Daily Mantra: "Don't be afraid of opposition. Remember, a kite rises against the wind, not with it." -Hamilton Write Mabie
Mikki's first kite flying adventure...notice its a Barbie kite. I could not find any just REGULAR kites...so Barbie it was. Hope she enjoyed the flight.
Daily Mantra: "One thing a mother should always save for a rainy day is patience." -unknown.
Another rainy day here....
(drum roll please)
First up we have Heather for her funky fish eye and clean, beautiful processing. She really inspired me to take more everyday shots. I cannot get over how wonderful and fresh she is.
Next is Ginnie for her creative posing, perspective, and her lush use of color. She doesn't post every day, but I find myself flocking to her blog for the next sneak peak of what she is up to.
Cari is just out of this world. I feel so close to her photography...of her children...flowers, anything. Everything she does has heart, and that is really shown in her work. Her photographs just make me melt!
Bobbi captures the should of the people she photographs. I love seeing her photography of kids and families. You can tell they are having such a divine time when they are with her. Her crisp, colorful processing is just perfect.
My final award goes to Jessica . Her blog is titled the simple life, but her photographs are anything but. She captures the ESSENCE of children in a way I have never seen. Her photos have emotion and inspiration oozing out of them!
Daily Mantra: "Beginnings are always messy." -John Galsworthy
Photographer of the Week: Reine and Jana
Just watching the beginning of their website makes me want to cry. What I love about their wedding photography is that I FELL SOMETHING when I see it. Their vision is so unique, but also inspiring. Definitely out of the box.
Daily Mantra: "Children learn to smile from their parents." -Shinichi Suzuki
Daily Mantra: "Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude." -Dennis Waitley
And I am definitely thankful for the family I photographed today. They were in one word....divine. What I have come to realize about meeting new people and families through photography is how connected we all are as mothers, fathers, parents, and just human beings. Its amazing.
Daily Mantra: "You know its a bad day when you put your bra on backwards and it fits better." -Anonymous
Just quickly signing on to post a quick pic. Katie has another ear infection. Not sure when this ear infection stage gets over, but I cannot wait!
Daily Mantra: "Love and magic have a great deal in common. The both enrich the soul, delight the heart. And they both take practice."
Imagine my shock when the news said it was going to get to be 80 degrees today. I thought they were broadcasting to a different state or something. Maine, 80!
Daily Mantra: "School is a weird thing. I am not sure it works." -the hottest McHotty himself...Johnny Depp. 
The title says it all. Today I MADE myself sit down and write my term paper. I knew, in my whole heart of hearts, that if I didn't do it today, I was bound to pull an all nighter at some point in the next 2 weeks, and at this age....it ins't cool anymore because your parents aren't there to make you hot cocoa or tea or popcorn, order pizza, or drive your paper into school for you the next morning while you sleep in. You know, I am not really sure what in the world nuclear power plants have to do with Social Work, but maybe, just maybe, I might find it useful someday, even if just to say, "Hey...I had to do it, Kid...you have to too."
