As the person who used to sit on the other end of tech support calls, I can see this question popping up quite often tomorrow. I just feel sorry for all the techs who are going to have to field the influx of support calls tomorrow. Often when one website goes down, some people think the entire internet is down. Often it’s not the case. Tomorrow it will be. Websites such as Wikipedia and Reddit are going to completely take [...]
I have a confession to make. I’m super obsessed with cheesy ABC Family Original Christmas movies. I mean OBSESSED. Since my wonderful scrooge of a husband is NOT so obsessed, it’s a good thing he works long hours this time of year (he has every right to be a scrooge after working retail for the last 8 years). I just can’t get enough of them. I record them all on my DVR and watch them every year. My favorite is [...]
So, if you haven’t noticed by now, my website has undergone a drastic change in appearance. Trust me, it’s for the better. Natalie (our fabulous new contributor), took some incredible pictures for my header (mainly because she couldn’t stand looking at my old header any longer due to the bad lighting in the pictures I had! HA!) Since the header changed, all of the colors in the site needed to follow suit. So now I have this fabulous new look, [...]
It’s that time of year again. I KNOW! Already? Crazy how it sneaks up on you! Now if only Target would get those white chocolate covered Oreos out, my holidays could REALLY start! I wanted to get my gift guide out before Black Friday though, so you can get your shopping list all ready to snag some great deals! There is an added bonus with my gift guide this year (which I plan on continuing EVERY year). I’m GIVING AWAY [...]
I have been either studying or working as a photographer for over 17 years. And over those seventeen years I have purchased more camera bags and accessorizes than the times I have had the oil changed in my car. Maybe that’s not the best example since I always forget to change the oil in my car. Sunglasses! I buy more camera crap than I do summer shades. Trust me, with four kids I have bought a lot of cheap sunglasses. [...]
I typically don’t wear my religion on my sleeve. I am a Mormon, or better yet, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Although, you may have suspected as much from my recent post. The cause I’m about to talk about though spans religions, and really focuses on families in need. Particularly families where there is only one parent in the home. I’m not sure if this is a song that little children sing everywhere, but [...]
Remember when I described my “house of the future“? Well, either someone at Microsoft reads my blog, or they have the same ideas! Microsoft just released this video about the productivity of the future. Can I just say the video is AWESOME!!! So awesome in fact that I NEED it NOW!!! My husband and I are always talking about how amazing video game quality is. Where 20 years ago I was at my boyfriends house watching his family play golf [...]
Big things are happening on all of my blogs over the next few months. It all started out with my site redesigns! I re-did the design for Tech4Mommies, Organized Mom, and my sister’s site Super Healthy Kids. Plus we launched a new product at my company that I’m super excited about called Chica Password Manager. Definitely go check it out! Anyway, I saw this in a tweet, and thought it would make a super funny image. Thanks to GeekBabe and [...]
If you haven’t heard by now the Facebook page for “the Crock Pot Girls” has grown enormously over the last couple weeks. I mean CRAZY growth, unheard of growth…. spammy growth. I first heard of the site when I noticed several of my friends had “liked” the page in my Facebook stream. One of my friends that I noticed liked it I happened to be chatting with on Skype at the very moment. When I clicked over to the page [...]
The social media world I live/work/breathe in was all a buzz this morning because of a T-Shirt. The shirt (pictured here), which says “I’m too pretty to do homework, so my brother has to do it” made a whole lot of people mad, including myself. Some people were upset, like me, some people were indifferent, and some people defended JCPenney’s right to sell whatever they want. First, I was mad. I don’t get too upset about companies in general. Like [...]
Yesterday I talked about the big guns in the social media world. Today we are going to take a look at some of the lesser known ones. Again, social media is about what you want to get out of it, and luckily there’s a social media platform for just about everything you are interested in! Foursquare – Like competitions, coupons, and going places? Check out Foursquare. Many stores and restaurants offer coupons for a certain number of check-ins at a [...]
Today we’re going to dig into some of the other great features of Google+. Specifically Huddles and Hangouts. Hangouts – First up is the group video chat feature of Google+ called a Hangout. Essentially, I can click “Start Hangout” and if you are following me, a notification will come into your stream that I am “hanging out”. Up to 9 more people can come join me in my hangout and talk. One thing that is great about this is that [...]
