State of the TAM - 3rd May

What’s Up?

It’s my mum’s birthday today! She’s…younger every year! Meanwhile Izzy just turned four whole months old!!

So for a joint celebration we went up to Rowallane for a picnic. ORIGINALLY I had planned to take Mum down south for a week, but…you know. I can’t drive right now and the puppy can’t get her passport until she’s six months. So, here we are. My mum, her favorite kids, and me :D

Pupdate of the Week

This Saturday I took Izzy and Jax over to Bangor to do some fundraising for Northern Ireland Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rescue. It was raining, so afterwards Jax and Izzy got to go in for a puppuccino (they shared!). Izzy VERY MUCH enjoyed the experience. Jax would have preferred to have a pup cup all to himself.

By the time we got home Jax was exhausted from being such a good boy. He had to have a hard nap up on my bed while Izzy rioted around downstairs.

This looks so neat.

This is entirely what I would do if I worked for Jurassic Park. Tiny little killer lovebirds.

ALSO I would like to reiterate that the people who say that dinosaurs wouldn’t be scary if they had feathers? They are people who have CLEARLY never been chased by a goose.

Must Read of the Week

I always love articles like these. Don’t get me wrong, I approach every selfie/photo opportunity with double-chins on deck and a weird expression on my face. But THEORETICALLY I could put some of these tips into action.

The Do’s And Don’ts For Striking A Pose To Always Be Camera Ready

If we had to guess, we would say that the only time taking pictures wasn’t common was when the first cameras were created. Nowadays, it’s uncommon not to take pictures, especially when basically every single technological device has a camera now. While it is great to take photographs — whether it’s for showing off or to save your favorite moments in your camera roll — the tricky part of this process is that it isn’t always easy to take good pictures. You have to be mindful of the lighting, angle, pose, outfit, and lots of other things! Luckily, many photography experts offer their help on Instagram, and one of them is Bonnie Rodríguez Krzywicki. Bonnie shares lots of tips that will make your photos look as if a professional photographer took them. Enjoy these 45 photography tips to make you look great in your photos!
