I love photography. Candid snaps of my family on our little adventures, are photo's that I always treasure and take pride in. They're are the perfect way to keep memories of special occasions and the more ordinary moments. However, there always tends to be one person missing because either me or my husband always seem to be behind the camera.
I would love to have a series of photo's taken where someone can capture one of our adventures - getting those candid shots ...

What? No free ranging? Are you kidding me??!! Afraid not kiddo.

We haven’t allowed our chickens to free range since early December 2016. The Chief Veterinary Officer declared a Prevention Zone to help protect poultry and other captive birds from a strain of Avian Influenza (H5N8) in Europe. Since the Prevention Zone was announced, cases have been confirmed across the UK. By continuing to keep our flock separate from wild birds and maintaining biosecurity measures on our premises, we’re... Читать дальше...

Nothing really captures the magic of Chicago like a timelapse video. Eric Hines is a photographer and videographer who has produced amazing timelapse videos focusing our country’s most beautiful locations.

Wednesdays...bleck. No one wants to get out of bed on a Wednesday. Rochester, New York based rockers Slumbers provide us the perfect soundtrack for every Wednesday with their tune "Doboom Soom". Give a little love, buy their new record Come Over - Slumbers">Come Over, follow them on Twitter, Soundcloud or maybe check them out over at Bandcamp. I know it's Wednesday, but still...do something.

Yup, I am still looking back at 2016. January is not yet done, so I am allowed, I think. Anyway, recently, I posted my favorite books that I read in 2016, and now I want to talk about other memorable experiences last year. Brace yourselves, this is going to be a long one.

Planning to build a shed? First things first: Know the different types of wood for shed building. This will help you determine whether the wood you intend to use is durable or not. Don’t waste money and time. Here are 7 types of wood for building sheds:

Ask any wedding planner and they will say no, but wedding decor is of course optional. But you’ll be hard pressed to find any big day without beautiful florals, installations and personal details. The job of wedding decor is to transform your big day into your dream vision and theme, but some pretty things actually serve an important purpose, and those are wedding signs! The use of wedding signs has grown immensely in the last several years, and they’re pretty much a must these days, but it not... Читать дальше...

Wedding proposals happen all the time, including in the frum world. The classic proposal has the guy getting down on one knee, asking, "Will you marry me?" and then, often, offering forth a diamond ring. Sometimes the story goes down a little differently, but mor eor less that is generally how it works.

So, a guy proposes to a gal he has been dating, and she says yes and accepts the diamond ring. They make plans to marry, and eventually the day comes and they don't get married. They broke it off. Читать дальше...

We all have a personal narrative, and listening to the stories of others helps us learn more about ourselves. My husband and I, our 4 adult children and 5 grandsons just traveled to the basin of the Ecuadorian Amazon River where peace of mind is a natural commodity. It was a breath of fresh air to visit the indigenous Achuar people, as ecological mindfulness and family life are two of their top priorities. They number 6,000 and live on two million acres of ancestral territory, a remote area where... Читать дальше...

We’re ready to fight back.

I don’t actually remember what happened to the condom—just that it was on one minute and then not on the next. Afterward, when my boyfriend and I realized what had happened, we sat on the edge of his twin bed, half-dressed. I knew I wanted to buy some Plan B emergency contraception.

I was sixteen when this happened. As a teen in Texas, I had seen firsthand how hard it could be to get ...

From Les Leopold, republished in Naked Capitalism: The definition of “white” and of “race” in general depends on the needs of the most powerful elements of society. To justify slavery and Jim Crow, race science gave Southern elites a justification for denying human rights to millions with darker skin colors.
The “science” of the early 1900s created finely grained racial hierarchies that conveniently justified immigration restrictions and colonialism. Colonial powers argued that since their “race” was at the top of the ladder... Читать дальше...

From Callister Brewing in Vancouver ...

Hey. Hey you, yeah you.
I've got it now,
I understand what's going on.
I'm a guy in this story,
There's no other explanation,
I'm just a guy in this story.

I'm this guy in this story
About love
And missed opportunities
And understanding
And misunderstanding
And understanding
That life is eternal
But our brief experience of it
Is fleeting.

I'm a story.
You are a story.
He told a story,
She read his story,
They became a part of each others story. Читать дальше...

Some of you who know your military history may know what “burn the boats!” means.  If not, “burn the boats!” refers to the strategy that commanders used after landing on the shores of an enemy.  After the boats landed and the soldiers hit the beach, the commander would order the... Читать дальше...
