Or, are you wanting to buy yourself something fabulous with that Christmas money you're going to get on Saturday?Consider this:Time Out for Women is a fantastic tour put on by Deseret Book Company. It's a Friday night and Saturday just for you - spent surrounded by fabulous women, listening to excellent music and uplifting speakers. I had the chance to attend last fall and couldn't recommend it

Thanks to those of you who have kindly reminded me that I haven't blogged since August.I appreciate that you missed me. Only problem was, I didn't have a lot to say.Or time to write once I had something to say.Or time to find pictures to help illustrate the things I wanted to say.And then, I wanted to be chronological about the things I wanted to say, and that was far too overwhelming.So, today,

It's here! Can't believe it. All our possessions in a truck bound for Texas on Thursday. Today was the last day at our church building. It was truly depressing. Oh, we're going to miss New England.

I can't really give a full report on tonight's SYTYCD performance finale. I'm currently in Austin, Texas with my family, and we were at dinner for most of the show tonight. I'm trying to download videos from Rickey.org, but the internet here at the hotel is ridiculously slow. So, let me recap a bit:I'm glad they kept Billy around a second week, because I loved his dances during the second top

We've discovered something that G-Man loves - the beach.When our cousins were visiting from China last week, we joined them and some other friends down in Newport, RI at the beach. It was a cold, windy day, but G-Man LOVED the sand. I turned around to check on him, and found this:He was laying on his tummy in the sand and kept putting his face right in the sand. He was even more dirty about 10

I love Cat's headband.I'm still so depressed about Alex's injury. SO depressed. Poor kid.Go, Emmy nominations for SYTYCD! (And Glee!! 19 Nominations!! And Modern Family!)Loved the opening group number. And I knew it was Mia's piece before Cat told me. Not so much because of the choreography, but because Ade was filling in for Alex. She choreographs so much in mathematical patterns for her group

First, an update from last week -Alex and Twitch were my favorite. I've watched it 5 or 6 times since last week.SO glad Melinda is gone.And Cat had two fabulous hair/dress nights in a row!And now, tonight -Good hair and dress again for Cat!New format this week - the kids dance with an all-star they haven't danced with, and then dance with a fellow contestant. I like it.Alex Wong may have

First, I promise that I will get back to posting about my family. We've done a lot of wonderful things this spring, and it's just silly that I haven't been posting.But until then, the recap:Performance Show & Results:*Cat's Hair & Dresses - Loved the hair last night, hate it tonight. Hated the dress last night, love it tonight.*Fun change for this week - I like that the all-stars are staying on

So, I did watch the show last night. But I was in bed and I was too tired to walk downstairs and get my computer. My apologies.Performance Show:I'm not in love with Cat's dress or hair.That was some AWFUL camera work during the intros. Worst I've seen on the show. And we all know I've seen some awful camera work. Not a great way to start our first live performance show.Billy & Lauren – Tyce

I really loved the opening number. Costuming, movement, all of it. The formation changes were astounding. Moving that many people around a stage and making them look good is no small feat. I'm so very happy right now...Since tonight is an introduction show of sorts, I'm going to give some basic thoughts on each dance. The contestants and all-stars are dancing together, so the names of the top

Dear Nigel,Thank you for such a short, lovely audition process! I couldn't be more thrilled that the Top 11 (you tricky guy, you. Telling all of us that either Alex Wong or Billy Bell wouldn't make the Top 10 and then making a Top 11. So tricksy!) are all picked and ready to dance their faces off for us tonight! And the All-Stars! I'm so excited for the All-Stars next week!(For those of you

Okay. I'm fast forwarding most of it. And here is your spoiler alert, if you don't want to know who was eliminated. Or maybe you just don't care. :)Fantasia needs to stick to musical theater, in my opinion.Fast forwarded to the first result, and I have to say I'm slightly shocked that Casey is in the top 3.

