Keeley - This is one of my favorite photos! You may see some flawed editing, but I see warmth and closeness.

January 21, 2013 - 12:36 pm

Amy - Oh dear, I am totally guilty of over-saturation. It’s like I can’t help myself. Maybe someday I’ll be able to look back and see how far I’ve come . . . :)

P.S.–I’m with Keeley, I love this photo even with the flawed editing!

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - Literally laughed out loud :) Oversaturation… #photographerproblems

Nadette - I don’t see flaws, I see love. Definitely one of my favorite pics of yours.

Parker Potter

Today we’re a little Harry Potter obsessed.  My sister received the entire collection of movies as a Christmas gift, and since she’s watched them all already, she let us borrow them for a few so we can catch up to the rest of the world. We’re only finishing up movie #3, so no spoilers please. […]

Amy - Ah, the Parker pups . . . always up for adventure! (though he does look a bit as though he’s quoting Dumbledore in his mind, “We must try not to sink beneath our anguish . . .” :)

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - Lol! You make me crack up! He’s not a fan of mom’s photography antics – AT ALL! Too bad for him, he’s the only willing model in the house ;o)

January 8, 2013 - 7:22 am

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - You should definitely check one out. Even as a non-fan, it’s definitely worth seeing!

January 8, 2013 - 7:57 am

Tamar - What a fun trip!! When we traveled to the UK 10 years ago, I begged my mom for a trip to see Man Utd play to no avail!

January 8, 2013 - 9:05 am

Wanda (At Last...) - Finally back for a visit here Maddy. Loved a little peek at all the fun you had overseas. (And happy we’re back at it at CG.) Missed you! xoxo W

February 4, 2013 - 4:33 pm

Nadette - That’s such an awesome gift, and you’ve been to a real football match in Europe before I have. Clearly, you’re winning.

March 18, 2013 - 12:33 pm

The Guilty Hyena - A super gesture on your part, glad you both got to visit Anfield. From the looks of it you sat at the Main stand :) Did we manage a win that day ? It’s not easy being a Liverpool supporter of late, but Kleber has good choice of football club. ;)

March 18, 2013 - 12:44 pm

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - They did…barely! And from what I heard, it was from a so-so team (Reading). But it was still a lot of fun!

March 18, 2013 - 12:50 pm

The Guilty Hyena - Ah! yes… I think young Sterling scored his first senior debut goal, ha-ha sounds like us we always do it the hard way! :)
