Photography whether it be traditional, digital or smart phone driven is a big passion of mine but only became so after I had children. I wanted to capture every, single, moment of their lives which in turn caused me to take photography a little more seriously.

The United States Social Security released their official list of the top baby names in the United States. Jacob and Sophia appear yet again as well as quite a few names that have remained on the list for the past decade, however there are a couple of new arrivals, such as Liam, who made the list for 2012.
When I was pregnant with my babies, this particular list came in handy as it gave me a list of names to stay away from. Each parent is different I suppose, but I didn’t want my kids to have a name that was super popular. How about you? What are your thoughts on the subject?
To view the entire list of the most popular baby names of 2012, visit Disney Baby.

Did you know that June 1st is Drawing Day? It’s a worldwide event that started off in 2008 as a way to encourage people of all ages to “drop everything and draw”. It is also a great way to show appreciation to artists and illustrators. Michaels is celebrating in their own way this year.

Their craft specialists will demonstrate various sketching techniques in half-hour sessions that start at 10:00, 10:30 and 11 a.m. Each session is just $2 per child ages three and up.

Camping season is just about to begin and I for one have started making plans on where we will be going this year. Since my girls are too young for sleep-away camp, family camp is the next best thing. I did a little bit of research and put together a list of the top 30 family camps in North America. Whether you live in Canada or the United States, there are plenty of picks here for all. Camps for artsy families, musical families, adventure seekers and faith-based camps are also listed.
Take a look and tell me what you think. Do you camp with your family every year? If so, where do you go? Would love to hear!
