Let’s face it, Lucy tries to wedge her way into being star of the week every week.But you have to admit, she gives me some pretty good material to work with. Name: Lucy Eyre Favorite Past Time: drawing…not only on paper, but on walls, chairs, cabinets, and most of all her shirts and legs (those…
At some point in my post-college days my family went to see “O” (the Cirque du Soleil production that takes your breath away using a huge water pool on the stage in conjunction with all the creative things they do). And they had the nerve to go without me. I don’t remember why I wasn’t…
Ok, on to what I’ve been trying to get a second to write about forever: My biggest epiphany from Women’s Conference. It was interestingly the same thing I think about all the time…except a little bit re-worked. It is to “Be There” and to “slow down on the multitasking.” Let me explain. Iris Krasnow is…
Ok, so here’s my little run-down on photo equipment for those who have asked. My sixth child, oh, I mean, my camera is a Nikon D200. I love it with all my heart. I don’t even want to look at all the upgraded cameras Nikon keeps spilling out because I am happy as can be…

I mean, seriously, I don’t think there’s a single…
I’m home, totally and completely rejuvenated.…And I adore these girls even more than I did before I left. My amazing sisters. I have SO much to write about, but I’m heading up to hang with my husband who put up with me being gone so long. And man oh man am I ever thankful for…
Oh boy this has been quite a trip.Let’s just go ahead and start with a little photo disclaimer because not only did I not have my sixth child (my big camera) with me, but I accidentally had my little camera set on this little thumbnail setting. That equals pictures that are all “pixelated” and broken…
When I was growing up, carving pumpkins and painting Easter eggs were some of my favorite holiday traditions. Something about that creative outlet…creating something from a blank slate…a blank pumpkin, or a smooth, plain egg. Well, because of that you can bet your boots we don’t take our Easter egg coloring lightly around here. I…
