This year marks the second year that my wonderful group of photographer friends and I will continue our blog circle. This year, we decided to have different topics to shoot and along with these topics will be different photography techniques that we will employ in shooting. We decided to do this in order to drive…
Greeting and Happy New Year! A few months ago, our blog circle decided to do a secret santa project. We all logged onto a website, registered and the site randomly assigned us a secret santa. Our mission was to buy our person a gift, send it off and document it for our January blog circle. …
When I saw our topic for this month was family, I thought I could take pictures of my own family; we haven’t had our family pictures done since….Um…well, I think my youngest was a newborn. We’ve had the obligatory church directory pictures done, and a snapshot here and there of us for special occasions like…
What is motherhood to me? Where’s my glasses? What’s for supper? Cold hockey arenas. Lots of time in a car. I need $20. I need $5. Can I have people over? I have to be home by WHAT time? Windy baseball games. Thousands of dollars on sports. How did this dent get in my car? …
I think we’ll all be heading over there for breakfast! LOL I love that image of your munchkin just peeking over the counter. Must be an everyday perspective of yours! So sweet. And I definitely love your perspective of motherhood with flaws – and how YOU deal with those – make them do laundry! Brilliant!ReplyCancel
Heidi you are giving me a vivid picture of what lies ahead! I am going to copy you and get my boys to do their own laundry. Also I haven’t eaten breakfast and you are making me crave for your eggs, sausage and toast. You get such beautiful light in your kitchen! I love the photo of your son peeking above the counter.ReplyCancel
Literature. It amazes me when I hear people say they don’t like to read. I often ask why, what is it about reading that you don’t like? Why don’t you like to be taken away to another time, another country, a situation that is so far removed from your own. I don’t really recall when…
I so enjoyed this post. Thank you for mentioning it in the comment on my site, Heidi. I too don’t remember being read to (I was one of 9, there wasn’t much time for reading to kids) but both my parents were passionate readers themselves and I’ve come to believe it is just as important (if not more) for kids to see their own parents make time for books if we want our kids to be readers.
Loved this peek into your bookshelves, both past and present. Hope you’ll continue to share when you find new books to love. Are you on goodreads?ReplyCancel
Heidi – what a beautiful and thoughtful post! I loved Kite Runner too. I also read the same books as you growing up – loved Little House on the Prairie, Nancy Drew and of course Judy Blume. You can tell your books are very loved! I love the different perspectives in your images. The first one of your son is my favorite.ReplyCancel