I think my boyfriend Harry Connick, Jr. hit it right on the head last week when he was mentoring - it doesn't occur to these contestants that they are singing lyrics that mean something. And they

A week late, but here we go!Performances:Siobhan Magnus ("Through the Fire") - That was rough for her. She never found a good placement. (Even more sad to watch in the recap. They chose her bad notes to highlight.)Casey James ("Hold On I'm Coming") - I didn't hate him for the first time ever.Michael Lynche ("Ready for Love") - I love him.Didi Benami ("What Becomes of the Broken Hearted") - That

Disclaimer - I'm late watching these shows again. I'm not going to watch the entire episode. For the remaining shows this season, I can only promise that I will watch Crystal, Michael and Siobhan. I really wish they'd cut everyone but those three and just finish the season early, but I'm not in charge. So I'll just suffer through the season until the top 3 show and hope they are the final 3

I read a lot of blogs. Let me rephrase that - I have a lot of blogs in my Google Reader. Most days, I take time to skim through them quickly, just because I really like to get rid of the numbers next to each category. It's like they're screaming at me when I have blogs there to read. Most days, I don't have that many to read. I can get done in 30 minutes or so. But I've been unable to read my

Going to have to do the show and the results in the same night. I didn't get to watch the girls' results last week, and I was SO upset to see the girls that were left. I really liked both Lilly and Katelyn. Bugged.Why is Kara borrowing Paula's wardrobe?Michael - Love him. LOVE. A-Didi - She has a fantastic voice, but I'm SO bored right now. No Grade. The judges liked her a lot. I think that

We're almost to the Top 12! Almost to the big stage!!Katie Stevens ("Breakaway") - Poor thing. She's trying so hard. And so mature in taking criticism. But vocally, a C.Siobhan Magnus ("House of the Rising Sun") - Starting a'cappella! Atta kid! I think she's my favorite vocally. I don't love this song, but she was great.

Tonight's Group Song: "I Got a Feelin'" by the Black Eyed Peas.This is going to be awful. I may not even be able to watch long enough to make fun of their lip synching. Seriously, people! Hold the microphone like you hold it when you are actually singing! And I can't even talk about the "choreography." Why am I still watching this?The one great thing about results shows at this point, is that

Yup. I missed a day. March 3. So, I'm going to keep going in numerical order and will add a day on at the end. This photo was posted on my photography blog. I love it. I'm so glad G-Man shook his hand.

We're a day late, but here it is....• Kara is awkward for me right now. And that ponytail is awful.Singing: (Again, if I can't stand to listen to them through the end of the song, they get "No Grade" and I boo-doop boo-doop them. Which means I fast forward on the Tivo for those of you that are new around here.)Crystal Bowersox - Clearly her illness wasn't vocal-related. Great rendition.

The judges are in a different seating order every week. It bugs. I need them to keep this arrangement. Randy, then the girls, then Simon.Dear Kara, the 1980s want that hairstyle back. And I'm annoyed she's acting like Paula.I really like Ellen.Now, some singing:(I'll be shortening comments and giving each performance a grade. Unless they bore me so much I can't make it past the first 20-30

First, my comments this year are going to be a lot more brief. And I'm not sure I'll be able to post on the night the show airs. I've decided I need to sleep.But I'll share a few thoughts....- Randy and Kara are duplicating each other. Neither of them bring anything unique to the table in terms of comments. That's a shame.- Ellen is fabulous. And the little sequence with Ellen and Simon at the

This photo is from a live shoot I attended at Inspire Boston. Matt Grazier from Grazier Photography led the shoot, and is there just on the left of the frame. I am shooting with my iPhone over his shoulder. (I didn't bring my camera. Me=lame.) The model was so great and was styled so well, and I loved the shot of her in front of this monument in the middle of Concord, MA.

Disney on Ice!I might have been overcompensating for the fact that I always wanted to go and always wanted one of those silly spinning toys that lights up and I also wanted popcorn.It's good to have children to live through. :)

As many of you know, I have a little personal project that I try to squeeze into my photo shoots when I get the chance - photographing moms with their kids. You can read more about the project and how I started it here.My friend Whitney let me know about a photo contest at a fantastic website for moms - Power of Moms. The call was for photos of moms and kids together, and I was thrilled to be

G-Man loved his new giant toad from Grandpa Toad. He carried it around for days and would just flop down and lay on top of it.

The Valentine's Day cookie tradition continues. G-Man received one last year as well, but he didn't quite grasp the awesomeness of having a gigantic sugar cookie with your name on it in frosting.He grasped it this year. He isn't smiling in the picture, but that's only because he was very intent on conquering the cookie.

If you've known me for a few years, you know what I'm doing with this gigantic bowl of lemons.If you don't know what the lemons are for, I'm happy to answer questions. I will just say it involves a great deal of will power, and that I'm nervous about embarking upon this week with a toddler.

The aforementioned roses. They smell as fabulous as they look. And the cute card with the monkey is from G-Man. He had such fun wishing everyone Happy Valentine's Day!Having kids around reminds you why everything is so exciting and fun.

