I told Xander it was time for a nap. He tried to convince me I meant a nap in the chair. Just a quick crop and miniaturize effect added using Camera+ for iOS....

Every Mother’s Day since I was little has involved a trip to a local amusement park. Today was no exception… though it made for a chilly day. Xander loved the rides last year, but he was very hesitant to go on anything this year. After much coaxing, we...

Well, it’s a happy Mother’s Day to myself! After months of working hard to earn over $250 in Amazon cards through Swagbucks plus a lovely visit from the Hobmother, I finally had enough to buy myself a FitDesk. The FitDesk is an exercise bike combined with...

I took a ton of very uninteresting photos today. I finally decided to tackle cleaning out my son’s closet… getting rid of the clothes that no longer fit him. I have stuff from size 3 months to 3T! I listed them all on a local mom group and sold only one...

I took several photos today that I was going to use as the photo of the day, but the last photo I took ended up being my favorite. Ross was getting Xander ready for bed and Xander was doing all he could to prolong the process. An amusing bit of mimicking and chatting...

More playing around with iPhone apps. This one, called WordFoto, cost me $1.99, but I’m loving the possibilities! You upload a picture or basic artwork to the app. Then you choose words that represent that image. Those words are superimposed over the...
