Be here. Be now. Be SEEN.

Momtrepeneurs

Fine, I can admit I don't love that word--it just doesn't flow off the tongue, you know?  But that's just me, and I have a FOB tongue which means so many Engrish words give me trouble!

Anyhow, what I DO love is being around these talented, engaging women who work the equivalent of half a dozen jobs and still call themselves stay-at-home moms.  Their passion for their work and their ability to deftly balance (yes, I split an infinitive, I'm sorry) work and home life is awe-inspiring.  And as for my part, I totally dig it when I am able to incorporate their existing design scheme into new promotional items like this collage, which uses the owner's trademark zebra print and turquoise banner along with her font:

The mutuality of parentage

I'm an only child, which means no such thing exists for me.  So of course, I'm completely fascinated by the moment when an only child ceases to exist and forever becomes a sibling, permanently binding his experiences to that of another soul who shares the same basic upbringing. 

I think this little guy is going to make one heck of a big brother!

Have camera, will photograph

My camera is not so discerning.  It can't discriminate whether you're a person, place, or thing.  It just wants to capture the moment.

So if are fine French products sold in America,

you're an attorney looking to revise your website,

or you're a floral artist who wants to add more images of your work to your portfolio,

my shutter still clicks for you!

Well...maybe it has a mild preference for kids.

Okay, okay...fine!  I can admit that preference is pretty pronounced sometimes, especially when I see smiles like this one:
