When we graduated from college and made the trek across the country to settle on the East Coast, we left all of my extended family back in the West. I loved growing up with my grandparents and aunts and uncles and dozens and dozens of cousins. Holiday meals together, vacations in Tahoe together, and plenty…
The Importance of Pictures in Preserving Memory
After my sophomore year of college, my roommate Susan and I planned a trip to Mexico, just the two of us. I had spent the previous summer on a study abroad in Mexico and I couldn’t wait to return. The summer of 1993 had been full of incredible memories – camping in the jungle, climbing…
I’m a YesVideo Ambassador! #YesMemory
I have a little tradition on Sunday afternoons. Other than taking a nap, of course. I listen to my toddlers talk in their silly, slurry accents. I watch my older kids bottle feed their little siblings for the first time. I listen to my Grandma tell stories and play songs on the piano with my…
How to Increase Family Bonding With Technology
Some people would cringe after hearing what I’m about to say, but I’m going to stick with my opinion here: A good deal of my family’s best bonding time is spent on electronics. I used to think of technology – television, computers, mobile phones, iPads, iTouches, etc – as isolating devices. Often they are. But…
Fish Eyes – Photostory Friday/Give Me Your Best Shot
Believe it or not, I really did take pictures with my real camera this week (quite a few of them, in fact). I believe that most of those pictures were of food, because suddenly my oldest daughter and I have become Pinterest fanatics and can’t wait to recreate some new Pinterest recipe or creation each…
Pride…Before the Fall – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
KitKat dove in her first meet this weekend, and amazingly, I caught this photo of one of her practice dives. I was so incredibly proud. Even more amazing is the fact that a few seconds before KitKat was ready to dive in the meet, my phone fell from my lap and took a 10 foot…
iPad Versus Android Tablet – A Side-by-Side Comparison
I love technology…my house is filled with gadgets, though I admit that I am usually a little behind the times when it comes to the latest tech gear. I was slow to get my first iPod, but fell in love with it quickly and continued adding to my iPod collection. Because I have been low…
Project 365 +1 {Week 2}
So far, so good. I am loving capturing a snapshot of each day with my phone, and I’m still totally excited about making it through the whole year without missing a day. Think I’ll make it? This week was not overly exciting, but this is what life is really like in my house: Saturday –…
Twitter vs Facebook – Which Rules Social Media?
I read a compelling article this past week about the drastic changes that social media has seen in the past 10 years. I was shocked to realize that there was no Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube on September 11, 2001. How different would the experience of 9/11 have been had the people in the middle of…
Calling in Some Backup!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carbonite for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My husband is downstairs in his basement office taking apart his laptop. There are a few dozen screws scattered around the desk and the shell of his beloved computer without it’s hard drive. His laptop has…
