Brotherly Love

by Monica on February 13, 2011

I love looking at the fabulous photos over at I Heart Faces. I hide in the shadows and drool over the “real” photographers’ challenge entries.

Gulp.

And just like that, I dove in. I’m entering one of my favorite pictures of Split and Snap. I love the way they’re holding hands with outstretched arms. I love the fact that I accidentally got the depth of focus sort of right. I love how these precious identical-on-the-outside but spectacularly unique-on-the-inside boys are looking at one another.

Oh, and I also love that this week’s challenge theme (red) is to raise awareness of Go Red for Women.

So. Tada! My first entry in an I Heart Faces photo challenge. I know I’m not a “real” photographer. I don’t own a big girl camera. I only kind of know what aperture really means. But…isn’t this just darling?

The Latest in Yard Decor or You May Be a Redneck if…

by Monica on September 3, 2010

I’m showing you here because you’re not likely to see it in Better Homes & Gardens or Southern Living. No, this is beyond them. This is the very latest in yard decor. And I just KNOW you’ll be wanting to recreate it in your own front yard, so I tried to get a detailed photo.

Ladies and gentlemen…I give you the flower pot(ty).

Not only is this porcelain vessel perfect for showing off those lovely plastic flowers, but just think how handy this could be for kids playing outside! They wouldn’t have to track dirt on your floor running back and forth to the indoor potties!

A better example of both form and function in lawn ornamentation has ne’er been seen.

And you saw it here, folks. Do I aim to please or what?!?

Pop Goes the Sweet Pea

August 6, 2010

Actually, it’s more like Pop throws the Sweet Pea. This was the trick du jour at the pool today. Cool, right? I can’t believe our summer break has come to an end. I’m going to miss our fun-filled days at the pool. We’ve lived out loud this summer. And it’s been AWESOME. Kids who were [...]

Memorial Day 2010

May 31, 2010

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once [...]

New Life

May 6, 2010

Our bird eggs hatched sometime yesterday! They look a bit like alien babies at this point…but in that so-ugly-they’re-cute way. I had a brief opportunity to snap this picture…precariously perched upon a step-ladder on our downstairs patio. The nest is built under a beam of our upstairs deck. We could see the 5 eggs through [...]
