Now, I know we are the NON-Apple house, but I’ve said it before…. we do have an iPod Touch that my kids use. I got the device for free via a sweepstakes I entered, so it’s not like I purchased something with that ugly little rotten apple on it. My children LOVE to play the “talking games” There is Talking Tom, Talking Perry, Talking Roby…. the list goes on and on and on. Since our iPod Touch doesn’t have an [...]
Tired of being the one always taking the pictures? When I compiled our family digital scrapbook last year, I seriously began to think it looked like I was creating a photo album for a single handsome man and his four adorable children. Where the heck is mom in all these pictures? Oh… that’s right. I was taking them all! Ahhh! Well friends, worry no more. Now all your iPhone 4/4S and iPod photos can include the most important subject….you! This [...]
Formerly called Adobe Carousel, Revel is the new cloud-based application produced by Adobe. Revel is a really cool application that allows you to upload your photos from different devices, and then sync all your images to one connected library. Revel comes complete with editing features worthy of the Adobe brand, with pre-set filters to create film effects, as well as some of the more powerful editing tools you’d find in full-fledged photo editing software. The brilliance behind Revel, and what [...]
I am always looking for quality printing, and was thrilled when MyPix2Canvas asked if I would be willing to review one of their fine-art giclee prints. MyPix2Canvas knows that I am passionate about photography, but what they don’t know is that I am kinda a wrapped canvas expert. Well, I pretend to be. But my husband really is. My husband has worked in the fine-art printing business for over fifteen years. He knows everything there is to know about quality printing, giclee printing, [...]
I shared a few weeks ago on our Facebook page that I was thrilled to try out a brand new app by Happi Papi called Happi 123. Our six year old daughter has been struggling with math, and I was desperate to try anything to peak her interest. Happi 123 is an iPad app that sells for $1.99 and is catered to kids ages 4-7 (Although my three year old was easily able to play as well with my assistance.) This app is [...]
My kids are amazing iPad navigators. It’s no surprise though, as Apple’s devices are very user friendly for families. As my kids use our iPad more and more, I am realizing it can be utilized for continually educating them. Sure we watch videos and play popular games, but working on things like music, reading, and math skills can be just as fun with the right application and iPad accessory. These are iPad tools made by The Joy Factory. They are by far the most superb [...]

I was browsing through “Google Play” (formerly known as the Android Marketplace) on my tablet yesterday and imagine my surprise to see a familiar little icon called instagram! I was only slightly disappointed, because I had signed up to be notified when it was going to hit Android, and it appears that it came out on the 3rd of April. I’m late to the game. Since April 20th it has already amassed over 5 MILLION downloads! I immediately downloaded it, excited [...]
I have said it before, and I will say it again: Sony hands down has the best white balance of any compact camera out there. Which is why it was a pleasure to try out the new camera in the Bloggie family: the Bloggie Sport HD. The Bloggie Sport is similar the Bloggie Live, but this baby comes with an extra punch. It’s shock proof, dirt resistant, and waterproof up to sixteen feet underwater. The Bloggie Live can also capture [...]

Since I re-entered the “full time work out side of the home” life again a couple of months ago, I have decided that I need to do some more working mom posts! Moms everywhere have extremely tight schedules, that typically don’t allow for full workouts. I’m fortunate enough that there is a gym with 6:30 AM classes right up the street from my office. During the day, however I get feeling a little restless. I’m so used to chasing kids [...]
Composition is not just cheap notebooks you cover in scrapbook paper at girls camp. Speaking of, if anyone knows where I can find cheap composition notebooks, I actually need some for girls camp this summer. Seriously, you guys are the best. Anywho, we are talking today about good composition with photography. Now, good composition may not stop grandma from framing up bad pictures the grandkids, but it will certainly help you become a better and more creative photographer. Let’s start [...]
As is usually the case, I received a question from a reader, and was intrigued! The question was… “so, wha’ts up with all the new “non facebook ads” on facebook. Is it just a setting I have or what?” I responded with “I’m so confused as to what you are asking”. I had never heard of this before, and was therefore very interested in getting to the bottom of what exactly it was. She kindly sent me a screen shot of [...]
