Through the Lens Thursday: Packed

  During our family photo shoot, one of these kids was packed with attitude. Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that I’m doing again this year. Next week’s prompt is ALIVE.

The Beginning of the End

Four years ago, my whole family (parents, siblings, nieces and nephews) took two giant passenger vans down to San Antonio for the Thanksgiving holiday.

It was a long trip (we got stuck in Austin traffic for a really long time), but we did a lot of fun stuff and all of […]

So Very Thankful for…..

1. Name a color you are thankful for.

I’m thankful for blue skies, blue eyes. I’m thankful for brown hair, brown dirt. White wine, white clouds. Yellow cheese, yellow sunshine.

2. Something your spouse does that you are thankful for.

This is a very specific example, and thankfully does not happen regularly, but […]

Please Don’t Feed the Animals #iPPP

A Family That Runs Together…

My mom and I did our second 5K this morning, and the big three kids ran in their own races. It was put on to raise money for a local moms’ group of which we are not a part. But, we’ve been working hard lately and thought it would be […]

Labor Day Blowout 2012

As I mentioned before, we do Labor Day big in my family. Every year it’s different, but for the past 15 years, we’ve always done something.
