How to Take a Great Back To School Photo, “Focus on Photographing People” Book Review and Giveaway
Aug 16th
School is about to be back in session for another year. School signals turning another page to the chapters of your child’s life. Your children have been excited to head back to school, and you have shopped for the supplies and the clothes to make their first day back perfect!
And as most moms know, we LOVE to capture these back to school moments with a photo or two. So, I was excited to have the opportunity to review the book, “Focus on Photographing People,” by Haje Jan Kamps.

From Haje Jan Kamps, “It probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone that I have a longstanding love of photography. The only thing I like more than taking photos myself is encouraging others to develop as photographers and watching their photography come alive. As such, I spend a lot of time writing about photography; I blog over on Pixiq, and I’ve written and edited dozens of books.
Taking photos of people is one of the most fun things you can do with a camera. You capture personality, emotion, and life in all its glory. You’re quite likely to run into me roaming the streets of London with my camera, hunting for another slice of life, captured through the art of street photography.
People are one of my favorite subjects for photography, whether I’ve captured their essence in a studio or out in the streets. In this book, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about photographing people, step by step. It doesn’t matter if you’re not that self-confident as a photographer; I’ll take you right through from the basics to the nitty-gritty of getting portraits that dazzle, amaze, and inspire.”
Some tricks to capture the perfect back to school photo:
1. Get in closer – The closer you get, the more emotion you can feel pouring from the photo.
2. Focus on the eyes – The first thing your audience will look at is the eyes of the subject. Be sure to get them in focus – perfect focus – and you’ve won half the battle.
3. Watch your background – When taking photos of people, your subjects are most important, so ensure that the background doesn’t detract from your photo. You can do this by moving your subjects (putting them in front of a clean wall instead of a messy bookshelf) or moving yourself (changing your perspective).
4. Interact – Engaging with your kids and making them laugh will create memorable photos. Sometimes the best photos are the most candid.
5. Think of the environment – Obviously, you want to focus on the kids, but if you can include the school bus or classroom in the background, this will help tell the story for years to come.
REVIEW: This book was great, it goes over the fundamentals of digital photography, and it is clear, simplistic and easy to follow. I really liked the key points in each chapter, that helped you zone in on photographing people better. My favorite tip was to “focus on the eyes.” This book is perfect for the beginner photographer to the more experienced looking to refine their skills or learn more about photographing people.
(Last year’s photo: We had the Cars backpack, and of course his favorite toy at the time Nemo.)
BUY THE BOOK: On Amazon for 10.97
Giveaway: One Lucky Life of A Modern Mom reader will win a copy of Focus on Photographing People by Haje Jan Kamps.

Baby Bond Nursing Cover Review and Giveaway
Feb 28th
CLOSED
I was recently introduced to the BabyBond Nursing Cover! It is perfect for nursing moms with the advantage of being able to see their baby, yet it keeps themselves covered.
The BabyBond Nursing Cover comes in three different styles; the original, the flex, and the couture.
BabyBond Original is worn with shirts that are accessible to nurse from the top and has a built-in burp-cloth and matching pouch storage pouch.
BabyBond Flex is worn with shirts that are accessible to nurse from the top and has a removable burp-cloth and matching pouch storage pouch.

BabyBond Couture is adjustable and can be worn with shirts that are accessible to nurse from the top or the bottom, and it rolls up into itself to store.
I received the flex in charcoal color, and it is perfect. It is made to nurse from the top, and has a removable burp cloth. It is made of a soft, durable 100% cotton. It is very convenient, and it rolls up nicely into the diaper bag. Little Miss does not particularly like being covered with a blanket, and I would find myself looking under the blanket to make sure she is latched, well the Baby Bond Nursing Cover solved that issue. I enjoy being able to have eye contact and bonding with my baby. I highly recommend this product for all nursing moms!
BUY IT: It is available for 35.99 on Amazon.com, get yours today!

The Chalkboard Tee Review and Giveaway
Feb 3rd
Sponsored by Tomoson.com
CLOSED
I was so excited when I saw the tee shirts offered by The Chalkboard Tee from Class Attire. It is hard to find FUN and cool clothing for toddler boys! And this t-shirt was a hit! I picked out the grass skyline t-shirt, and it came with a neat little box of chalk. Mr. Toddler was so excited to get to color on his shirt. It was super easy to draw on the chalkboard part of the shirt, and it was easy to clean with a damp rag. It has a little pocket on the bottom of the shirt to store the chalk, WHAT A CUTE IDEA! The best part is the shirt has a very soft feel!
The t-shirt came in the mail very quickly, and in a cute cardboard container.
I would have to say that this t-shirt is FUN and GREAT! It was certainly a WIN with Mr. Toddler!

In a little less than a month our baby girl will be here! I am so excited! Thanks to My Blog Spark and BabyCenter.com, I have just been able to experience my first labor and delivery class online. I have wanted to take a birth class, but with my work schedule, toddler schedule, and husband’s schedule, I just wasn’t able to find the time, well now I can experience the class online-which is GREAT! Even though I already have a toddler, and have been through pregnancy before, I still have questions.

