Teeter Totter
Finding a Balance Between
"Me-Hood" and "Motherhood"

In this blog I'll be covering as wide a variety of subjects as the duties of a real mom in today's culture.


From raising special needs children, family vacations, marriage, relationships, sex, cooking, local to-do, school (both for you and the children), working, hiring a daycare provider, arts and crafts, decorating, holidays, to well... EVERYTHING!

No holding back.

I LOVE your pictures!!!  The butterfly is a great inspiration for a textile print and the UC Davis pics look so "alive".  I love the way you captured Sacramento with the bridge-it makes Sac look like a really interesting place.  And the San Francisco lighthouse looks like a postcard; I mean that in a flattering way!

I can't wait to see more!  You've really inspired me and re-sparked my creative outlet (it's been out for a while).  Keep on keepin' on girlfriend!

I can't believe you got a picture of a gopher! They move really fast.

Your pictures are great. I'm so impressed by people who have an eye for photography.

Thanks ladies! I never used to like to take photos till I got my Sony Cybershot a few years back. I was raised "If people you know aren't in them, it isn't a picture." So maybe it's the rebel in me that takes shots of gophers and flowers. And yeah, I think that was the first time I saw a gopher in person. He was poking his head up during the Ren Fair last weekend.

I'm glad you all liked them.

thank you for sharing I always enjoy your blog writing and now there is beautiful photos too.. what a treat!!

Thanks! It's funny, the only way I can get my photos to show up IN a blog, is by copying it straight from my other blog page (the one I do just for my creative stuff). It's worth the hassle once in a while just to get some big pics in.

Gorgeous pics!  I love the brigde.  Kacie (daughter) likes the gopher the best.

These are beautiful photos...they are really soothing and peaceful to look at...I like your new photo too of you and I am guessing your son...that is really an adorable picture...you are a very talented woman...I love reading all your posts also, I know I can usually get a chuckle or laugh from at least one because you are very witty... :)

WOW! Such high praise (now my head is all big like Mickey). Thanks so much!
I got all tech savy and took the pic of my son and I off the SacMC banner to use for my profile pic. Glad you like it!

My favorite is, what looks like an unfurling fern?  From UC Davis. It's lovely.  Please, Keep going...keep it up...Whatever your doing,  it's wonderful.  These are wonderful!   Your profile pic is inspiring as well.
