Family, Photography, and Finds from a Professional Texas Mom Blogger
While in NYC, I quickly snapped a photo of the Statue of Liberty. I was on a moving boat that was still for all of 30 seconds, and I was soaken wet to boot! Anyhoo, I loved seeing the giant beauty and if I ever go back, I'll definitely take the time to see her up close and pay my respect to such a historic piece of our country. I've been … [Read more...]
In 2010, I took photos of a lot of faces but when I think about all of them, this one of Truett sticks out the most. I remember it so well because he had such a bad attitude that day. I know now that it was just him getting ready to be the rotten age of 4. Many of you know this age yes? They get mad when they don't get their way. They … [Read more...]
I'm taking advantage of this new D90 that Nikon sent me. It's definitely different than my dinosaur D70s but I love all the changes and extras on it. While at a recent ugly sweater party, I snapped a photo of this Coors Light can in the fire. I thought it made a pretty picture. I could have taken photos of the all the ugly sweaters I … [Read more...]
2010 is almost over and with that, I find myself reflecting on the things I've experienced and accomplished throughout the year. It's been a great year, however, I did find myself having mental exhaustion that affected me offline and on. It wasn't until recently that I nursed that exhaustion and so now, with a fresh outlook, I look forward to … [Read more...]

Carson Kressley is not only telling you "How to Look Good Naked", he's also telling you how to "Look Good in Pictures" and I hope he shares a few tips with me during my 7 minute interview with him at Blogher!

My husband and son were meant to live back in the olden days. Not this gal tho, no sir-ree! I just assume to live in the day of the iphone and airplanes. Anyways, don't cowboys and their gear just look better vintage style? It's like it takes you back to those John Wayne days, the days where people worked hard and had values. When things … [Read more...]

Sorry it took me so long to write this. I've been cooking for the ranch, tending to sick kids and now tending to my sick self. There were lots of great entries and I know the judges had a hard time deciding who should win. There were quite a few that didn't follow all the rules but we tried to cut everyone slack this first time around. Next … [Read more...]

I don't have a tripod so my sunset is a bit blurry but still worth looking at. There was no wind yesterday evening and it's was warm. I could have sat there all night, in fact, had I had some camping gear I might have slept outside all night. I've been having some back problems the last few days so I haven't got out to take any pics. I … [Read more...]

I'm feeling random tonight and not sure what to post about at the moment so I guess I'll show you some random photos:) Remember when I had the "Guess the Mountain Contest"? Well, I took a picture of the same mountain but with my new camera. I don't think it's a good picture by any means but it is much clearer. You can see a bit more … [Read more...]
