We are a community that is constantly connected and on-the-go. I admit – I’ve got my smart phone and iPad with me just about all the time. But that doesn’t mean that connecting with my family is not important to me. In fact, I have been drawn to creating and preserving memories through taking and…
We Are Not Powerless… {In Honor of Susan Niebur}
Susan was a rocket scientist. I loved being able to say that I was friends with a rocket scientist (ok, technically an astrophysicist), as if some of her brilliance might rub off on me. Susan was a mother. A wife. A blogger. A friend. One year ago today, on February 6, 2012, those of us…
New Disney’s Iron Man 3 + Lone Ranger Sneak Peek
I may be the only person in America not tuning in to the Super Bowl this weekend but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited to tune in to the some of the pre-game entertainment (and of course the commercials)! Here’s a preview of two sneak peek videos from Disney for a couple of the movies…
Step-by-Step Guide to Converting Home Movies into DVDs
In the last 17 1/2 years since I got married and had kids, I’ve gathered up quite an extensive collection of home movies. I started out using one of those enormous camcorders recording on VHS, then moved to a smaller camcorder using smaller tapes. Eventually, we bought a video recorder that used mini DVDs, and…
Monster Valentine’s Day Cards Craft Tutorial #Printables
My kids and I are just a little bit excited that Hotel Transylvania is available on DVD and Blu-ray today (shh…don’t tell, but someone who’s having a birthday tomorrow is getting this!). To celebrate the release of the DVD, my kids and I came up with a super-fun and easy craft inspired by the movie….
The One and Only Ivan – Announcing the 2013 Newbery Medal Winner!
My two youngest kids and I have been enjoying reading a book together called The One and Only Ivan, and were thrilled to find out that “Ivan” was crowned with the 2013 Newbery Medal. What is the Newbery Award? The Newbery Medal was named for eighteenth-century British bookseller John Newbery. It is awarded annually by…
Keep Kids Entertained With the #LEGOChannel
Today we woke up to snow on the ground. The last few days have had a single-digit low (when KitKat left for school on Wednesday morning, Weather.com said it was 9° outside). That’s cold. And it means that we’re spending a lot more time indoors. I’m sure you can imagine what 7 people cooped up…
How to Plan a Month’s Worth of Blog Content…and Beyond #ContentBrew
When I started blogging 5 1/2 years ago, there was no prior thought to what I would post each week. If I took the kids berry picking, I posted that. If I had some good news to share, I posted that. Then things changed. My kids got bigger and went off to school all day….
2012 Year in Review #Linkup
One of the greatest things about writing so frequently on my blog is that I can look back on the year and reminisce about all of the best moments. 2012 was full of travel (something I love!), great opportunities, and tremendous growth from my kids. I can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store….
When Is the Right Age to Give Kids a Cell Phone? #digitalwellness
When should kids get their own cell phones? That’s a trick question, right? As a mother of teenagers, I am asked this question quite often because (for some reason) other parents figure that I know the answer. The holidays are a HUGE time for parents to give cell phones as gifts. Will your kids be…
