Hi, I'm Bethany, I'm a photographer, part-time adjunct college instructor and a Mom to a crazy 16 month old who I have more photos of than I know what to do with. I just recently started participating in the Shutter Love Tuesday challenges and it has been a lot of fun so far! I am excited to be the guest judge this week and see everyone's wonderful photos!

Introducing MckDaddy (again)

We needed a new post, and MckDaddy delivered. Enjoy his first post on his "new blog", which is actually just a folder on MckMama's site with its own look and feel. He chose to write a satirical political post, and links in this post are ad-free, so click away.

I have no commentary; to be honest, none is necessary. As Mark Twain said, “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”

Laugh and Learn DVD set & Book Review

★ Laugh & Learn is a great site for expecting moms, friends, birth coaches, husbands, families and many more. Really, at first I thought, “What more do you need to know?” But Wow, there was so much to learn while viewing the videos and reading the book. I am done having children and wished I had these to review with my first pregnancy. I was scared. Didn’t know what to expect. I had only seen my sister in law have kids. It was a breeze for her. I went to lamaze class and left scared and confused. After 4 c-sections I was pretty much done. LOL It would have been nice to learn how to talk to my doctors. The right questions to ask. Basically get to know my pregnant body as well as breast feeding, which was difficult at first and learning about new born care. You can buy all the books you want, but nothing I ever had would ever compared to these wonderful videos. I am a very visual person and if you are like me, you will love them too!

I received all three videos for review as well as Sheri’s book- Laugh and Learn about Childbirth. How wonderful that I was able to view them. I thought I didn’t need to review this because I already had my kids, but boy was I wrong. I will take what I have learned to all my friends and even to my children when they have kids. ★

Laugh and Learn About Childbirth – Book A very informative, easy book to read. Learn everything to do with childbirth and laugh along too. The illustrations are amazing and guess what moms, daddy’s will love it too. There are even tips in there for them. I recommend getting this for yourself, even if you are done having kids and as a gift to anyone who is expecting.
