Insta Friday

Hello There! I thought that I would join in on today’s Insta-Friday held over at Life Rearranged.

Here are some of the photos that I have taken this week. It has been CRAZY busy as usual….

Angry Kid is sporting @elislids newest edition, the fedora. It goes well with his soccer uniform, doesn't it?
Angry Kid is modeling one of Eli’s Lids newest products, a Fedorable. Yep, doesn’t he look cute with his fedora and um, soccer uniform? Angry Kid has a VERY large head. I was laughing when Kara gave me the hat. I tried it on and explained that I have the same size head as Angry Kid. Nobody believes me, but you can see here how big his “little” head is.

Happy Valentine's Day to me. Yogurtland after doing paperwork all day at work.
A little Valentine’s Day treat for myself.

Tis' the 15th of the month. #meon15 #febphoto366
Me on 15! A little random participation in Feb Photo 366.

My mommy got me two pieces of vintage aqua colored Pyrex with the farmer print for Valentine's Day. Husband does not get it. Giggle!
I am 36 years old and my mom still gets me Valentine’s Day gifts. I think that this gift is even better than chocolate. Vintage Pyrex in the butternut pattern, in AQUA!

Went to @teraraestephens this morning to get my hair done. As usual, she fixed my hot mess!!! The before photo was taken last night. Six months into Operation Pixie Grow Out!
Project Pixie Grow Out. I NEEDED some color bad. My roots were beyond scary. Tera also cut off my mullet. My hair is growing out nicely and she cut it to be like a bob. Yippee, my hair looks almost normal now.

Obstructed Views

I was invited to Disneyland on Saturday for event celebrating the Holidays at the Disneyland Parks.  I big puffy heart everything about Disneyland. It is truly magical.  But things like parades and fireworks at the parks, give me a little road rage. That is the only way that I can describe it. I am not a tall person by any means, 5’4″. So it can become difficult when I’m attempting to take photographs.

We were dead center on Main St. USA at Disneyland for the “Believe… in Holiday Magic” Fireworks Show, which should have been perfect viewing, except for the fact that a man standing about six feet in front of me, was like seven foot tall, I am not exaggerating ok maybe a little.  I pushed my way up to the front of our area, but I have a lot of internal cursing (ok so I might have said a few obscene words outloud) going on during the show. I love viewing the fireworks, and photographing them is a HUGE bonus. I was completely spoiled during HalloweenTime at Disneyland. We had the perfect view of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for the Fireworks show. I took some AMAZING photographs.

I had to edit a few photographs, to show the head, I mean obstruction.

Sleeping Beauty's Castle and Fireworks
Fireworks at DisneylandAlthough, I had SEVERAL, ok hundreds of photographs with obstructed views, or mainly, a LARGE HEAD in my photographs, I think this photograph really captured the moment. Everyone looking towards the castle, as the fireworks are ending, and “snow” is slowly starting to fall. Because really, Disneyland is MAGICAL.

Disclosure: I was provided tickets and a fancy dinner via Disneyland for my family.  I will have a much more detailed and awesome post about their Holiday Events later this week. I promise. All opinions are mine.

Magic Moments

We have four computers in our house, two Macs and two PC’s, three iPhones, and two DSLR cameras.  You can imagine the amount of pictures that we have stored.  But they are all moments that document our lives.

We’ve had some firsts this summer.  Even though we haven’t traveled the world, with some local day trips and excursions, we’ve had a blast.

Project 365 220/365: Angry Kid on the climbing wall at camp today. He had an awesome day! Thanks @TiffanyRom

A few weeks ago, I drove my son to a friend’s day camp in Los Angeles.  It was well worth the drive.  He had a blast, and at the end of the day, he climbed a rock wall. This kid has NO FEAR.

Angry Kid and friend paddling along the lake

Today, Angry Kid and his friend, Mehley, had an unexpected adventure on a kayak. It was pretty funny. All of the moms thought that they would have to be brought in by the bigger boat. But they made it back. And then they hopped on a paddle boat. I could only imagine the conversations going on between them.  It was hilarious trying to watch them at the beginning when they were near the dock. Of course, I was standing on the edge of the dock with my iPhone, taking numerous pictures.

As I mentioned before, we have tons of photographs. When I look for photographs for blog posts, etc., I usually have to check iPhoto, Flickr, Shutterfly, Facebook, and my husband’s PC for the photographs. We have them stored multiple times on these different devices, and websites.

I recently found out that I can store all of these photos online, in one place, with a simple login to view them.  I was introduced to ThisLife, a photo and video solution for people whose Moments are scattered across their phones, desktops, photo websites, and social services.

ThisLife

I recently uploaded some photographs that I took at the Orange County Fair to ThisLife.  I’m always jumping between computers and I still need to edit many of these pictures. Let’s just say, that I am a little behind. I love how they were all organized in chronological order.

ThisLife makes organizing your digital moments easier.  Introducing ThisLife, the Magic Box that gathers, improves and organizes your photos/videos for you in a chronological timeline while keeping them all safely stored in the cloud. As ThisLife says, “go ahead and cross “organize photos” off your to-do list…we’ve got you covered.”

You’ve got to try this service out. It is awesome. ThisLife is offering my readers 6 months of free Adventure Box service, which allows you to store up to 20,000 photos.
