The special thing about having a wheat field behind your house is that it’s the very first thing to show a hint of green in the Spring.
I completed the first 20 or so photos and sent them in to be reviewed to make sure they were what the publishers had in mind.And they were not.
Not even close.. One of the problems was that they had pre-decided on a very specific format, size, and dimension for these photos and it was just not within the realm of possibility for me to make cleaning photos work within those, mostly.It’s kind of hard to take a really nice, book-worthy photo of something in need of cleaning, really, and sometimes the way that I make my blog photos work is by changing the shape or angle of a photo.Or I just use the ugly photo anyway but it works because it still provides you with the info you need.
But that won’t work for a book of course!.And then the other problem was that I’m not a mind reader.
There were a few photos that I thought actually turned out really nicely and would be really fun additions to the book, but the publishers really didn’t think they showed what needed to be shown for those particular parts of the book.
I still maintain that those were perfect photos for the book because I’m just a fun person like that, and it really is kind of a fun book, but that’s just water under the bridge now!.The kids are back in school, routines are being established again, and it’s a great time to set things right in your home before the big holiday rush takes over our lives!
The bathroom is obviously one of the dirtiest places in our homes and it can be a lot of work to keep it super sparkling clean on a daily basis.If you’re like most people and only have time to give it a quick once-over-when-it-needs-it during most of the year, this “Fall Cleaning” time is the perfect time to get to those parts of the room that you don’t normally get a chance to clean.
Sure, the bathroom looks pretty good with just a quick daily or weekly cleaning, but if you really get into all the nooks and crannies of the room, that’s when you’ll really see it shine!It’s great to experience that for yourself, even if it’s only once in a while and even if it only lasts a moment.
