This morning I managed to lock myself out of our bedroom.  A few years ago, when our teenage son was living here, people were in and out of the house at crazy hours.  That got me scared for guarding my precious little treasures so I put a lock on the door, a real lock that needs a key to open.  Read more >

My daughter’s sister in law got married on Saturday, and I had promised that hubby and I would take care of the little ones so everyone could enjoy themselves at the wedding.  There were a few hours between the ceremony and the reception, so the plan was to either drive the babies around for an hour so they would nap in the car, or to take them home for naps in their beds.   Read more >

Brooklyn Beans Roastery Our Keurig Platinum B70 has been one of my favorite all time coffee makers.  We became single pod coffee machine users when Tassimo first came out years ago. Gevalia was our favorite coffee back then and we were thrilled to be able to make one fresh cup at a time.  Neither hubby or I like the taste of coffee that has been sitting in a pot on the warm setting for any length of time.     Read more >

About Me: 

Hi, I'm Karen.  Nice to meet you!  My hobbies are floral photography and gardening.  I plant my garden with flowers for their artistic potential.  I love dahlias and cosmos, and quite frankly anything that blooms.  I belong to Boerner Botanical Gardens in Hales Corners, WI.  I go there for photo's and inspiration.  

I hail from Milwaukee suburbia, the Fox River runs just past our property line.  I'm the proud mom of 2 incredible children, one is 29 and the other is 31.  There are also 2 beautiful and sweet grandbabies in my life.  And 4 pups.  Turbo, Holly, Ted E Bear and Cho Cho (named after ChoChoSan in Madame Butterfly).  

I shoot with a Nikon D300 and mainly the 105mm micro for macro shots, and the 28-300mm for everything else.  When we are somewhere like the zoo to shoot, you can hear me muttering "i wish i had more zoom".

I often wish I had taken more photos, but no regrets of anything I missed.  

The Indigo Girls and The Beatles are a few of my favorite bands, but my music taste varies widely from rock to Opera.

I've been to one Blogher Convention in San Diego in 2011.  Seeing how many women out there are like me with something to say inspired me to start writing again.

 This year I will be a 5 year breast cancer survivor!
