Both long-time residents of St. Paul, Minnesota (they have each lived in the area for more than 35 years), these two friends are using their local experience, their technical prowess, and their…

Slice of Life – I Heart Faces Challenge
Slice of Life: Candid. A glimpse into a moment of life. Real. This was one of my favorite “people pictures” from my Girl’s Photography Retreat with Adobe last month. This is what you get when you gather a bunch of photographers together and set them loose on a city like San Francisco. Lots of pictures,…
Breakfast for Picky Eaters #NutellaParty
How often do you struggle to find something nutritious for your kids (or yourself) to eat for breakfast? We always hear that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what about those who are like me and don’t like eating cold cereal? Do you have a hard time getting your kids to…
Finding Balance and Being Present
One of the hardest things about making the transition from dedicated-stay-at-home mom of young children to a work-at-home mom of older kids was finding a balance between getting my work done and giving my kids (and my house) the attention that they deserve. It is a constant concern for me, and one of those issues…
Top 10 Reasons I Want Dish Network

Wordless/Wordful Wednesday a la Instagram
Here are a few of the things I captured with my iPhone this week: Iphone pictures might not be the best in terms of quality, but I love the fact that I am getting photos of moments that I never would have captured before. And I am IN some of the pictures, too (incredible!). Linked…
Spring Clean Your House
The cold weather may not be completely gone for the season, but there has been enough Spring-like sunshine, warm rain, and blossoming trees and flowers to serve as a sign that Spring is officially here. Like many others, I feel an urge to clean my house in the Spring. After months of having the windows…
Japan Quake Relief
When I was 13, I was sitting at home watching TV when the earth started to shake. Growing up in California, I had experienced plenty of earthquakes, but it didn’t take very long to realize that THIS one was different. It sounded like a train was coming through our living room.
