I'm on a Photo-a-Day Roll!

I'm feeling like a superstar these days.  I've been keeping my camera handy and taking almost a photo a day.   I'm also using my phone's camera a lot more.  This is something I've never been very good at... the nagging perfectionist in me just isn't satisfied with the picture quality... but sometimes a mediocre photo is better than no photo at all.  Right?

Like beautiful wedding receptions, and proof that my kids can dress up:


And the fabulous candy table:


And random everyday stuff, like organizing National Geographic, napping puppies... and evidence of the *ahem* sociability of certain adult children:


We filled FOUR garden bags with dandelions over the Victoria Day weekend:


There was some craftiness:


Some baking:


And some girl stuff to round out this boy momma:


I'm on a roll baby!

  1. What a great idea! I should give this photo-a-day a try, you never know what you might capture. Thank you for partying with us at Fluster's Creative Muster.

  3. Yes, you are on a roll! Your family is lovely! I try to take as many photos as I can. If I don't have my (awesome) camera, I use my cell phone. I have the same philosophy: it's better to have a cell phone photo vs no photo at all.

  4. Hey Jenn!

    Wow, what beautiful pictures! I'm the same way with a camera. I think I'm never quite satisfied because I see other bloggers with much more eye pleasing pictures.

    Alas.

    I wanted to thank you for linking up with us at the Plus Party! I have added your bloglovin and google+ accounts and look forward to staying connected.

  8. Cool! Nice photos - that candy table is making me drool. That bookshelf is making me want to curl up and read. Hehe.

  12. What a nice collection of photos. I was trying to see what was on your book shelf and could tell what some of the books are, still trying to figure out a bunch though. Looks like that was a lovely wedding.
    I was stopping by to say hi, and thanks for linking up with Lovin' the Weekend Blog Hops. I am now following your blog (and pinterest and twitter).
    I also wanted to let you know you have been randomly chosen as this weekend's Featured Host. I couldn't find another way to contact you, so I hope you see this comment. If you could please email me at kewkew34@yahoo.com I would surely appreciate it. I will need a short blurb to add to the post. People usually share what they blog about, why they blog, how long they have been blogging (stuff like that), just things you would like our readers to know about you and your blog. I will send you the html code of the blog post on Friday afternoon and it needs to be posted by 6pm EST. We also ask that you share about the blog hops on your social media to help get the word out. It would be nice if you could share our button (on my blog (Tots and Me)side bar, but it is not mandatory. I look forward to hearing from you soon and getting to know you better. Have a great evening.

  13. Congrats on taking a lot of pictures, it's the hardest thing to remember...I helped my friend to start her own blog and she will always tell me of some stunning flower in her garden or a new makeover or a new recipe and i will always say did you take pictures...and of course it is "ohhhh I forgot"..lol I finally had to answer her with "I don't believe you"..."show me" well she is finally taking lots of pictures, the second thing I am trying to teach her is to take three or four pictures of the same thing from different angles, some close and some far away..I love all your pictures...the baking shots and the buffet are my favorite, I think the picture is so cool I could almost taste the food...I am a new follower and I am so glad I found you...

  14. I've tried to do some photo challenges, such as the 12 on 12 ~ one photo every hour for 12 hours. I begin taking one of me drinking coffee, and then I completely forget I was even doing this until the end of the day. I wish I were better!

  15. You are rocking the photos, sister! What's strange is that I've found some of the best pictures I have are actually from my iPhone. Who knew?

    I also love the photo of the books on the shelves. Maybe it's because I'm a reader, but that was like eye candy to me.

  23. Your family is beautiful, and have you ever wondered why we fight dandelions so hard. Why don't we just let them win, and we'd save ourselves a lot of work.
