Bye Bye Booger Monsters & Debut of "In Love"

As most families are experiencing, the Booger Monsters have been on full attack in our home for the past two weeks.  Our little sick one eventually transfered her little germs to mommy and daddy, leaving all of us feeling terrible!  Snot nose smiles, and heavy eyes, we've been couped up in quarantine.


And that Booger Monster stirring up trouble in our chest, nose, and head made our little cutie a little cranky.  But its kind of cute!
She went from this:

To this:

To this:

Oiy, what a bit of frustration it was trying to keep up with a whole lotta that!  But there was a whole lotta this:








But we're just about all better and we can say BYE BYE to the Booger Monster.  Which has helped me to pick up my camera again.  I've completely abandoned it this past week and I'm loving the feel of it in my hands.  I've been really learning what it means to see it as a type of art, so I've been busy trying to learn and perfect MY style.  I was a cookie cutter.  I admit I was, and I'm trying to fit into my own.  Not to be better, but to be ME!  And its fun!  I'm no pro and I have a lot to learn, but I'm loving what I'm doing and loving to learn as I go.  


And , I've realized that I need to let myself be in pictures more often... SO... guess what, soon you will get a surprise visit from my husband.  He's agreed to do a "From My View" post of ME!  HEHE, vain I know.  So get ready for that.

AND... SOMETHING NEW IS COMING.  I've committed to staying true to my blog and its purpose.  To inspire.  To Love. and To extend Grace.  So I don't want to fall short of that in order to gain a popular following.  But, I will say that in that I can and will host a Photo Meme!  YUP.  Starting on Monday I'll open up "In Love"


It's a Photo Meme spreading the LOVE around the blogsphere.   So this monday, its open to FREE interpretation.  Take a photo of anything you're IN LOVE with.  ANYTHING!   So make sure to spread the word and get thinking!

  6. Jhen,

    I am glad you all are feeling better. I, too, have been trying to get back or to stay focused on the reason I began blogging. I have enjoyed learning about photography, sooooo much, that I have let it become primary and I want it to be more of an equal to sharing my heart. Thanks for reminding me and encouraging me.

    I love the meme idea and will spread the word.
