You are AMAZING and how do you look so good given everything you have to do! Truly you are inspirational!
I am so excited to answer this very good question, I am sure many of my readers wonder the same thing. Thank you Lilly for being not only kind enough to notice my good looks, but also curious enough to ask how I get them!
I thought It would be helpful for you to see what I begin with every morning.
I have three beauty secrets- not everyone knows how faithful I am about doing them.
But since you asked, I am going to let you all in on my secrets.
1- Exercise. I exercise my arms every day with a can of diet coke. I do about 15 repetitions, or until the diet coke is gone. If it is a really bad day. I will repeat as often as needed.
2- Botox. Since I moved to SOuthern CALifornia, I’ve found this necessary. A few pokes a few times a year and my eyes stay open whether I’ve had two hours of sleep or 6 hours of sleep. Kudos to the makers of this amazing little drug!
3- photoshop- This is my greatest beauty tool of all. It would never be possible to grace the pages of this blog without that wonderful tool. “Edit photo” is the button most often clicked on. I can erase lines, remove dark circles, zits and age spots. How sad is that to be cursed with both. Anyway, the above photo is untouched so you can appreciate even more the work that goes in to creating my illusion.
So there you have it readers. I was very happy to share my secrets, because I believe everyone should have the same opportunities to be lovely.

Now I know why you give me a sleeping pill before we lay down and get up 2 hours before me……….. THANKS BABY!!!!!
LOL-
I have one sure way to catch complements from my 7 yr old girls. I just have to put on something pink and glittery and they tell me I’m as pretty as a princess. It makes my day.

The best advice i can offer as to photography is learn the manual settings on whatever camera you have. Even point and shoots have manual settings and understanding them is the best way to take better photos. That and get into natural light and away from flash. Flash is evil lol.
But if you have specific questions i would be more then happy to help out. Starting with, what kind of camera are you using? From there i can help you.
I love photography, its my passion.
And thank you for the link! Ill be sure to check it out. Oh and for Digital Scapbooking, I picked up some cheap, easy software at WalMart called Print Workshop, i have 2007 version but they update every year. Its pretty much drag and drop from there.
LOL – You are hilarious. That was teh best post ever,
OK I will take your tips on board but something tells me that you have to have the basics to begin with. Love a laugh I do. Thanks!!!! And I am still inspired by you – by the way I love those beautiful smiling faces in your last post!!!! No photoshopping required I am sure.
I so want to get Photoshop too – now I have a reason – still laughing.
OK, this made me chuckle like a mad thing!
I now see where I am going wrong with the arm exercises…I’m using fat coke *palm to forehead*
xx
Haha!
This totally made me smile, though mine may not be a cute as those lovely photos you recently posted. Great blog–keep up the great work with the 14 kids! Reminds me of some of my friends. Though I am only the oldest of 4, I know at least two families with 12, one with 14, and a few with 6-8 kids. Gotta love family!!
LOL….too funny! I loved this post!!! Although I guess my arm exercises aren’t working because my weights are the fully sugared coke…dang…I hate that diet crap!
