Hi friends! I hope you are staying safe and well at home. I am an introvert at heart, but I also don't like being told what to do. I get depressed when I feel trapped at home. It's a constant struggle between needing space and wanting to go out and explore the world, ha ha! And that is a normal daily struggle, so this social distancing thing is really messing with my sanity! But, like most of you, I'm just trying to make the best of it. One day at a time, right?</div>

Hey friends! I hope you are well and staying safe at home. As I promised in my last post, I've put together some no-nonsense learning resources for kids and teens (and even adults) to help get you through this new school-at-home reality. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a homeschooler for the past 12 years, I know first hand how frustrating and overwhelming it can feel to school at home (it's no walk in the park). But it is also full of unexpected joys, and can be richly rewarding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Be patient with yourself and your kids, and do your best to have fun by keeping your sense of humor along the way. You don't have to be a perfect teacher or a perfect parent. Just keep showing up. Find unique ways to navigate the ups and downs together. Sometimes plain old perseverance, or compassion in the midst of struggle, is the greatest lesson for the day. Those skills are often more important than grammar or algebra anyway. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

Without further ado, below are my recommendations by age group. Please review each site and use your own discretion as to appropriateness for your individual child's needs and maturity level. </div>

Hey friends! I know it has been a while since I've posted here. Life got very busy and I had trouble keeping up with everything. Things have certainly changed in recent weeks. I've gone from working full time and shuffling kids from activity to activity, to hardly working at all and being house bound. It all seems a bit like a sci-fi movie in the making.<br />
<br />
I know many of us are worried, anxious, frustrated and fearful about what the next few weeks and months may bring. The constant flow of bad news and cautionary tales on social media and newscasts feels a bit overwhelming. But I have also seen an amazing outpouring of kindness, helpfulness, and generosity. One thing I know is true, now is the time for lifting each other up and offering support where we can.<br />
<br />
Feeling helpless is awful and leads to despair, but feeling helpful is empowering and leads to hope. For this reason, it is more important than ever to find ways to help each other, and to build new pathways to a positive future, even if we aren't yet sure what that looks like.<br />
<br />

While I am new to a life of social distancing and/or quarantine, I am not new to homeschooling (12 years now) or photography (8 years as a pro). One of the things I found most overwhelming when I started each of those journeys was the sheer volume of information to sift through. Yes, there are tons of free and inexpensive resources available online, but many are worthless or simply lead down a rabbit hole of opt-ins, emails, and webinars with mere crumbs of useful info. With all my new found free time, I've decided to share some helpful resources that bypass the marketing mumbo-jumbo and take you straight to the good stuff. My hope is that it lightens your burden just a bit, if you are finding yourself suddenly "home schooling." I also plan to host a photography challenge for anyone looking for an outlet for creativity.<br />
<br />
While these posts may not change the world or solve all of our problems, I hope that they will at least brighten your day and make your life a wee bit easier in these challenging times. I promise not to bombard you with endless links, and to share only information and resources that I have explored myself and found helpful.<br />
<br />

<br />
<i>Photography </i>& science related - today <a href="https://www.nikonevents.com/us/live/best-of/?fs=y" target="_blank">Nikon</a> is hosting a full day of wildlife and conservation presentations by professional photographers.<br />

Not a great photo at first glance, but so much of me is in this frame - homeschool books on the desk, my kids’ art work on the fridge, a Dane staring back at me, the swing set my kids used to play on daily but have now abandoned, a sassy teenager at my shoulder, my wedding ring, the bracelet my grandmother gave me, my camera...all little reflections of a life lived, and the soul that brought them together. </span><br />

I can't believe I missed the <i>entire</i> month of October. Between work and co-op activities, the kids' volunteering jobs, various appointments, etc. I have been running all over the place. We've only had my car for about 5 months and I've put over 9,000 miles on it, if that tells you anything - and no road trips either - just the weekly shuffle!<br />
<br />
So I have photos to share from a Halloween shoot I did with my girls (just for kicks), and from our Halloween/fall festivities. We attended a super fun Halloween costume party, and the kids had a couple of other parties as well. Plus, the usual trick-or-treating. I'm sorry I've fallen so behind, but I'll keep trying to keep up.<br />

