A MOM BY ANY OTHER NAME...
This week one of the Simple Things that made me smile was receiving this beautiful rose from my youngest son at his school's mother's day celebration. It was a very special program. I always love attending these and receiving the special gifts my kids prepare.
His school decided to use the word Mum on the rose tag instead of Mother or Mom. We are celebrating Mother's Day at the same time that it is celebrated in the US not in March as they do in the UK, but they used the British word for mother. Not that I mind. I just find it interesting. I like being Mum too. And sometimes Braden calls me Mum especially after he's been playing with one of his British friends or watching an episode of Kipper.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
I was a guest blogger on Saturday as part of a PHOTOGRAPHY series about purchasing a DSLR.
On Saturday I was the guest blogger over at Lorraine's blog, The Vue from Here. Lorraine is in the market for a new camera. She is frustrated with the limitations of her point & shoot camera and wants to upgrade to a DSLR. She has enlisted the help of five DSLR users to share their experiences and knowledge to assist her in making her decision.
To read my article Do you need a DSLR or should you upgrade your P&S?, click! I compare some high end P&S cameras with an entry-level DSLR.
The week has been full of great information. Head over to The Vue from Here today to read Lorraine's conclusion to the series and find out what she has learned about cameras this week. Will she buy a P&S? A DSLR? Which one?

LOAD: Day 7
My son is not too excited to answer my questions any more, so to add some novelty to the process, I created an online survey for him so he would play along. Read this post to see a portion of the survey.
The lined paper is Ali Edwards from a Lisa Bearnson Kit of the Month from a couple of years ago. The grunge frame is Jessica Sprague.
