We just completed our fourth annual Clickin’ Moms’ Scavenger Hunt, and, as always, we had a fantastic time doing it! This is CM’s 5th year of hosting it, and I am a little bummed that I didn’t participate the first year as it’d be so cool to know we’d been there since the beginning, but […]

There’s a story behind these photos… I am a member of an online photography forum that is near and dear to my heart, called ClickinMoms. It’s a wonderful group of mostly women of all skill levels–our common link is that we share a passion for photography. When you are actively involved in a community like […]
