In this post I decided to talk about some of the basics to photography. I was pleasantly surprised from all the emails I got from everyone asking me basic questions about photography from my first post. First off I want to apologize to some of you that I haven’t gotten back to. I promise I…
My kids are in love with finger painting prints. They literally won’t stop making them. It must be the ooey gooey goodness of getting your hands dirty. Or maybe it’s the surprise of the swirling colors when the print is made. Even I made a couple. I couldn’t resist! Here’s how to make them. Get…

One of the most helpful blogging tips I ever learned was how to easily adjust the size of my pictures in Blogger. So, today I thought I would share it with you! I was too lazy to open every picture with Photoshop and adjust the size, so I would just go with the default sizes…

We have a post office box the mailman has never laid eyes on. It’s our family mailbox. And through it is exchanged all kinds of magical post. Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s magical letters to his own children, I’ve taken to leaving notes for the children here and there. A family mailbox made the magic official….
