When It’s Not a Wonderful Life…How to cut down your own Christmas tree..

Tweet I had this romantic idea to go out to the woods and cut down our own Christmas tree this year. Usually we wisely go to the Ace Hardware down the block and pay $24.99.  Now I know why.   I cannot sing.   So we drove and drove and kids were asking why we…

Capturing Joy…

Tweet How do you properly capture a two year old? I cannot capture this completely with my camera.