Daddy had to stay late at work tonight, so we made a fort and watched the "singing show" (American Idol) together. We also ate Spongebob Squarepants macaroni and cheese for dinner in the fort. Good times...

I finally had a chance to watch the Hollywood Week episodes.(photo via Rickey.org)First, I love Ellen. I think she's going to be awesome.Second, why don't we have the Coke drinking glasses anymore? Vitamin Water Zero? What's that about?Also, the first round is brutal. And I hate group day. Hate.And finally, Andrew Garcia's version of "Straight Up" was one of my favorite things I've seen on AI.

G-Man has been so excited about Valentine's Day. He made cupcakes at his friend's house a couple weeks ago, and since then has been talking about putting "sparkles" on things. He made a list of everyone he wanted to give heart cookies to. We have gone over the list as we drive around in the car several times since making it, and have been able to deliver and mail our cookies over the last couple

G-Man was an excellent sprinkle assistant. (Or as he calls them, "sparkles.")And we went to lunch with some friends today, where Sara made G-Man these super sweet glasses.

This week's theme: We Heart Kisses!I was thinking I didn't have a photo that I could enter in this week's competition. Then I remembered this one:I love this photo. I love the memory behind making it. I love the people in the background watching the couple. And I love that my bride and groom got so lost in their own little world.Have a kissing photo? Go enter it at I Heart Faces this week!

Our morning play session. "Mom, you want to play in my room?" is a question I hear a lot these days. "Look, mom! It's Mater!" was the quote when this picture was taken. He loves so many different toys and so many things.*These were taken with my new, super-sweet D700 that the nice UPS man brought in the morning.

I was truly bummed at the end of the day on Tuesday. (And by "end of the day," I mean midnight.) I thought I missed the chance to take a photo on Tuesday. I meant to do it. I started to do it. Then I got sidetracked.Then I realized - I did take a photo on Tuesday!I was asked to take this snapshot at school of two new members of our administrative team. My streak is still alive!

I just love this photo. I wrote a little bit more about the organized chaos behind him in this post on the other blog.

Week Two was not a good one for me. It seems when Diggity leaves town that I have a rough time with stuff like this. Here's to a better week. Here is the new PDF for this week. And if you need a link to the information for the Know Your Neighbor Wild Card, click here.P.S. American Idol updates start soon! I just finished watching Chicago - rough town. Not a lot of golden tickets. I cringe

I came up to G-Man's room and found his Mr. Potato Head collection dumped on the floor and he was trying to get inside the box where they are usually stored. Still not sure why he was doing it, but I thought it was pretty funny.

An outtake from my pre-Valentine's Day session with the G-Man. He loved these pillows. And he called my backdrop a "stage." It was awesome.

The theme at I ♥ Faces this week is "We Are Family." I have a lot of fun family shots to choose from, but I thought I'd go with this one:This was the last shot of our photo shoot. The last shot is usually one of my favorites. After spending the afternoon traipsing through the North End of Boston, we needed a release. And we ended up with a shot that reflects everyone's personality perfectly -

I have to say, this week went a lot better for me than I thought it would. My primary concern was to get the exercise point. And I managed to exercise 5 days this week. (We are supposed to exercise 6 out of 7.) I'm pretty excited about that. I'm going to make sure I hit all 6 days this week.Click the image below to download the new chart for this week:Good luck! Have a great week!

I made Ina Garten's Brownie Pudding for Sunday dessert tonight. Here's the recipe. Though, if you decide to make it, make sure you put in 3/4 cup of cocoa instead of 1/4 like I did. It was still delicious, but I find it's best to follow Ina's recipes precisely.

At the end of every day, I hear this:"Mom! Can I have a bubble bath with my guys?"My guys = his Yo Gabba Gabba bath toys It's the little stuff like this that I really don't want to forget.

On seeing a pizza commercial tonight, G-Man said, "Mommy! Let's make some pizza!"Sandwich rounds + tomato sauce + cheese + pepperoni = pizza!And it was surprisingly good.

G-Man found his book of family photos and had such a great time looking at them tonight. I'm so grateful he loves to look at photos and say everyone's names as he is looking.

It's birthday week at i heart faces! (Isn't their new logo fun?) I haven't had the time to enter in a while, but I'm going to do a better job. I really like the challenges and hope I can incorporate them into the Project 365 stuff I'm already working on.Everyone is to enter their most recent "Best Face Photo." I had a few to choose from, but this one of Diggity and G-Man sledding together right