I feel like I've been road tripping all week. I had sessions in Sandbridge, then Williamsburg, then Virginia Beach, then Williamsburg and now back to Sandbridge. Plus, running back and forth to co-op several times a week, means I spend half the week in the car. Hubs was in Europe for work all week, so I was parenting solo too. Needless to say, I'm spent. Next week slows down a little, but then I have a wedding weekend.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My photos for this week are from a jaunt up to Colonial Williamsburg for a family session. I love Williamsburg in the fall! The colors haven't quite turned, but the temps are cooling down a little. And it's just so lovely there. <br />

Hey friends, happy weekend! We survived the first week back to school <i>and </i>Hurricane Dorian. Frankly, neither was all that difficult, so thank goodness for that. I don't have many pics to share this week - because it was a week of busy - just a couple of stormy sky shots.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next week is our official first <i>full </i>week of school for us, and the first week of co-op, so we'll see how we fare after that full blast. How are things in your neck of the woods? </div>

Happy weekend all! Just popping in for a quick post. I have a session to get to, family birthday celebrations this weekend and our 18th anniversary (am I that old?!), so I just have time to throw up a few pics from this week. We had our end of the summer pool party with our homeschool co-op, and we took the kiddos to the water park last weekend. Tons of wet and wild fun! We are back to hitting the books on Tuesday - so a busy week ahead! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How was your final week of August?</div>

Happy weekend friends! Here I am for Friday Photo Journal, on Saturday, ha ha. Oh me, I just can't seem to get it together. But, if you are still coming around I suppose you are used to it by now. This week was packed full with birthday celebrations, sessions, kids' activities, and our back to co-op meet and greet. We don't start back to school for another couple of weeks, but yikes it is creeping up quickly!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are my shots from the week, including our August birthday festivities, and a trip to a new-to-us macaroon shop in downtown Norfolk - yum! How was your week?</div>

Happy weekend friends! I know I'm behind, as usual, but I'm feeling optimistic. I finished a wedding gallery yesterday - whoop! (always a chore) and have shot 7 sessions, a 9 hour wedding with travel, and an elopement this month already. Plus, I've delivered 5 session galleries, edited/posted sneak peeks, blogged, promoted, met with clients, birthday planned and shopped, chauffeured, cleaned, reorganized, started a new biking regimen, and adulted my way through a dead fridge/new fridge & AC repair in the past two weeks as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I'm finally getting around to posting here, yay! While I am behind, (I know, I know) I do have lots of photos to share including my first film scans, and pics from my daughter's drama camp musical, which was a full time whirlwind week of major rehearsals, costume shopping, and performances all on its own. (They cast, learned, staged and produced an entire one hour musical in one week, and it was fabulous!) Without further ado, here are my images to share:<br />
<br /></div>

Back to school sales and posts are popping up and here I sit, wondering where our summers go. July was a whirlwind, as usual. August is setting up to be quite similar. I have a wedding and an elopement, plus 13 sessions scheduled, 3 family birthdays, one kid at day camp, two kids heading out of town for a bit, and another one to entertain while the oldest 3 are busy. Plus, back to school planning. I plan to do my best to squeeze in some pool days, barbecues, ice cream outings, and whatever else I can muster to eek out every last bit of summer! What's on your agenda this month?<br />

Pics from this week are iPhone snaps of our recent beach and park days. I did finally send my first rolls of film out, but haven't gotten scans back yet. Hopefully next week! </div>

Summer is passing by in a blink. July is always hectic with the 4th, lots of family birthdays, and tons of sessions for work. Even though we have packed a lot into the past few weeks, it's still hard to believe it's almost August already, and "Back to School" messages are popping up everywhere!<br />

I know I missed last week - so sorry! My birthday weekend was a whirlwind. I have pics from our festivities, plus photos from this week's happenings. Hubs treated the family to dinner out on my birthday weekend, and I chose a restaurant we have never tried. Smithfield is a small town only about 30 minutes or so from us, and we headed there for a tasty dinner at <a href="http://www.tasteofsmithfield.com/" target="_blank">Taste of Smithfield</a>. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent! Afterwards, we explored the charming downtown area for a bit, and indulged in ice cream from the local ice cream parlor. My extended family also hosted a birthday dinner/pool day that weekend, and it was such a treat! I am so grateful for the time with them.<3 div="" nbsp=""></3><br />

I was also blessed with some amazing gifts! I have been wanting a film camera for several years, and hubs made that happen this year- yay! My dad and stepmom sent a generous gift certificate to B&H photo for film supplies too. <3 p=""></3></div>

