You Capture is back on track and more active than ever. This week's assignment was "cute" -- and as luck would have it, Mack received a kite this past weekend that is just awesome. I saved a few extra shots that I didn't use in my last Dear Mackenzie letter so I could...
I had a lot of fun coming up with "fresh" things to find and photograph this week, and ended up with a few shots that I didn't even expect. In fact, when I read this You Capture challenge, I didn't have a clue what to photograph. So I have a feeling this will be...
First off, I'd like to thank the "family" of NOH readers who entered the Refueling Power Moms Giveaway this past weekend. What an amazing response from your all and I absolutely appreciate all the support and love you have not only shown to me, but also to all the...
There are no official linkups for YouCapture for the next three weeks, because our lovely host Beth has just brought a new baby girl into this world. And I think she fully deserves that time off. But she's given us some topics to keep busy with in the meantime, and...
Green. A few years ago, when someone mentioned the word green, I probably only would have thought of things which are the color green...grass, leaves, money and other random things. But now I also associate green with sustainable living and living "green" as well. Our...
This week, Beth from I Should Be Folding Laundry challenged us with "apples." It just so happens that we have lots of those around right now. In fact, we will probably be harvesting 100 pounds or so of our own apples this weekend, and pressing them for juice....
The challenge this week from Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry was "peace"...and I have to say that we don't have all that much of that around here most of the day. Mackenzie is going 120 mph all day until she passes out, and when she's not all crazy, it seems like...
This week Beth decided to mix things up a bit at I Should Be Folding Laundry and gave the challenge of "ordinary moments" for us to photograph. Here at No Ordinary Homestead, I'm not sure that anything we do can really be considered "ordinary" but I tried to find a...
As I mentioned on Tuesday, Laternenfest was this past weekend...so when Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry announced that the topic for this week was happiness, I was pretty stoked. (Yes, that is actually a word I use in every day speak.) We had plenty of fun, happy...
Our challenge for the week was "white" -- and at first I thought that might be a little difficult. I mean I didn't want to capture the usual stuff so I just started looking a little harder. At first I didn't see much, but now as I sit here writing, all sorts of other...
