Wordless Wednesday - Not so much

I wanted to share with you some of MY favorite pictures that I took in 2011. You all know that I love to take pictures (almost as much as I love to throw a great party and I take well over 2000 a year...from an artistic view, these are some of my favorites. (left out a ton of my kids...)  

One of my goals is to become a better photographer...
(all pictures were shot with a Nikon 3100, by me)


I took this at a b'day party for a good friend of mine.



I took this while we were apple picking. This is my son's camera that the grasshopper is on.


Farmer's Market


NYC At Grand Central Station - before a train rolled in, love the angle, hard to get this.


Obviously, the best place on Earth! (lol)


In our woods - just picture a fairy hiding under it!


Looking up our long driveway towards the house


our backyard - I was actually outside with him about 20 feet away


captured this by accident, not posed at all..




Love the lighting!

Looking forward to see what my lens will capture in 2012!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
