I haven't done one of these in a long time, so how about some long overdue happy. Exploring outdoors helps everyone in our household. Engaging with nature is centering and peaceful, and it certainly appears to have that effect on my children. By hump day, I couldn't face our dining room table and homework and … Continue reading What’s Going Well Wednesday #WGWW — on Friday!

Happy Earth Day – in a slightly tardy fashion
This is a shot I took last weekend when I was exploring behind my house. It would be a bit disingenuous to refer to this as "my back yard" since technically it's past our property lines, but isn't it simply gorgeous? The canal feeds into the Wilmington River and is one of several canals that … Continue reading Happy Earth Day – in a slightly tardy fashion
Island Winter Dreary
The boys and I spent an afternoon at Tybee Island last week. We typically head that way for beach fun, but it was too chilly for that, so we waved at the ocean from the bridge and explored elsewhere. They hit the playground while I played with my camera, and then we all took a … Continue reading Island Winter Dreary
The Blizzard’s Lesson
Check out this fabulous post by my partner, Maggie, over at Live. Snap. Write. I hope all of you are staying warm and surviving winter (or summer for many of you.) It hasn't snowed in Coastal Georgia, but if I never see another rainy, overcast day I'll be okay. However, Maggie helped me shift my … Continue reading The Blizzard’s Lesson
A Snippet of Joy – #WGWW
***Updated since yesterday's original post*** The weather has been a bit wonky here, and I spent much of yesterday fighting with my WiFi. I finally gave up and uploaded pics from the mobile WordPress app on my phone and called it a night. Now I'm having trouble editing (reducing the size) of the pictures. Anyway, … Continue reading A Snippet of Joy – #WGWW

September Randomness: Goodbyes, Job Possibilities, and an Alternative Menstrual Device
I'm craving downtime. September has been a bit insane as far as my family's schedule. I want to jump off of this roller coaster, but it's not happening. Since I last posted, we celebrated Piers' 7th birthday, went to Atlanta for the weekend, hosted a going away party for Maeve from Fiji, who happens to … Continue reading September Randomness: Goodbyes, Job Possibilities, and an Alternative Menstrual Device
Capturing Action
My children are rarely still. They sleep and that's about it. One of the things I love about my camera is that (occasionally) I'm able to capture them on the move. And sometimes I get a clear shot, but unfortunately not as often as I'd like. Gil takes great shots of objects -- buildings, architecture, … Continue reading Capturing Action
I’m On a Mission
I take lots of pictures. Notice I did not say, I'm a photographer. When my oldest son was born, Gil and I had a decent digital camera. It was a Fuji, point and shoot, and it was fine for my limited technical knowledge. I found the baby phase a little tedious. Obviously I adored my … Continue reading I’m On a Mission
