I’m sure you’ve heard of gluten and gluten-free diets (maybe you are on one) but do you know what it really is? It seems celiac disease and a gluten intolerance is something a lot of people don’t really understand, so I wanted to share some interesting facts with you: 10. Starting a gluten free diet […]
My love for photographing our daily life is contagious, and my son is caught up in my passion. The only thing necessary for a photographic diary of a family’s life is a great camera, such as the Panasonic Lumix G5. It offers 14 creative filters to transform your photos, and this last week I handed […]
We’re shopping around for a family car, an SUV this time around at my husband’s insistence. I’ve never driven anything but a sedan and was frankly quite scared to drive a larger car, especially after a few test drives in wich I couldn’t see the curb to park, back up, etc. I pictured myself hitting […]
My hubs loved his Kia!
That’s a nice looking ride!
I suggested a power lift gate too. Otherwise I am in love with this vehicle
My neighbor has a Kia and loves it, too. It’s a pretty car!
I think the crossover is a great step-up vehicle from sedan to SUV. It rides like a car and I really enjoyed the Sorento also!
Great minds think alike 🙂 I didn’t think of this because I never had a car with one in it, but my husband wanted to try the car out too (and he was impressed also)
I’m in love with this car. We reviewed one over Thanksgiving and I literally teared up when we had to give it back at the end of the week.
What a sweet ride! I’ve been wanting to try out the Kia Sorento!
That is such a sweet ride. I like how it isn’t giant but it’s larger than your average car.
I never thought I would want an SUV, but since I’ve been driving one for the last 5 years I couldn’t imagine not driving one.
What a nice car!
What a nice looking car and you look darn good in it! Our next car/van/thing we drive in.. I want to get something like this!
My cousin has one and loves it!
What a great vehicle! I didn’t realize that Kias were so feature rich! My SUV has a push button start but my husband’s truck doesn’t. It’s always an adjustment going from one vehicle to the other and actually needing to find your keys. An automatic tailgate would be ideal – I don’t have that either.
I love back up video. They are so useful
The Sorento looks so nice with fab features. My current car has automatic hatch and it is wonderful. I am dying to have navigation in my car!
It looks super roomy and the seats appear comfortable.
I think this is our next car.. I keep seeing features I love!
The Sorento was one of my favorite cars we have been able to test drive so far.
As a busy mom, you may find it difficult to schedule time to rejuvenate. However, you can consider it more than a luxury. Everyone needs some time to relax and replenish energy. After taking such time to yourself, you will find you are more able to truly experience and enjoy the time with your kids. […]
Those are great ideas!
Lately, my idea of pampering myself is indulging in a good book!
Lunch dates with friends always energize me…
What a woman carries in her purse says a lot about her. I remember watching a movie with Linda Hamilton, “Sex and Mrs. X”, in which a madame taught her that a woman with class never has loose change or crumpled gum wrappers in her purse, and if you overturn a woman’s handbag, you’ll find […]
My handbag says I’m a big ole hot mess. It’s so disorganized with receipts and papers thrown in there, diapers, wipes. It’s just bad. Lol.
I love your wallet and key chain!
wait that’s it?? lol. I have TOO much in my purse
Evidently, mine says that I’m a woman with no class! CHUCKLE
you have a lovely purse and contents.
Uggg, way too much stuff!
I used to wonder why my mom carried so much in her purse, but I often find myself doing the same these days. 🙂
Wow, I must be a totally lousy woman then. You don’t even want to know what is in my purse LOL.
My handbag says I’m a casual girl that keeps it simple. I too have an Otterbox case!
My handbag qualifies me for Ghetto Princess of the Year! I have zero money, a Coach wallet, asthma inhaler, lip gloss, my kids candy wrappers (classy) and an old movie ticket.
Hmm… a worn French wallet with rhinestone clasp, keys, free product coupons, funky lighter and subtly tinted lip balm, in a red leather shoulder bag.
Guess that would say, likes nice things, but broke, smokes & doesn’t wear much make-up.
I don’t smoke anyway…lol.
