your job, how would you answer the question, ‘what do you do’? Last month when we were in Florida, we took a day-long tour of the Everglades. Shortly after we got into the van with our six fellow-vacationers, our guide (a fun and enthusiastic Floridian by the …

Day 5, Sunday: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them great? Why do you love them? If you don’t have blogger friends, talk about a real-life friend or even a family member. Just like with the quotes, I had trouble narrowing this one down. So many awesome blogs …

Here’s to the Crazy Ones

Day 4, Saturday: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it Quotes are one of my very favorite things, so asking me to choose a favorite is like asking me to choose a favorite child. I haven’t shared this for awhile though – and I do so love it …
