Looks innocent enough, doesn’t she? The kiddo went wee-wee (or pee-pee or whatever anyone wants to call it) on the toilet at daycare the other day. For the first time. Major milestone. And he’s been increasingly concerned with his bodily functions in the past few days, repeatedly pointing out when […]
Hitting the Photoshop books
Photo adjusted with my previously limited Photoshop knowledge Photo adjusted after reading a couple of chapters of a Photoshop book I don’t think I could ever just stick my CF card into a printer and push “PRINT”. There’s always something you can do to improve the quality of the photo. […]
Greetings from Lucy
The anal part of me is really perturbed that the rug pad is peeking out from under there I really hope that y’all had a wonderful Christmas and a happy start to Hannukah! (And any other holidays out there since the all-inclusive “happy holidays!” is such a sore point this […]
It’s the little things
Every year, one day before the big day, my client does something oh, so generous. Today was the day. They free up the pop machines so you can just push a button, without putting in any money, and get a freebie. (Yes, I said “pop”…I’m from Michigan and that’s what […]
Not my favorite
Apple Cream Cheese Roll-ups Eh. I made these two years ago and I had some notion that I just HAD TO make them again. They can be a hassle, though. A lot to do with handling phyllo dough, but moreso the process of rolling them up. When you plunk the […]
Finally getting around to the baking thing
Some double chocolate chip concoction My friend had a birthday in late October. I was browsing the mall in search of a gift for her. I wandered into one of those lotion/perfume stores and was assaulted with…Christmas music. Before Halloween! I was appalled, honestly. I’m not in the mood to […]
Handmade goodness
A couple of weekends ago, whilst shopping with my mum and aunt, I came across the coolest, hippest kids’ furniture at the annual UCIA Holiday Artists’ Market. They offer cool tables, chairs, step stools and storage racks. In four snazzy colors: the green you see above, blue, yellow and orange. […]
The perfect photo that wasn’t
This shot looked magnificent in the LCD. I should know better. Double-checking is the best defense. Boy, is the focal point way off! I really wasn’t trying to highlight the goodness of the strawberry since the bread pudding itself was the star. This was the dessert that Tracy and I […]
OK, I’ve stopped hyperventilating
Those little sparkly out-of-focus things there are the GREEN-wire lights. As opposed to the stupid ol’ white ones I bought yesterday. So I’m mostly happy. Half the ornaments are up. The one pictured above being the first that the little guy brought over to me to hang on the tree. […]
The Christmas Tree Jinx
I swear that someone or something or somewhatever is conspiring against me. All I wanted was my one month of holiday festivity. Is that too much to ask? Apparently. First, my husband goes to some dumb (just kidding, honey) conference right after Thanksgiving so I can’t unpack my holiday decorations […]
A day away
Before I became a mom, I pointed my camera at all sorts of things. Since Dev flew in, though, I must admit that 95% or more of what I shoot is of him. Certainly this is because he’s such a cutie pie. But I welcome the opportunity to get out […]
