The other pictures

Posted on by

You know the ones I’m talking about. The ones that don’t make the cut. I take somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-200 pictures a week. Thank goodness for digital cameras and good memory sticks. Of those pictures only half or so are good semiclear shots.  What do you do with the rest?  I save them.  I watched a show (appropriately the second day of vacation two years ago) that said not to delete any pictures because you never know what gem you might find later.  Waldo and I took that to heart and now my pictures folder is bursting with :the other pictures” but that’s ok with me.

I was looking through my latest Lily folder and started laughing.  Some of those pictures are so bad they are great.  So I wanted to share.  I k now it seems crazy.  Usually when a blogger post a slightly blurry shot they apologize and here I am dedicating a whole post to blurry/out of focus/etc pictures.  I guess that’s just me, a little blurry and out of focus.

This next one is my favorite and the one that inspired this post. I think she looks like the “monster” guy from Gooneys

What do you do with your “other pictures”? Do you have any to share? I can promise there will be more here soon.

My babywearing stash

Posted on by

The lovely and talented Steph from Adventures in Babywearing has invited us to show our stash.

Here are all of my baby carriers.

I have a Moby wrap, a Kozy Carrier mei tai, an Infantino carrier and a Peanut Shell sling.

My favorites are the mei tai and the Moby wrap

Lily’s favorite (and because of that the one we use the most) is the mei tai

I was wondering how other people stash their stash? I haven’t found a good convenient place to put them in the new house yet. For now they are in my diaper/blanket cart, but now that I’ve washed most of my cloth diapers this cart needs to get reorganized.

Any suggestions?

Aloha Friday 6-12-09

Posted on by

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So Kailani thought that on Fridays she would take it easy on posting, too. I like the idea, therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. Be sure to check Kailani out.

How do you find time to do everything you want/need to do in a day?

I am now a WAHM and I realized I just don’t have time to do everything I want to in a day.  I am so far behind in my blog reader that its scary, I have no idea how or when I’m going to get caught up.  Oh and and then there’s my blog, my poor blog that I hope doesn’t fall through the cracks.  I’m going to work really hard to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Sorry if I haven’t commented lately or if my comments are shorter/less thoughtful then before.

Something really cool happened this past Saturday. Lily laughed for the first time. Over the rest of the weekend she laughed two more times and that’s probably all I’ll get for weeks but it was amazing.

Taking this weeks pictures were a fun challenge.
First she wouldn’t put her Oball down.

I suggest this ball to everyone with a baby. Is great. she loves it.  I add the links to it for easy grabbing.

Then there’s the grabbing for camera, apparently its very tasty.

And of course the standard foot shot.

I did get a couple of good shots, this is one of my favorites.

I think Lily saw all the pictures of Maia with her tongue out and now that’s how Lily spends most of her time.
