Carolyn Braden: Baby Cardinals

2013-05-25T19:37:00.001-04:00

This is the second year we have had a bird family settle into our giant rosebush. It's a great location because it keeps them and their little ones away from predators. After seeing our cardinal family today (the babies left the nest today), it made me do some research. I was concerned when I saw them walking around my yard. I've kept my dogs out of the yard and was wondering how long I was going to have them stay out. I read that the parents try to wean them away from needing to be fed by slowly nudging them out of the nest. After the female nurtures them in the nest, the male takes over when they leave. Our female and male parents are still both around and still feeding them. It's interesting to see them "train" the babies to fly. From what I read, our family is right on target with what they are supposed to do for their babies. The male and female will feed them a little and fly away a little causing the baby to try to fly towards them to get fed more. One of the babies is much bigger than the other. They are working more with the bigger one to make it fly and are still trying to nudge the little one to stop sleeping and try to fly. Nature is truly an amazing thing, especially when you see animals taking care of their young like humans do.

Carolyn Braden's Eskie: He Loves to Model

2012-11-20T22:58:00.001-05:00

Here's my amazingly talented and smart American Eskimo, Vegas. He was on a Hallmark card a couple of years ago and hasn't stopped modeling for my camera since. He actually gets excited to work with me. I love my Hipstamatic app. Here's some pics from our recent photo shoot.

Carolyn Braden's Monica the Maine Coon

2012-09-02T22:14:00.001-04:00

She once was a tiny kitten that we knew would soon grow.
We loved her and raised her but little did we know.....
She'd be a giant!

As a female main coon, she could grow until she's five years old. She's a beauty. She was born into Congo Coons and we knew she was to be our baby at one week old.
She's our beauty queen! I've been loving her morning ball games.....she brings me her raffia ball at 6:00 am during the week. She's my fun wake up call. Very smart!

Say a Little Prayer

2012-05-07T21:56:00.000-04:00

Dear God,

I pray to keep my grandfather healthy. I'm sad for the family and need you to keep grandmother remaining strong no matter what.

Amen.

Seize The Deal or Seize Your Money and Run?

2012-01-27T17:59:00.001-05:00

I will never buy anything from Seize The Deal again and I encourage others to do the same. In a recent purchase of 4 Christmas gifts, my recipients mysteriously were unable to use their gifts. As it turns out, unknowingly to me prior to purchase, Seize The Deal hired Digital Doorstep to deliver the gifts. DD just went bankrupt. When you call DD, their phone is disconnected. When you talk to Seize The Deal, they say to call DD because it's their fault. Even their CEO will not speak up. No where on ANY paperwork does it say Seize The Deal would be hiring another company to deliver the goods, therefore Seize The Deal should refund the money. But, even after talking to them non-stop, they will not take responsibility. It is STD's (oh wow.... not a good abbreviation!) problem and they are to refund the money of the 6000+ people who purchased this gift and then they are the ones that are supposed to sue Seize The Deal. Our bank is going to help us out and I am contacting the Better Business Bureau and as many news stations as possible to spread the word of this horrible company. They need to ask themselves what I ask my students. "What is the right thing to do?" If I don't get anywhere with my ideas soon, I am contacting my "higher-ups" to take the steps necessary to get my money back because this is wrong. Never have I had a problem with a company not taking ownership of a serious wrong doing. It's really really really really crappy of STD.

Carolyn Braden says "Support the Dizzy Feet Foundation on National Dance Day, July 30th, 2011.

2011-07-19T18:36:00.000-04:00

I am learning the NapTabs routine from "So You Think You Can Dance" to do on National Dance Day. It's on July 30th, 2011. I'm hosting a "Zoolander Zombie" party that day and plan to do the dance flash-mob style. The song is "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO. I've listed the links to the intermediate and the easier dance in case the master dance is a little tough (it is fast!). I've recruited some friends to help me out on this. Support the arts and dance on National Dance Day!

Carolyn Braden says "Bridal Bouquet Trend"

2011-07-04T13:53:00.001-04:00

A friend of mine was a photographer at a wedding recently and the bride's bouquet should have had it's own photo shoot. She made the bouquet out of vintage flower pins. The base was styrofoam. This bouquet is one that will last forever!

Carolyn Braden's Revolutionary Idea

2011-07-01T01:10:00.000-04:00

I just finished changing the look of all my blogs. I love a change of scenery sometimes and they just needed some sprucing up. Most people make all their changes in their lives when the new year is arriving. Maybe my new year is arriving at this moment. It is never too late to make a change in your life. Try a fun new recipe like Baked Alaska. Try swimming for exercise instead of lifting weights. Hang out with people that make you laugh instead of cry. As we all know, tomorrow is just another day but maybe it should be your revolutionary day.
