Isn't this picture great?! I took this shot while on a family vacation this past summer, in Florida. Since we live in the desert, we absolutely love our time at the shore and in the ocean. My son had the best time on this trip, and this picture will tell you exactly why, he lived in the warm surf. I was lucky to catch his face in this wave, as I think it catches his feelings so well. My concerns, as a mother, are that one day my children may not be able to enjoy days like these. Lets each do our part to keep our beaches and the oceans clean. Do your share to keep your footprint on the planet, as small as possible. One day, I hope to take my grandchildren to the beach, and to catch each of them in a smiling, happy shot, just like this!

Lightbulbs

Ok, If you haven't done it yet, its time to change out those light bulbs with the energy efficient kind. You have probably seen pictures of them in magazines, or you may have even passed them by in the aisles of your local grocery store. I bought some to replace burned out bulbs through out the house and then bought more to use as the rest of the bulbs blew. You can do the same! Remember, the bulbs DO cost more, but they also LAST LONGER! The package says they will work for up to 5 YEARS! Crazy, right? These energy efficient bulbs do give off a different kind of light, more of a yellow color than the clear, bright light we are used to, but they work well and HELP THE ENVIRONMENT!! So, next time you walk by those funny looking bulbs in your neighborhood Wal Mart, stop and buy a package. Every little bit helps.
