Stop torturing everyone with forced poses, have some fun with your holiday photos this year!
When I was younger I remember being forced to huddle with the family to take the “annual family holiday portrait” as everyone moaned and groaned while pictures were taken with every camera in the house.
One year we all wore the same holiday sweatshirt and another year everyone wore a red sweater.
This went on for years until us kids finally reached the rebellious teenage years and started refusing. But they still scrambled everyone together every year for that holiday photo with the awkward fake smiles. And they almost came out exactly how they felt…forced.
Don’t get me wrong. Family portraits are important, and holiday portraits of the entire family are a great way to capture the season. But there are some amazing ways to capture those special moments without having to force a smile.

With only a couple weeks left until Halloween, it’s time to start thinking about what candy to buy and what our trick-or-treaters will be wearing. But aside from candy and costume shopping, it’s also important for parents to find ways to keep their trick-or-treaters safe while they hunt for their favorite treats.
I have it easy since my kids are too small to prowl the streets without parent supervision. But what do you do when your kids don’t want you to tag along?
Halloween is supposed to be a fun light-hearted celebration filled with candy and fun-spirited pranks. But with over 41 million trick-or-treaters roaming the streets nationwide, it is important to have fun and stay safe.
AT&T helped me compile a list of important safety tips for families to keep in mind before children hit the streets in search of goodies.
Be sure to check out the entire list of Tech Tips for a Safe Halloween.
Okay, I know what you want to ask, why on earth do I have a picture of Can o Crickets on my blog! And will tell you why… because an actual cricket is just unattractive.
Anyway the reason for all this cricket talk is to explain why I haven’t been posting and hanging around much. Aside from being busy working on a re branded bizziemommy.com, I’ve had a lot of other things happen throughout the summer. We moved… There was a layoff… and then another layoff… a business launch and job search… and LOTS and LOTS of stress!
But we are finally getting our heads out of water and things are starting to get better and more manageable. I am working again and doing something I love, the kids are back in school and love their teachers, I won the Running on Empty Sacramento Workshop, and everyone is healthy, so aside from a messy house, I don’t have much to complain about.
So we’ve had a pretty hectic summer, which is the main reason I haven’t been posting per usual. The other reason is I have been hard at work with rebranding bizziemommy.com and I can’t wait for the big reveal.
So please stay tuned, sign up for the newsletter so you’ll be the first to know.
I’ll just preface this post with, yes I know it’s been said before. The hub’s has said it; the parents may have even mentioned it in some form or another. But sometimes it takes a complete stranger to make a revelation.
So let me set up the scene.
This morning I read a post by Darren Rowse, 3 Stupidly Simple Reasons Why Most People’s Photography Does Not Improve and I was totally guilty of the last two. I always take my camera with me, even to the grocery store, even to bed, but when it comes to actually using it, that’s a different story. Normally I’ll think to myself, “Wow, that would make an awesome picture.” Then go about my merry way. Yes dumb I know. But I’m not a photographer…
It goes without saying that when you have a lot to do time seems to fly by 3x faster than you want it to and keeping up is just downright impossible. For the past couple of months I’ve been trying to juggle some major life changing decisions while adjusting to life as a work at home while shopping for a new place to live (just in case the owners decide to sell) and next on the list is a six-year olds birthday party. Juggling one thing at a time doesn’t seem to work in my world and something will always fall to the waste side.
For the past few months it has been this blog. I’ve been so busy writing on LifetimeMoms.com, designing our business site, my portfolio site and scanning for new freelancing opportunities, I haven’t had time to keep up with BizzieMommy.com. Alas I’ve just been so busy, sorry had to say it.
But it’s time to get back on track with BizzieMommy.com and take it to the level I’ve been wanting to for years now. But I want to ask what interests you the most?
Photography talk, true work at home mom confessions, business tips, tech product reviews, web design tips, and/or gadget news or something else entirely?
If I started an online newsletter what would interest you most? Do you like the weekly interviews? Would you prefer to watch video interviews instead of reading an interview post?
I also wanted to let you know there are some new posts coming soon, some really cool tech product reviews and photography accessory reviews that I am sure you will love.
In addition, I’m looking for some more mom entrepreneurs to interview, so if you are interested shoot me an email.
That’s all for now, off to get some more work done and catch up on some posts.