I also received an amazing gift from Grounds & Hounds from my sweet sister. <a href="https://groundsandhoundscoffee.com/" target="_blank">Grounds & Hounds </a>sells delicious fair trade coffees and gifts that support animal rescue. "Every Pound Saves a Hound." How cool is that?! I LOVE my coffee and mugs - amazing quality!! If you are like me, and microwave your coffee several times because you get too busy to drink it fast enough - the insulated tumbler has your name on it! They also offer a coffee subscription so that you never run out of your faves!</div>

Ok, enough about my birthday! I really just wanted to share some of those wonderful products with you. I am not an affiliate for any of them and do not receive any kick backs - just sharing a few great products that I love. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In other news - we also celebrated two of my favorite cuties' birthdays - tons of fun, and I took some more beach pics - panos are back. :) I also took lots of film pics, but have not developed them yet. Hopefully I'll have some of those to share soon - unless they are all horrible - which is a distinct possibility. </div>

Welcome to this edition of I'm Late to My Own Party Again. I know it's Saturday and I've missed the boat. But here I am. I hope your weekend is off to a great start. It's my birthday weekend, so I'm already soaking up some much needed family time and eating way too much good food!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last week we took a field trip to <a href="https://www.jlab.org/about" target="_blank">Jefferson Lab </a>(Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility). If you aren't familiar with it, Jefferson Lab is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science national laboratory, which houses a Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). It's a place where way smart people do way cool stuff with high tech electronics and matter, and stuff. We had front row seats to some awesome experiments and a hilarious scientist presenter. It was fun!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, I shot more beach sessions and our dogs did some modeling. What have you been up to? </div>

Hello friends! I hope you had a wonderful week and a great 4th! We spent the holiday celebrating with family, which was a welcomed break We had planned to go watch the fireworks, but it ended up raining and thundering. Though the show was not cancelled, we decided it best to stay at home. That was a bit disappointing, but all in all it was a great day. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Earlier in the week, I met some clients at a local park for a photo session. When I pulled up, the Ghostbuster mobile was there, along with a DeLorean "Time Machine." That's not something you see everyday, ha! Most of my photos this week are from the 4th. </div>

Happy Friday friends! I hope you have had a great week. We've been busy with work and school. Trying to finish out the year of homeschooling. We'll likely be testing next week. A little behind schedule, but that's the beauty of homeschooling. We go at our own pace. I don't have much to share this week. Just a few shots from the beach, and some everyday shenanigans. How was your week?</div>

Happy Friday! I'm behind as usual friends. Facepalm. Summer is finally officially here. Feels like a whole lotta work to me though, and not at all like summer vacation. I've been up to my eyeballs in wedding edits, beach sessions, contracts, planning, and end of the year test prep for homeschooling. I am exhausted, and would <i>LOVE</i> a little vacation time. That hasn't happened in about 10 years though, so I'm not holding my breath.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do realize I missed last week's post, and I apologize. I simply ran out of bandwidth. I have iPhone photos from the past two weeks to share today. They include a birthday trip to the beach arcade. My oldest girl had a bday, and though we had a weekend family party for her, her friends have wacky schedules, so we planned a separate weekday jaunt with her friends. We hit the arcade, walked the touristy boardwalk area, and indulged in some delicious soft serve ice cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Photos also include Father's Day, a trip to the vet, Little Miss enjoying the Slip and Slide, and some snaps from photo shoot locations, since that is much of my life these days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How's life been treating you?</div>

<br />
Summer has kicked into full swing and life has been busy around here. I'm sorry I missed posting last week. I have had weddings and sessions and kids' activities and sick kids, and the days have flown by.<br />
<br />
I did take my girls to see a local production of Matilda last week and it was fantastic! We had a great time. A few shots are from that night at the musical, and then one of our lazy pupper, Titan. Sadly, that's all I have to share this week in photos. How was your week?<br />

It's beginning to feel like summer around here. I've had several beach sessions with clients this week, and the weather is pretty hot and humid. We'll be in the 90s most of the next week! Our activities over the past week have included a park day with family, a Girl Scout pool party, and a family fun day at Busch Gardens.<br />
<br />
This weekend I have a wedding on Saturday, then I'm looking forward to a family holiday celebration, and a bit of a break from shooting next week. How's your holiday weekend shaping up?<br />

