My wife is literally due any day now. She’s no longer working as per her doctor’s request – instead, she’s staying at home, resting a lot, and doing some “nesting”-type activities to get ready for the child’s arrival.

I can’t wait.

Photographing Children- Portraits After my recent mention of expensive child photography in a reader mailbag, another thoughtful reader sent along this great article on planning your own photography. The only thing I would miss, quite honestly, are the class photos. We actually do this type of thing for many family photos and other such things. (@ more style than cash)

However, if that money is enabling them to live an unsustainable lifestyle, that child is going to have some incredibly serious problems if the gravy train goes away. (@ one frugal girl)
