Do Life Right

After taking photographs of my daughters as the letters of the alphabet, they wanted to try making numbers, too.  We recently got around to doing this and here are the awesome results (they were taken in Rancho Sahuarita in December 2008).  We’ve made something really exciting with these numbers that I’ll be posting about very [...]

From the moment each of my daughters were born, you’ve seldom been able to find me without a camera close by.  A favorite thing for me to do is to take photographs of my second daughter in the same environment and clothing as her sister wore at the same size.  Here are a few photographs [...]

Lovin’ Spoonfuls is our favorite restaurant in Tucson, Arizona.  It’s currently the only pure vegetarian (vegan) restaurant in the greater Tucson area — you’d have to go all the way to Phoenix for another all vegan restaurant.  While my family has become really good at navigating “regular” restaurants as well as vegetarian restaurants (which are [...]

As I’ve recently posted about, my Always Unschooled 12 year old recently turned 12. For her birthday, we planned the whole day around her and what she wanted to do (we actually do this often, but somehow birthdays are extra special). She wanted a surprise (to the guests) Chinese New Year’s birthday party, [...]

My Girl Scout troop has been doing a lot of art related projects recently. In honor of that and in order to be inspired to try a few new types of art, we recently visited several art galleries. The overall favorite was the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun, located in northern Tucson, Arizona. [...]

My family and I recently went on a tour at the Titan Missile Museum in Sahuarita, Arizona (south of Tucson). While close to us and very interesting, we are especially thrilled that Star Trek - First Contact was partially filmed at the missile site.
Here are some photographs of our experience. We didn’t get [...]

It’s officially prickly pear fruit harvesting season here in southern Arizona. Our prickly pears, a.k.a. tuna (Yes, Tuna!), are beautifully ripe. Some are even falling off their pads. We’ve been surprised at the various colors of the fruit - we especially like the bright red ones that look almost like radishes. Today’s [...]

This is my third post on this topic. Click here for the first, and here for the second (this one has photos of my older daughter’s hair donations).
Earlier this week my 7.75 year old daughter, Teagan, decided to donate her long hair to Locks of Love. Here are some before and after shots. [...]

Sounds ominous, doesn’t it?
I was hanging out in my older daughter’s room earlier this week and we took a minute to look outside (around 3:00PM local time, for those interested). Immediately, I saw a really long snake crossing our driveway with a little bird trying to catch its tail. We then saw several [...]

We recently checked out the Prehistoric Dig event at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. It is a very nice garden and my family enjoys the different special exhibits the garden displays. Here are a few photographs of our recent visit. Our quick review: It is a very nice (but small) garden and [...]
