Photography
I love taking pictures; especially of my kids. I’ve taken over 100,000 photos, and learned a few things in the process (mostly through trial and error). I share some pictures and some tips here.
Books
I love to read (when I can find the time). I always have one on my Kindle and a real book on my bedside table. When I find a good book, I love to share it. So many books, so little time to read them.
Toys
I’m still a kid at heart. Now that I have two kids of my own, I get to play with their toys. I share some of my thoughts about the best fun toys here.
Random thoughts
My thoughts on other topics are here as well. There are always so many exciting things going on. You can see the entire collection of my random musings here.

Guess What Moved into My Owl Box! Not At All What I Was Hoping For…
Recently, I was out in my backyard filling my bird feeders when I glanced up at our owl box. We put the nesting box up in one of our trees several years ago, and finally, last year we had some wonderful Screech Owls that nested in it. It was so fun to watch the...
My First Adventure with My New Pelican Kayak
You may have read my blog post a while back talking about how hard it was for me to find some kayaks during the pandemic. Remember that? It was titled Hooray! The Kayak Shortage is Over! At Least for Now... When I first started looking for a kayak, I watched lots of...
