Photo Friday

I took this photo today on my way home from work.  This sign always cracks me up.  How many other streets could this not be?! My guess is that Google Maps says this is Texas Street.  I like the contrast in this photo, but am not 100% satisfied with its composition and focal point.  Critiques are welcomed and encouraged.

Thankful Thursday

This week I am thankful for the following:

1) I am thankful we do not owe taxes.

2) I am thankful we did not have to pay "J.H." a ridiculous amount of money to get our taxes done.

3) I am thankful we do not owe taxes.

4) I am thankful we were able to get last year's taxes amended. 

5) Did I mention, we do not owe taxes?!

Confessions of a Working Mom: Confession #1

I am more than addicted to Diet Pepsi; it is my fuel.  I drink no less than 36 ounces of Diet Pepsi every day.  This sounds like a lot, but I have actually cut back A LOT; I used to drink over 100 ounces every day.  I went nine months without it when I was pregnant with Caden.  I know it is not healthy for me, however, I went without it for two days last week and I felt like a walking zombie.

P.S. The pop can Caden found was not opened yet, so please do not send me messages about why a one-year-old should not drink Diet Pepsi : ).

From the Mouth of a One-Year-Old

This morning, when I heard Caden wake up, I tried to roll over and ignore him to see if he would go back to sleep.  He crawled over me and said, "I see you Mom!"

Today, Caden looked into the toilet and said, "Eww sick!" I guess it is time to clean the toilet. However, a dirty toilet may keep a one-year-old from playing in it. . .probably not though. . .I better clean it : (.

Photo Friday

This photo was taken last November at the pumpkin patch.  I chose this photo for Photo Friday because it was the first time I desaturated a photo (50%) and added my signature to a photo.  Not all photos look good desaturated.  I think it works for this photo.  What do you think? Also, what do you think about my signature? I wanted it to be simple and not take away from the photograph. Critiques are always welcomed and encouraged.

Confessions of a Working Mom: Introduction

I love reading "Mommy Blogs," but most of the Blogs I have found are stay at home moms.  Even though I like many of their Blogs, I am interested in connecting with other working moms (outside of the home).  I would like to know how other working moms face the challenges of balancing work and family life.  Please let me know if you know of a working mom Blog that you think I would enjoy; it would be much appreciated!  
 

Photo Friday

Happy Good Friday! I am so glad it is Friday--this is the first weekend that Colby and I will have been off together in weeks months forever!

I chose the following photo for Photo Friday for three reasons:  

1) I am obsessed with taking photos of feet. . .especially baby big boy feet.  

2) I love the way it turned out.  

3) It is the first time I used Poladroid (http://www.poladroid.net/).  Poladroid turns any photo into a polaroid for FREE and it is extremely easy to use!
