This is what happens when your kids don’t want to cooperate with you when you need photos for your blog posts.
I ended up giving up trying to get a good photo! For my fellow blogger friends, do you have days like this too?
Wordless Wednesday – Fashion In NYC
The things you see when walking the streets of New York City! Of course I seen worse but this one I had to share.
Hanging With Buzz The Honey Nut Cheerios Bee
So this past week Buzz the Honeynut Cherrios Bee has been hanging around with me in Citrus Heights, California. Buzz is on a virtual tour across America to “meet” fellow “beesciples” who love Honey Nut Cheerios and deliver free samples.
This past week we have been busy finding fun things to do with the kids for summer vacation. Buzz decided he wanted to follow us along on our journey and it has been a blast.
This week we wanted to take a trip to San Francisco, but stop at a couple places on the way. Our first stop was the Nut Tree in Vacaville, California. Since Buzz is the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee, we knew he would want to stop here!
He tried to take the train but we convinced him to stay.
Our next stop was one of our FAVORITE candy places, the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield California. When we arrived Buzz just had to get one of the Jelly Belly employees in the picture too!
When we walked in there is some pretty cool Jelly Belly motorcycles. We told Buzz he couldn’t touch but I think he was ready for a ride.
Here is a picture of me with my cute Bee antennas on!
Once we got to San Francisco, we wanted to put our feet in the sand so we headed to our favorite spot, Baker Beach.
When Buzz saw our feet in the sand, he wanted to participate too!
Before we left, Buzz wanted so show everyone he seen the Golden Gate Bridge!

Professor Kobre’s Lightscoop Review
One thing that I LOVE to do is take pictures. For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for photography even as a child. I have had my share of different cameras and finally splurged on a DSLR camera last year and wished I would have took the leap sooner.
When my camera arrived I couldn’t wait to start using it. I will admit that I do use the auto feature often but I have bought some books and plan to learn how to use my camera in manual mode. Once I started using the camera, knew I wanted to try another lens besides the one that came with it. I take quite a big of pictures of food, but wanted a lens that would take better closeups. I got my lens and have been taking some great shots but I am always looking for a way to make my pictures look even better.
The past couple months I have been using a handy camera accessory called Lightscoop. This is an attachment that goes on my camera that helps take better pictures when you have to use your flash. If you are someone that takes a lot of pictures like me, you probably know that the flash on your camera has a big effect on how your picture is going to look like once it is developed. I happen to take quite a bit of indoor photos, so this little accessory has really came in handy.
Let me show you the difference…

You can see that the second picture looks quite different with the Lightscoop in use. I like to take pictures with and without the accessory to get a variety of shots.
With the Lightscoop attached, you are able to redirect your camera’s pop-up flash to a ceiling or wall which can cause a dramatic effect on a photo. With using flash, often you will find that your pictures have shadows, hot spots and most of all red eye. By using the Lightscoop, you can create soft pictures with natural light and can avoid some of those problems I just mentioned.
Take a peek at this video that helps explain more:
What makes this accessory even better is the price. The Lightscoop is only $29.95 with FREE Shipping! Buy yours at: https://www.lightscoop.com.
