Tuesday morning I woke up from a deep sleep with an immediate feeling of panic. “Ugh,” was the first thought that ran through my mind. “I can’t believe we’re sending our kids to school today.” It was kind of ironic actually. Not that many years ago, if I had heard that some kid at the…

Recently, I was talking to some friends about photography and I mentioned that the most time consuming part of photography for me isn’t shooting photos. I typically spend significantly more time on the editing process. I really love editing photos in Photoshop. I try to keep my photos as true to reality as possible, but…
When people ask me what my favorite type of craft project is, it’s always a little hard to answer because it doesn’t fit neatly into one category.

On the last day of summer break, I spent four hours floating in circles around a lazy river. For the first two hours, I was with my two teen-age boys and my son’s girlfriend, and the last two hours I got rare and cherished one-on-one time with just my 15-year-old son. We talked about their…

If you follow me on Facebook, I’m sure you’ve already heard more than enough about all the fun we had this summer making a short film for a local film fest. But there are several things about this experience I don’t want to forget, and that’s where my blog comes in! Since we heard about…
What do you do when the forecast for the last 48 hours of your vacation calls for nothing but rain? I don’t mean just a little rain. I mean every single hour for 48 hours straight, the chance of rain is nearly 100 percent. You could do what normal people do. This is why towns…
When I was a kid, it seemed like every summer my family would pack up the family station wagon and head to the Smoky Mountains. These adventures always started with a 3 a.m. departure. They always included a stay in the most amazing hotel my mind could conjure that was right by the rocky river…
