A Little Bit Of Everything

One of my goals for the new year was to devote more time to my creative outlets. This was suppose to include blogging and subsequently I want to write more in my blog (oh no, she wants to write, GOD help us!) instead of just taking pictures.

A week into the new year and so far I have only thrown up a Macro Monday post. I guess I need to give credit where credit is due, though. I mean, at least I actually took macro photos! PROGRESS!

I have some ideas stewing for how to allow me to continue having crafty time while I am buried up to my neck in school (which starts in a week – ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *breathes* hhhhhhhhhhhhhh).

I know that between school, kids, work, and life all the fun things like reading (I really MUST finish The Wheel of Time), crafting, blogging, photography, and video gaming (I will finish Zelda this time!), will get lost! I have a week to get my stuff together and get as organized and balanced as possible!

To go along with simplifying/organizing life I am in deep purging mode right now. If I don’t throw out a black trash bag of stuff every other day or so I get twitchy. 7 days into the new year and I have cleaned and organized 2 junk drawers, the master closet, and the garage. I AM UNSTOPPABLE (looks around nervously to see if Karma/fate/God heard that – knocks on wood)!!!!

Anyway, hopefully by putting it out on the blog that I will actually blog more this year will make me more accountable and so I will actually do it. I doubt it but one can dream, right!?

And since a wall of text is boring and it might have been a TLDR scenario (To Long – Didn’t Read, mom ;p). Here are some pictures of my youngest from the snow that we just had this weekend!

Macro Monday – Snowflakes

It’s been awhile since I posted one of these. Not for lack of good intentions but a lack of time! However, the second I opened my eyes and saw that it was snowing on Saturday morning I hopped out of bed, threw on some clothes, went outside with my camera and froze my butt off! It’s so hard for me to take snowflake macros because I am so cold that I can’t hold my hands still and I get all kinds of glorious motion blur. I know, I know, you’re thinking, well why not just take out the tripod and set that up. I don’t for several reasons, but the main ones are that it was too cold to mess with it and I am too lazy!

Anyway, enough with the chit-chat! On to the snowflakes!

Baking Cookies For Santa

I contemplated putting the baking part of my title in quotation marks because it was really just taking it out of its package and rolling it out and cutting it into shapes. But I mean, I did bake it so…

Anyway, we baked cookies for Santa today! The kids each took turns rolling out the dough and then they picked out a cookie cutter and got to cut out the shapes! After they were baked and we had decorated them with colored sugar they each got to have one to eat. I wanted to take a picture of each of them eating the cookies that they made but I made a huge mistake and took pictures of Emma eating hers first. I only took 2-3 pictures, it took no more than 30 seconds and when I turned to take Jake’s picture with his cookie I found his plate empty, his mouth stuffed full, and colored sugar staining his lips! Lesson learned, take his picture first!
