If you missed last week, I wrote about capturing recipes. I saved the most important for last. But it’s also the hardest to capture. The incognito, the rare, the [...]

People tell me I take good pictures. Sheesh, that sounds kinda braggy but I don’t mean to be. It’s just I think people sell themselves short when they break out the camera. They think it’s because they don’t have a fancy camera or that they don’t know what words like aperture or depth-of-field mean. Well, [...]

Finally getting around to posting some pictures I took of the kids back in February. In lieu of paying a great photog for a photo shoot (I am out of a job, ya know), I did it myself. I ran around like a crazy woman to get some shots of them. Sweat was “swut,” oh [...]

Beach bound this summer? Well, forgive me if you’ve already taken your beach trip for the year. I’m a little late. But for all us crazies who like to sweat it out in July and August, this post is for you! Even the rare picture taker lets the camera make an appearance during a beach [...]

For the longest time, whenever we’d go hiking I’d take snapshots of just scenery and more scenery. But then, I’d get home, upload my pics and wonder, were we even there? I started realizing I could have just bought a postcard for the same effect. So, I’ve gotten more creative over the years with my [...]

I’m Melissa. Most people call me Mel. I’m a mama to two boys and a lover of all things outdoors. I'm a marketer who hearts good grammar. I also love Twitter, my Mac and all things techy.
This is Daddy Roo. We met in 1995, got married in 2000 and had Big Roo seven years later. Yeah, we like to take our time. Daddy Roo plays soccer, loves cooking more than I do and takes sarcasm to a level few people can. He’s awesome.
Big Roo is our 4-year-old ball of energy. He’s all boy except for the pink bear he carries around. I embrace the contradiction. He’s already a fan of hiking and camping.
The youngest of the Roo family. He loves eating kiwis, chasing his brother and swinging in our backyard. He also loves attacking his brother with a squeal of laughter.
