February 28th: "Hobby"

The challenge for the day is "Hobby".

I have so many things that I'm into for today's "Hobby". Several of them I have covered in some of the other challenges for this month. So I'll use todays challenge to cover Music, Photography, and Video Games.

Music and dance can always bring joy to my life. If it's not playing it, then it's listening to it, or dancing to it. I love such a variety of types of music, too. My favorites probably being punk, alternative, and grunge. But don't get me wrong, I love everything from listening to the "Rat Pack", to folk music and bluegrass, to blues, classic rock, big band, and more. Music always has a way of being in tune with my life and picking me up when I need it the most.

Of course, I can't leave out photography for a "Hobby". I have a collection of old cameras, specifically Kodak cameras many which have been in my family since their younger days. I have two old bellow style cameras that use to be my grandparents'. I have my Dad's old Brownie camera along with a couple of other Brownie versions. And I have my very first camera that I started on which was an Instamatic with flash cubes. I love that these have captured so many great memories throughout my family, through the years. It's nice to have something from them that was used during many happy moments in their lives.

I really love spending time with the family getting to laugh and play video games together. Yes, my kids are way better than me for the most part. I can still own it though when it comes to old classics like Mario. We play on anything from computers, systems, or handheld devices and a huge variety of styles of games. It's a great way to get some family time in or even one on one time with the kids.

So what kind of "Hobby" do you have? Share your favorite stories, memories, locations, and pictures with us. We would love to see and hear about it. "Making Memories" is what is so important to us.

#27 February Photography Challenge

The challenge for the day is "Down Low".

Just like I think it's important to look "Up High", I think it is equally important to take time to notice things "Down Low." Sometimes the most mundane things can be amazingly beautiful if you just take the time to really look at them. The goal of life isn't to get through it, it's to live it! And noticing the world and those tiny precious moments around you can make all the difference in the world. To really make memories, you need to be actively involved. Did you ever really take the time to notice that pond scum that you thought was so disgusting? It's really just thousands of tiny beautiful plants. Did you notice that knot in the tree? I can suddenly become abstract art. Or maybe, just maybe, take the time let your mind wander, to play, and make up a whole adventure. Alice in Wonderland had the ability to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary. So whether you are outside in nature or just around the block or out with your friends or your families, look up from those worries, stresses, work, and phones, to take time to really enjoy life and starting "Making Memories."

So what have you noticed "Down Low"? Share your favorite stories, memories, locations, and pictures with us. We would love to see and hear about it. "Making Memories" is what is so important to us.

Don't forget to share your favorites with us. We can't wait to see how you get creative.

#26 February Photography Challenge

The challenge for the day is "Up High".

I have never been disappointed by taking the time to just look up or even look down from really "Up High". On our many adventures I have come across such amazing wonders along the way. This could be some crazy huge dinosaur and it's little one trying to peak inside a childrens museum. Or maybe it's a one of a kind hands-on adventuresome museum made completely by reclaimed architecture. Or an Air Force Museum with huge and varied aircraft suspend from it's ceilings. Then there is always unique architecture in itself like St. Louis' Arch or CN Tower that offer amazing views from both looking up and looking out. Wonderful caves of wonder exist with such unique nature made secrets. Air shows and amazing art works can also catch your eye. You just never know what you'll find until you look!

So what catches your eye "Up High"? Share your favorite stories, memories, locations, and pictures with us. We would love to see and hear about it. "Making Memories" is what is so important to us.

#25 February Photography Challenge

The challenge for the day is "Parents".

My "Parents" have been the best example a girl could have in life. First off, they survived me and my brothers which is no small feat. Then they had so much love to share to do this all over again (despite us first three) and adopt my three beautiful little sisters. I've seen them go through hard financial times to come out ahead creating and running their own business. They are always able to make the best of any situation. They've taught us to plan for the rainy days and then to go out and dance in that rain to make the best of it. The strongest characteristic about both of them is their love for each other and the generousity that even in tight times they have always shown. They are both fun, lovable, smart, generous, silly, playful, kind, and protective of their own. They have not only been my parents, but also my best friends and biggest cheerleaders. I am so very thankful for them every day.

So who will be your example of "Parents" for todays challenge? This could be you, your own parents, friends that are parents, or even puppy parents. Share your favorite stories, memories, and pictures with us. We would love to see and hear about it. "Making Memories" is what is so important to us.
