How is the manual setting working for you? Have you started to get the hang of it? This is part three of our trilogy of Aperture, ISO and Shutter Speed. Shutter Speed is exactly how it sounds…. it controls the speed in which the shutter opens and closes. The longer it stays open …
You may remember last week when I talked about Champion for Kids Jennie-O Make the Switch Challenge and how I had given up buying chips for the month of May. The whole challenge is about giving up something that is not really healthy and switching it for something healthier. Then you can use the …
For the last several weeks I have been baking like crazy. I am not really sure why (other than my sweet tooth), but I think you’ll be glad that I did! This recipe stemmed from my love of Cookie Dough and a recipe that I shared a few weeks ago for a “Not-So-Raw” cookie dough …
There is nothing better than sitting on my porch in the afternoon while watching my kids play around the yard (for recess)! Well, unless you include some yummy Mocha Iced Coffee, then it’s even better! I often start to drag after 1 o’clock and this ritual has become the perfect “pick me up”. Other than the …
I am so excited about this picture frame! I think it turned out super cute!!! I thought of making this frame because we have a small wall by our front door that was looking very plain. I thought that a new picture frame would really make the space pop! Plus I always look for ways …
So… this recipe was actually linked up 2 weeks ago, but I kept thinking about it and decided that I NEEDED to make it! The original recipe is by The Pioneer Woman and Kristin from Homespun with Love made this and posted it to her blog. Her picture- OH SO YUMMY!!! After seeing …
If you know me well you know that I love photography. I love learning more and more about this art and I enjoy taking lots of photos. One area that I am particularly weak in is Food Photography. I do take lots of pictures of food and most of them are great, but there are …
It’s almost Mother’s Day and this year I decided to do a little patio spruce up. My patio was looking rather drab and boring. I could sit down, but there was no place to lay a book or drink. When the kids are playing outside I really need a place where I can just sit …
My mom is not really hard to buy for. All she really wants is pics of the girls or something thoughtful. This year I am getting creative and making her something she can display for years to come. I came up with this Watering Can Photo Gift and I think it is SO cute! …
I hope you had a wonderful week! I have a real treat for you… Watermelon Pie. I got this idea from a post that Dorothy from Crazy for Crust linked up. She made Alligator Pie. I used her same recipe, but I changed the colors. As you can see she does a much better job …
What a great weekend! We had so many great links! I picked some that seemed really fun for kids since I need to start gathering ideas for this summer… and a few baby items too- just cause I couldn’t resist! 😉 Just look at this amazing Carnival Birthday Party (complete with petting zoo) that was …
This CUTE Duct Tape Belt is a simple craft that anyone can make with just 3 items! My girls and I are going crazy over these duct tape belts and they are so easy to make that we have already made several. Think of all the different designs of duct tape belts you can make! …
This creation was made lovingly with help from my kiddos Kare Bear and Pinkie Pie! This is part of our feature called Cooking and Crafts for Kids! These brownies are SO wonderful. They have FUN written all over them. Kids can get involved by putting on all the toppings- or for the older kid they …
This picture below with the girls is what our weekend has looked like so far! April showers showed to be a true statement in our neck of the woods. Not only showers, but severe weather too. This is not the type of weather that I would allow my kids to go play out in! We …
