Somebody Should Photograph That


Photo-A-Day #3510

It is sort of a running joke in my office that when something needs to be captured digitally then I will do it. I generally have my backpack with me that has all of my Samsung Imagelogger cameras and so I always have a camera on hand with which to capture the moment. So this morning when the sun came up and looked amazing one of my co-workers remarked, “Someone with 3 cameras should take a picture of that.” I wish I had my head about me at 6:30am after 36 hours of work for the weekend to have said, “Well, it won’t be me, I have five.”

Yes, I am up to five cameras from Samsung as part of the Imagelogger program and soon (I’m hoping sooner than soon) I’ll have the brand new NX1 in my hands. That is a professional grade camera that can shoot 4K video. I’m excited to see what I can do with it.

I spent the day with Eva today. It was her first ever sick day from school. She had a pretty bad sore throat and was stuffed up and generally in lousy spirits. We played and I tried to get her to rest as much as possible. She helped me with a couple of upcoming toy reviews so that helped brighten her spirit. She even took some of the photos for one of the reviews. I was really impressed with her camera work. I wasn’t even with her when she did it. She composed the shots all herself.

Meal preparation is one of the things that I do while Allison is at work. Sometimes I like to surprise the family with a tasty dessert. I’m always looking for new ideas and coming up with some of my own. When asked to participate in this #ThankfullySweet project with #CollectiveBias I was excited because I could use my creativity with Mrs. Smith’s Pies and Kraft Cool Whip. An all new dessert was going to become part of my repertoire. If you need more inspiration, check out the Cooking Up Good website. It has recipes, sweepstakes, loyalty programs, coupons and more!

Mrs. Smith Pies and Cool Whip Purchases

Is there anything more delicious than a big dollop of Cool Whip on a piece of pie? I am going to say yes, yes there is. I’ve created two desserts with the same ingredients and they were both big hits with the family. At least one of the desserts will become something I will serve again. Actually, this coming weekend I will be serving it to the folks I work with. We’re doing a Pie Party Pot Luck over the course of the weekend. I will be introducing everyone to the Sweet Potato in the Pumpkin Patch Parfait, right after I tell you all about it in the video and recipe below.

What is really nice about the Sweet Potato in the Pumpkin Patch Parfait is that you can have a little taste of many dessert flavors and textures in one cup and not overdo it. Continue reading Sweet Potato in the Pumpkin Patch Parfait is #ThankfullySweet #CollectiveBias #Ad
