Unsurprisingly I finished my photography class homework an hour and 22 mins before it was due.
I read the lesson materials, watched the video, went through all the email tips and finally figured out that if you turn one dial to “tv” and another to a number you never knew existed you can make moving things look less like this:
and more like this:
KICK ASS!

Poor Asher.
I think he is crying because his pants are too short and he is afraid he is going to be made fun of. Well…outside of the home at least. Cause you know we’re not gonna stop laughing at him.
I mean for real! This is a long sleeved onesie/pants combo. NOT CAPRIS.
Size 0-3 mos. He is 7 weeks today.

Rebecca, an old friend of my good friend Tim was upstate at her parents house this weekend and opened up the paper.
On the front page she saw this
She is mortified.

I love reading. I love, love, love to read. Like, read books under my desk during class in 4th grade love. Like, stay up for hours reading in the bathroom because that’s the only place there is light love. Like, take out 10 books at a time from the library love. Like, “I’m reading this great book you should read. What book is it??? Oh, I already read that” love.
I used to read a lot. About 2 1/2 years ago I started working from home and I went from reading at least 2 books a week to maybe 2 a month. CRAZY. Towards the end of my pregnancy I stopped working and started reading at a faster pace again. It made me realize how much I missed it.
People like to tell you that when you have a baby your life changes. That is so obviously correct. But to try and tell me that I won’t have time to read – just not happening (I have taken a shower every single day too, which I hear is some kind of amazing feat. No idea why)
I did admit to myself maybe the 3 weeks they give you at the library isn’t quite enough with a newborn so I broke down and ordered a few books. One was pre-ordered and finally came in the mail last week. I am really looking forward to devouring it.
It takes place in our neighborhood and SJP already bought the rights. Perfectly delicious for my poor little sleep deprived brain.
Oddly enough my other book came from a recommendation from this tweet:
It arrived about a week after we got home from the hospital and days later when I finally cracked it open to my surprise…
It was a comic strip.
No, Seriously!
A comic strip book!??
I do not get comics.
But I cracked it open one day and could not put it down. The story is great, the writing is amazing and the illustrations are…pretty (??) (I don’t know, I really don’t get comics) You should read this book. Is that what they call looking at comics? Reading? Looking at? Absorbing? Well read/ look at /absorb this book!
Thanks, Laurie Sandell for making your awesome book the first one I ever read* (as a mom AND the first comic! Bam! FIRSTS!)
*Maybe. The jury is still out.
UPDATE: My husband alerted me to the fact that the above comic strip book might be more appropriately referred to as a “graphic novel” Call it what you will but don’t be fooled. Its still a big long comic strip!

I have wanted to take a photography class since I bought my DSLR in 2006. I realized quickly that with my travel schedule I’d never be able to take an actual class that you have to attend since I’d have to miss so many sessions. I found some online classes that looked great but it never worked out. Stupid traveling every month. Stupid work schedule. Stupid WORKING.
Well I am working no more so I finally signed up for one! I am so excited!
The photographer that teaches the class is a former brooklynite who does amazing work. I mean look at these. I am so bummed she moved because I’d love to do a family series with her…maybe one day.
Here are the details-
Welcome to the digital photography class! I’m so excited to have you here for this experience! Class will begin Monday September 7th with your first lesson plan, assignment, and email. In the meantime, make sure you have your camera manual out, your batteries charged and your memory cards ready!
Let’s summarize some of the features of our class:
So yay! This should also be very exciting for all of YOU because I will hopefully stop churning out photos that look like this gem:
Honestly, how many more times can I get away with saying “Sorry for the crap photo”
NO MORE!
well maybe
(sometimes)
