Favorites

Welcome to the favorites page. Here you will find links and information for many of the things that make my life as a mom, partner, friend, researcher, wannabe photographer, and inspiration-seeking traveler a little bit better.

books

I get many requests for book recommendations so I've created a book store at amazon.com that is set up in categories like parenting, creativity, and our mother-daughter book club. Click on the book to visit my amazon.com store.

photography

If you follow my blog you'll know that I took up photography during the 2007 breakdown spiritual awakening. It's been one of the best things that I've ever done. Click on the image to learn more about the camera equipment I use (thanks to some really great photographer friends), the equip I'm saving up to buy, and a DVD that really helped me understand my camera. I also love, love, love my camera strap from here!

My favorite on-line photography class is here. My favorite community is here.

music

I can't imagine my life without music. It's truly one of my great loves (and something that I share with my true great love - Steve). I'm willing to listen to almost anything and I'm always adding new artists to my list.  Click here to check out the essentials (always on my list). 

Click here for music profiled on my blog! (there's certainly overlap).
