Grandparents Day Photo Shoot

I'm really bad about taking photos of my kid and getting them to the grandparents. They've quite complaining because nothing works. I like to enjoy the moment instead of living behind the camera and when I do snap a few pictures from my phone they certainly never get printed. (who does that anymore anyway?) My one redeeming factor? I love to do photo shoots and strangely enough so does my daughter. She can pose and smile on command. So once a year around Grandparents Day (September 7th) we do a photo shoot. 2nd redeeming factor? Online printing and shipping. I go to walmart.com look through this years options and send it on to the correct address...I never have to touch it!

Last years photo shoot.

Last year we did an art theme. Walmart has a $10.00 easel and 4x6 canvas set. This year we couldn't decided between these three pictures so we made a collage. $0.88 a print. We'll let the grandparent dig around for a frame. We know they have one!

How do you send out pictures? Are you a pictureholic? Or a picture minimalist? Do you print online or in store? What are some of your favorite way to print...canvas, collage, mug, photo book? If you are going to print a picture do you print everything you took or just a select few?

Have you ever thought of doing a photo shoot just for fun? What if you got one of your older kids to be the camera man? What theme and costumes would you use?

Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 21, Shower

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, celebrating Easter with family and friends. This week we will be focusing on the bathrooms. (I hope you don't have very many) Because I'm not getting this post out till late morning you might consider swapping today's task and tomorrow's. If you get up early and have already taken a shower you might not want to clean the shower today. Instead you can jump ahead to tomorrow and clean the shower curtain and liner. Then tomorrow morning when you take a shower you can clean it. Do whatever works best with your schedule. CHALLENGE: Clean you shower(s) till it sparkles. Here is a link back to the post about shower cleaner. It really does work the best; It makes my shower tiles sparkle! I find that taking a shower while cleaning it is the easiest way. If you have multiple showers, you might consider not getting soaking wet every time, or asking a spouse or child to help you. Take a scrub brush to work on grout mold, and a sponge to wipe
