I love blogging and photographing my family, but sometimes I wish all three of us could be in the picture. When my husband’s away from home, and there’s a sweet moment that I’d love to capture on film with my son and me, it’s helpful to have a portable and flexible tripod.

Tajine dinners are one of my finest memories of my trip to France with Edward. We went in the Spring and traveled for almost 4 weeks – first in London visiting friends and then in France.

…because nap time and night time are a long time to go without a potty break.
Although my son wore most of his non-fitted cloth diapers for a very long time (4 months to 24 months), his bigger thighs have rendered most of the smaller cloth one size rather unwearable.

Having allergies to pollen or poison ivy or whatever it is this kid’s got is not much fun. To avoid exacerbating the condition, we’ve kept him cooped up indoors for most of the week.

Fresh squeezed orange juice at the peak of the season in winter is crisp and sweet with slightly tangy undertones. Have you ever had fresh squeezed orange juice from sugar red navel oranges or honeybells? It is a delight for the taste buds that every citrus lover must experience at least once.
