I can tell you from experience that parenting independent children is more of a challenge than raising people pleasers. I have a few of each so I know of what I speak. After studying nature versus nurture in school, I thought I had it all figured out until I...

Ancient History With Sexism and Fat Acceptance Tossed in

Going to the Movies…Not so much…
I love going to the movies. I haven’t been going so much since the kids were born. When my children were babies - sleeping more than 10 hours a day, not speaking, able to be comforted by shushing and rocking…etc. - I used to take them to the movie theatre...
I think we made a mistake with our kids names. No, not the mistake that my mother thinks we made (she’s not into the gender neutral names) - but a mistake that I couldn’t have anticipated until I actually became a parent of a child who could speak and tell...

Scott Kelby’s Photo Recipes Live: Behind the Scenes
Lighting is one of the most intimidating areas of photography for both new and often experienced shooters.

For me, the two most powerful tools for demystifying photography...
Images from my girlfriends’ weekend in the mountains (and why I will never lose weight on one)
Bagel-fuls and cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Promise they weren’t this blurry in real life. I was dying for barbecue from this local dive. We didn’t eat there, not because our underwear was showing, but because it was carry-out only and too cold to eat outside. Tough decision: candied or caramel apples? Willie Wonka-style...

Multi-Purpose Toddler Helmets by Nutcase!
When we were kids, wearing bike helmets was still a relatively new phenomenon only practiced by those with unusually strict (read “knowledgeable”) parents.
