» Continue ReadingA warm thank you to all the encouraging comments from yesterday’s post on our family’s time of change. I’m blessed and humbled by your kindness and prayer support! ***************************************** So, onto a lighter subject: How to get beautiful curls in the morning after sleeping with your hair in a sock. Yes, I know you’ve been dying to know. I discovered this little video tutorial through Pinterest: Sock Bun Curls No Heat I’m too lazy to take pics of each step when you can watch the video, but here’s the basic idea: …roll you ponytail up in the donut…get some rest…and wake up with this: No heat. No pain. No cost. Lots of curls. Later in the day, I got snazzied up in my Chinese Mandarin dress to be a guest speaker on China for all the little Kindergarteners at our school.

» Continue ReadingPeach, coral, apricot, blush….You’ve seen it all over this Spring and Summer. Fashion is so circular. Don’t you remember when peach was all the rage in the 80s? I remember having a peach Forenza t-shirt from The Limited as a middle-schooler. I thought myself a super-model when I wore that t-shirt. I’m barely fitting into any of my pre-baby clothes. All of you mommies out there can sympathize, I’m sure. Spending money on clothes (that I will hopefully not fit into someday) is not tops on my priority list, but wearing sweats all the time is not an option either. So…I am tickled pink, or should I say peach, when I find new clothes on super sale. This is what I’m wearing today. It’s from The Gap. It’s apricot. It takes me back to the 80′s, minus the super-model part. It cost me $15, total. That’s the way I do […]

If you are like me, you’ve probably got a diaper bag and often a purse already, and the last thing you want is to carry a ginormous black camera bag that screams, “Look at my photography gear!” At least, that’s how I feel. I’ve spent a little time doing the research online, and thought I’d share my findings with you: For the stylish photographer, if you don’t mind carrying yet another bag for a camera (or the hefty pricetag), here are some of the industry’s most fashionable options: Jill-e Bags Kelly Moore Bags The Shootsac Here are some less fashionable, but very functional options: Lowepro SlingShot 202 AW (The SlingShot is the one we […]

» Continue ReadingWe’re planning on having a quiet night at home with the boys on Valentine’s Day. I’m so looking forward to expressing to my boys that they exist and love life because their mom and dad exist, love God, and love each other. I think I will express that to my family by grilling up some steaks. That’ll do it, don’t you think?