Happy weekend all! This week went by in a blur. I had a couple of client sessions last weekend, then Mother's Day was spent with the family, exploring downtown Norfolk and the Chrysler Museum of Art. Early in the week, the girls and I were in Williamsburg with our Girl Scout troop. They spent 2 days at Great Wolf Lodge. Lots of fun adventures! I have a few iPhone snaps to share, and a few from an impromptu photo session with my youngest.</div>

Hey friends! Happy Friday to you! I hope all is well. This week was not terribly eventful for us. Just the usual work, school, and kid's activities. I did take my girls strawberry picking one afternoon and we got some delicious berries! We've been enjoying berry dishes all week.</div>

Hey friends! Happy weekend to you! I thought this week might slow down a little without having our regular co-op schedule, but that was not the case. I don't know where the days went?? Last weekend was packed full with a wedding, my grandmother's birthday celebration, a family session, the kids' variety show and out of town visitors. Today I'm sharing a few shots from the variety show. I wish I had taken more, but I didn't want to be "that" mom with her big camera all over the place.</div>

Happy Friday all! I'll keep this short and sweet as I have a busy weekend ahead. A Friday wedding, Saturday celebration for my grandmother's 104th birthday, and our kiddos' end of the year Co-op variety show, plus family in town, and a maternity session Sunday. Soooo, I'm juggling several things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week was fun - lots of end of the school year excitement, lots of lovely warm weather for bikes rides, walks, planting flowers, and sprinkler play. Also, a lovely family Easter celebration. It was a great week! How was yours?</div>

Here we are zooming into Easter weekend and I'm excited for some family fun. This week was spring break for local schools, but we kept up our normal schedule. We had planned to take today off and take the kids to Busch Gardens, as a sort of surprise treat, but Mother Nature is sending us some big storms. That plan will have to wait for another day, unfortunately.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, our week was busy with the usual school/work activities, plus plumbing repairs (fun, fun). Co-op ends next week, and my kiddos are sad about that. They have truly enjoyed this year! We are looking into various summer activities for them, including drama camps, music lessons, and summer jobs. Hopefully they will find new ways to connect with friends and get creative. What's on your agenda for the summer?<br />
<br />
This week's photos include more spring blooms and a few shots with my girls at the NEON arts district in downtown Norfolk.<br />

I hope you have had a great week. I realize it is cold and snowy in many parts of the world, but here in Virginia, we are in full spring mode. Everything is blooming, including my favorite Dogwoods. The weather has been mild and pleasant, but the pollen this week has been out of control. Our world is covered in a blanket of greenish-yellow powder. It's pretty gross. Still, I'm happy the weather is warming and the blooms are so beautiful! Hopefully the pollen will dissipate before long and make it easier to enjoy the spring weather.<br />
<br />
Our week was filled with the usual - Girl Scout meetings, co-op classes and school. My middle boy lost a few teeth, which makes 6 in the past two months! Other than a few home repairs and work, that's pretty much all we have going on right now. How was your week?<br />

Happy Friday friends! The past week was pretty exciting. My oldest girlie performed in a musical, her debut, with our homeschool co-op. I was SO proud of her! She did an amazing job and it was thrilling to watch. We also had some visitors from out of town - my sweet mother-in-law came up from North Carolina with our nephews to view the show. The cousins all had a great time together over the weekend. Also, our oldest turned 17, which just boggles my mind. It was a big week!</div>

We also enjoyed some lovely spring weather. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom and are simply beautiful!</div>

Here we are swinging into the weekend again already. Our week was filled with co-op classes, Girl Scout cookie booths, drama rehearsals, more doctor appointments, St. Pat's celebrations, and work, of course. Last weekend was full of excitement, as our oldest two headed off to the dance. Our homeschool Co-op, along with another local homeschool group, puts on a spring dance for teens.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was our first year attending, and I have to say that I was impressed with how it all came together! I really only saw a peek of the set up as I dropped them off, but the place was decorated to the hilt, and the DJ was on point. My daughter said she danced the <i>entire </i>4 hours, as did most of the kids. She was sore for days, ha ha! Oh, to be young again...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My shots this week include the pre-dance photos I forced them to comply with as we headed out the door, and a few pics from the fun St. Patrick's Day festivities my mom and step-dad hosted for us. </div>
