Unleash your kid’s creativity: give them a camera

On March 24, 2011 · 10 Comments

In a recent post, I promised this photo essay. After viewing the pictures, my husband and I gained a new appreciation for our children’s sense of humor. But then we wondered, ”Is it a little warped?”

We were on Nicaragua’s volcanic island, Ometepe, and had just finished dinner. Brian and I wanted to relax with our caipirinhas. The kids were done sitting.

When traveling, give your children the camera

On March 11, 2011 · 20 Comments

Forget DVD players, ipads, activity books, and games. When traveling, give your child the camera and they’ll be entertained for hours. 

My camera didn’t cost thousands of dollars, and if you’re handing yours over to the children, yours probably shouldn’t either. Nonetheless, tell your child you’re entrusting them with a valuable piece of family equipment, and hopefully they’ll be empowered to take extra [...]

For this!

Can a day get much better?

On March 21, 2010 · Leave a Comment

The day we landed on St. Vincent happened to be Remy’s fifth birthday. I don’t remember my daughter having much interest in flowers before we moved to Petit Byahaut, but once there, she became obsessed with them.

   

 

I couldn’t blame her. We were surrounded by a myriad of amazing tropical [...]

One photo, a thousand words

On January 12, 2010 · Leave a Comment

 

I love this picture. I know Remy’s hair is in her face and both her and Simon’s eyes are closed, but this picture tells a thousand words.

Simon has his eyes shut tight because he doesn’t want to have his picture taken and he thinks we won’t see him if he can’t [...]
