Through the Lens Thursday: Breakfast and Game

This is me being way behind and not particularly inspired. My breakfast for the last month or so: And…a bunch of games: Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that I’m doing again this year. Next week’s prompt is DRAWN.

Through the Lens Thursday: Triangle

I may have bribed him. We were going to the doctor for his four year well-child check, and our nurse had said that the “kindergarten shots” could be given at any time between ages four and six. I was already feeling so very behind, like a completely unprepared preschool […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Faded

I took this picture at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo last week, in the aquarium. I’m digging the faded, ethereal, rainbow-like quality. Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that Alison and I are doing this year (again!). Don’t forget to join our Flickr group or share […]

Through the Lens Thursday: 9 o’clock

It’s just after 9 am on the first day back after our last summer trip, which means it’s the first day of our back to school “retraining,” since school starts next Thursday and these kids are a good three hours off of their school schedule. Here we go. […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Sharp

The kids got their new glasses, shoes, and haircuts for school (starting in just less than two weeks). Don’t they look sharp? This was way overexposed, but I thought it looked kind of cool.   Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that Alison […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Vintage

My mom kept several of my old dresses, and because they’re in the closet by our attic, the girls see them and like to try them on. I could be wrong, but I believe my great-grandma may have made them for me. Through The Lens Thursday […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Dress and Four

DRESS (with an expert twirl): FOUR (misfits): And FOUR (years old): Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that Alison and I are doing this year (again!). Don’t forget to join our Flickr group or share your own posts if you’d like […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Fruit

This is totally late, and next week’s (DRESS) will be, too. Moving on. I’m completely failing as a gardener this year. Even though my dad and I made the vegetable garden a third the size that it was, with all of the rain and my lack of gardening skills, only […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Seasoned

I know next to nothing about parenting tweens or teens. I’m not ready for my kids to grow up to be adults. BUT, I do feel like a seasoned mother in general. You know, like a stone pan that cooks a great loaf of bread but will still burn a […]
