{ purchase in my Etsy shop } I’m extremely excited to be debuting a whole new product in my shop. For quite a while now, I’ve been brainstorming, designing, researching, researching and researching to learn how to create long-lasting wire-bound scrapbooks/journals. This project (and really this entire “Capture the Little Moments” series) came from my…
You might recall a couple of weeks ago when I highlighted some menswear looks for the all the pregos out there, since menswear continues to be a big trend going into spring. Well, I decided to take my own advice and put together a dude-ish look for myself utilizing some items I already had and…
Valentine’s Day is on its way! I’ve got lots of planning to do… last year I put together a few little loving surprises for the mister just to show him that I do, actually, think about him from time to time!
I’m so excited to be hosting Candace Moss today, owner and creator of Mom and Pop Photo School. As a photography instructor and also a mom, Candace knows what it takes to get the perfect photos of your kids. But after years of experience, she also knows that not every photo will be perfect, and as moms, we tend to hold ourselves to an awfully high standard!
It’s almost February 1, which means our “Capture the Little Moments” challenge is about to begin! Each day in the month of February, I am challenging all participants to take at least one photo a day. Why? To get you in the habit of documenting life as it is, capturing the little moments you often forget about and bettering your photography skills.
As I mentioned last week, I am in a bit of an overhaul in terms of my style for the new year. I am vowing to quit wearing sweatpants (you know, most days) and start dressing for the day – even if all I do is run errands or pick up my daughter from school.…
This past weekend we finally had Mia’s 4th birthday party, even though her birthday was a couple of weeks ago. I think she prefers it that way, though, since it feels like we are celebrating her all month long! I started planning weeks ago (see my inspiration board here), but didn’t get to everything because…
{ source } Disclaimer: In this post, I have featured menswear looks styled with maternity clothing. If you are not pregnant, I hate you (ok, not really, I love you but I’m just a bit bitter about your normal-sized body), but you can still take some inspiration from this post and the looks I put…
Mom and Pop is graciously giving one reader their 101 Set, which includes lessons for both Portraits 101 and Camera 101 (a $99 value). It is a combined set that will teach you the basics of using your camera (ISO, mode, White balance, etc.) and well as some tips for how to get the perfect portrait (including an all-important lesson on proper lighting) – essential for any mom trying to snap some pro shots of her kids (aren’t we all??).
I’m so tired, you guys. Like really, I am sitting here thinking, “It would be so nice to crawl into bed and close my eyes.” And if you saw my recent DIY desk post, you know that my computer is in my bedroom, just feet from my bed. It would be so easy to just tip-toe over there…
If only I didn’t have two kids to watch. Where’s a nanny when you need one?
