First Time Family Pictures
We finally did it! Thanks to Facebook, I recently saw some gorgeous photos of families I know. I just had to get ours done too. We have never had professional pictures done, now I couldn’t resist. I wanted some nice pics of the whole family. So we did it!
I contacted the photographer who took the pictures of the other families, her name is Lisa with LiLo Photography. She set us up to meet at a local Museum that has a working farm, great place to snap pics.
Can I just tell you that I LOVE the pictures? I was so nervous because honestly I didn’t know if my boys would cooperate. My 2 little ones did not cooperate after about 15 minutes, lol. I was unsure if they gave her any good shots.
Well folks that is what Professionals are for! Of course she captured perfect pics of them. So thankful!!
If you are in the Denver area, I highly recommend her. She has an amazing portfolio that you can view online at Facebook (please “Like” her, you will love the pics she posts) or on her website.
She made us feel comfortable right away. She introduced herself to the boys and made them feel special, thank you for that Lisa!
Our Classroom for a Perfect Autumn Day
A couple of Fridays ago we took class outdoors, what a breath of fresh air! It was amazing, fantastic, refreshing and down right FUN!
We love going to Hudson Gardens, several acres of God’s beautiful creation! We searched for leaves, watched ducks and geese, chased butterflies and bugs, tumbled in the grass and climbed a rock cave, we even did some bird watching.
Since we are now into to the Fall, we were thrilled to see the …
Hay Maze!
and…
Pumpkin Patch!
We also checked out a Leaf Explorer Pack from the Office, we learned all about leaves and trees. There were a ton of fun activities and surprises in the pack.
We also took along this, (thanks Scribbit!):
Thank you God for the Best classroom we could ever ask for!
What is Pinterest? It’s wonderful, that’s what!
Have you heard about Pinterest? Oh WOW! Let me tell you it is wonderful, truly wonderful. My husband calls it a “visual Twitter” it is but it is so much more than that. Eye candy for everything you love, things that inspire you, things you want.
Here is what Pinterest says it is:
Pinterest is a virtual pinboard. Pinterest allows you to organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. You can browse pinboards created by other people to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.
People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and share their favorite recipes.
I love it. I have created boards for Homeschool stuff, kids crafts, DIY, party ideas, decorating ideas, photography, places and a ton of other things. It is a great way to bookmark all the cool ideas and inspiration you find on the web.
Ever been to a site and want to remember an idea or see a cool picture? I have! Only problem is … I never remember to go back. This is a great way to save stuff from all over the web. You create boards that work like your own personal bulletin board. On your boards you “pin” websites/pictures you love. Then they are on display for all to see.
You can follow people on Pinterest too. Once you find some things you like, start following other users and enjoy their boards! You can also “re-pin” items that others have posted.
Here are some of my favorite people to follow:
Now head on over to Pinterest, check out my boards, I have some excellent Homeschool stuff pinned as well as yummy recipes and cool photographs. Enjoy!
