Pictures of Life (With Kids)

I started a new Flickr group based on this idea that I was doing for awhile with Tyler over at Building Camelot. It is so nice to document what life is like with our children without ever shooting their little faces (though that’s lovely too).

Hufflepuff

 

 
The Sorting Hat says I am a Hufflepuff.  As if anyone had any doubt what house I would be in after defending the Slytherins.

Elephants, Bears and Cows, Oh My.

So not something you are likely to be stalked by in the forest on the way to Oz? 
These are my three favorite animals.  If you ask me what my three favorite animals are, I will say, Elephants, Bears and Cows.  Why elephants, bears and cows?  No idea.
Elephants are matriarchs and I’m a single mother from [...]
