Taking photos of your families is something we do all the time. I have over 1000 photos of my daughter's first two years of life! Even after all that practice, I could still use a few pointers!
Take a Great Photo
Photographs are an important way to preserve special memories and document events in the life of a family. Following are some tips to help you get the most out of your camera:
1. You never know when a good photo opportunity will arise. You are at the park and your child learns how to climb the monkey bars all by himself. Or you are at lunch with a friend and Junior decides to kiss the waitress. Photo opportunities pop up when you least expect them! Be prepared by keeping your camera and a spare roll of film with you all the time. If you can't do that, invest in a small disposable camera to keep in your purse or diaper bag for those surprise moments.

by A Dude's Guide on May 8th
Let me see if I’ve got this straight: In a household that’s mostly Dude!ttes, farts and feces aren’t considered the height of wit and sophistication? Wow, what a strange world they must live in.
I’ve got three (not-so) little Dudes!. Which means, of course, that any gaseous exhalation from the nether regions is cause for much laughter, hand waving, attempts to talk without breathing through their noses and, when done very, very wrong, running out of the room at high speed. No fart goes unnoticed and no fart goes unpunished. This is what passes for humor in my house. I’ve tried to get them to change, but I’m pretty sure laughing at a trumpet-blast of smell is hardwired into the Y chromosome.
I decided the only way to deal with it is to work with it. We’re trying to think up new words to describe farting. That way, I’m hoping, they’ll be laughing at words, rather than smells and sounds. African barking spider, stepping on a toad, dueling trumpets. We’re nothing if not gross, we Dude!s. Any euphemisms used in your house?