The diapers look fantastic and I love the fact that they are safe for little one since they are chemical-free. The books were full of information for first time moms or a well-seasoned mom, it included information on pregnancy as well as the babies first year of life. I found both of these books to be educational and offer great information! And the online class was an excellent tool to prepare me for my journey into labor in the next few weeks!

The Family Dinner Book Review and Giveaway
Nov 9th
Closed

By Laurie David with recipes by Kirstin Uhrenholdt
From the Publisher’s Website:
The producer of An Inconvenient Truth, Laurie David’s new mission is to help America’s overwhelmed families sit down to a Family Dinner, and she provides all the reasons, recipes and fun tools to do so.
Laurie David speaks from her own experience confronting the challenges of raising two teenage girls. Today’s parents have lots to deal with and technology is making their job harder than ever. Research has proven that everything we worry about as parents–from drugs to alcohol, promiscuity, to obesity, academic achievement and just good old nutrition–can all be improved by the simple act of eating and talking together around the table.
Laurie has written a practical, inspirational, fun (and, of course, green) guide to the most important hour in any parent’s day. Chock-full chapters include: Over seventy-five kid approved fantastic recipes; tips on teaching green values; conversation starters; games to play to help even the shyest family member become engaged; ways to express gratitude; the family dinner after divorce (hint: keep eating together) and much more. Filled with moving memories and advice from the country’s experts and teachers, this book will get everyone away from electronic screens and back to the dinner table.
My Review: One thing I remember about growing up is that every night we all sat down to dinner TOGETHER! It was part of our daily routine, and I looked forward to sharing my day with my parents. Now that I am a mother myself, I would like to continue this tradition of togetherness for one meal a day. There are several recipes throughout the book, but what I enjoyed reading about was how to make dinner time an enjoyable family experience. My family is still young, I have a two and 1/2 year old and a baby coming very soon. But I want to start this tradition while they are young, and have it continue. I want my children to enjoy dinner time, and I want them to be eager to share their day with us.
Here are a few ideas I noticed to make dinner more interesting. There are several in the book, but I chose ones that would make my toddler smile!
- Cover table with butcher paper. Scatter crayons around the table. Artistic eating
- Set up wood train set around place settings. Include trains for kids to move around.
As for the recipes: There are several wonderful healthy recipes in this book, and quite a variety to choose from. Some of the ones I would like to try:
- Chipotle Orange Shrimp
- Soy Good Maple Glazed Salmon
- Savory Sausage and White Bean Stew
- Chicken Piccatta
- Apple Cider Chicken
This book is wonderful, it provides ample recipes, as well as great ideas to bring dinner back to the dinner table!
Buy IT: On Amazon for 18.93
Giveaway: 1 lucky Life of A Modern Mom reader will win a copy. (1 per household)
Open to US and Canada. Giveaway ends: 11/29/10 at 11:59 CST.
Mandatory: Tell me about your family traditions at dinner time, or why you would love to have this book.

Dominick’s Just For U, Review and Gift Card Giveaway
Oct 7th
Here is a great review and giveaway courtesy of Dominick’s new electronic savings program Just For U! Dominick’s just released it’s Just For U program in the Chicagoland area, and I was lucky enough to try it out. For my Readers I’ve got SIX $25 Dominick’s gift cards to give away to six lucky readers!
Dominick’s stores all over Chicagoland are making it possible for shoppers to save even more money than before with the “Just For U” program. This program is an added bonus to your Fresh Values Card, and it customizes your savings for you. All you have to do is log on and create a Just For U account. It creates personalized deals for you based on your past purchases that are added to your card. You also can click on coupon deals, and add them to your fresh values card as well, and the discount comes off your bill at checkout. The deals are good for 90 days and can be used each time you shop. These offers can also be combined with other coupons for additional savings. And when you create an account you will be able to add a coupon for FREE dozen of eggs and get them free next time you are in the store.
My Review:
I have to say that I am a terrible coupon shopper, and a busy mommy. Afterall, what mommy isn’t BUSY! I wish I was better and more organized at looking for the coupons to save a little more every time I shop. Well, Just For U program might be my answer, I can now save more easily. In the past, I would never take the time to cut out coupons. And if I did come across a coupon, I always seem to forget to bring them to the store. But I am an internet junkie, and so if all I have to do is add the coupon to my account–I AM A DEFINITE FAN! What an advantage: No coupons for me to remember to bring with me to the store, and when I just run in to buy a few groceries, I don’t have to feel bad that I forgot the coupon, since the savings are already there for me on my Fresh Values Card!
In summary, what do I find fabulous about the Just For U program:
- You can add coupons to your card directly from the website, saving time since you are not looking through adds to cut out coupons!
- You don’t have to bring coupons with you to the store! (My personal favorite!)
- Saves money on those items you buy everyday!
- You will be able to use those savings on your Fresh Value Card over and over till their expiration date.
- You can combine those savings with other coupons from Dominick’s/manufacturer’s coupons.
Another Bonus: Dominick’s is giving away $25 gift cards every week for 10 weeks on Twitter, so be sure to follow them at @Dominicks for a chance to win!