I love your coin purse. Too cute!
Your bad is so neat. If I dumped out mine I would be embarrassed of the mess!
I love this post! For the next year, I will have a messy diaper bag- can’t wait to get back to simplicity!
Oh my, my handbag is HUGE and it’s packed in case I’m at an event and decide to pop into a hotel and stay the night.
Oh, candy wrappers for your kids makes you a good mama! (Are we going to listen to a madame?? lol!)
I often toss a bag of diaper wipes in my purse too, I just didn’t have them in there this particular day, but we are moms, we need things for the kids too.
My handbag would say can someone please find me another owner, lol.
I wish my bag was that light. I’ll have to work on that. With all the receipts, I guess it will tell you that I shop too much.
Oh lets see. Tons of lip gloss and lipstick and chapstick. Wallet with no money, checkbook, coupon file, Excedrin, hand sanitizer and notebook with pen. Love your bag!
I work out of my house and so I don’t leave a whole lot, when I do I actually don’t carry a purse.
I definitely have loose change and probably have some candy wrappers in there…hmmm. I also have kleenex, chap stick, coupons, wallet, keys, pen, glasses and a camera.
I have way too much paper and junk in my purse, no matter how much I clean it out it becomes a mess again.
Your bag is so much more organized than mine. The kids seem to always put their stuff in my bag.
I have all of that and a ton more! Also, gum, mints, eye liner, hair pins and bands, receipts and coupons, etc etc.
I should do this. I carry my macbook air in my purse, along with makeup, wallets, receipts LOL
You have a very organized purse!! Mine had way to much crap which I need to clean out this weekend..lol!
I carry a diaper bag now only. I have keys, cellphone, and wallet that is all for me. I love your butterfly keychain.
My bag is also my diaper bag since it’s huge 🙂 I also always end up wit a ton of receipts in my bag.
My purse looks horrible. It is too full of things I don’t need. And the bottom is full of change and receipts. I just shove them in my purse with the intentions of organizing it later, but later rarely comes. :/
I have a Louis Vuitton Cabas Mezzo in the original monogram print. That says I like classic styles and the size of it means I like something that can serve multiple purposes – camera bag, laptop bag, carry-on, diaper bag, everyday bag. And inside is a little of everything – my comment would be way too long to list everything but I just love this post!
I try. I really do. But I have receipts, loose change, hair ties (in case my basketball player daughter needs one), sunglasses, a wallet that is too big with too many cards in it, business cards, business cards from other people I need to contact, and that is just the beginning…You’ve inspired me!
That bag looks so clean and organized!
I’ve been loving playing with those filters too. I had no idea what a difference an effect could make on a shot. Your son did great!
Cool seeing things from his perspective! He did a good job, too… you have a budding photographer there!
Those are some great shots!! I like the star filter!
I especially love the last one and that you gave him the camera
The star filter is neat. I’ve never seen anything like that.
He has a great eye! Also, I had no clue you could use two filters at one with this camera either! I am going to have to see if I can figure it out now! Your sleeping little one is a great shot!
I love the star filter. How cool does that make the pictures look…
Love the impressive filter. Such pretty pictures!
Great pictures! I need new camera and was actually at Best Buy tonight looking at some. I’ll have to keep my eye out for this brand.
Those are some wonderful shots!
The impressive art filter has a slider on the bottom (on the touch screen) and one end is black and white, the other full color (you can have varied saturation)
Ah, okay! Thanks for the tip! This camera has been so much fun to explore!
Filters seem to work magic! I just love the photos.
That camera takes amazing pictures! Love the monochrome ones.
I love that star filter! How perfect for creating a little extra interest in particular shots!
Great shots, I’m loving that star filter. Little twinkles in the air:)
I love the monochrome that added the pinkish color.
I absolutely LOVE filters on a camera I would love to try this one, it looks amazing.
Awesome photos and I love the one with the cars. I am still working to get my photos where I want them to be.
I so wish I knew as much about photography as you do.
I love playing around with filters. It’s fun to see how many different ways you can present a photograph.
