I travel quite a bit. This ranges from holiday family travel, personal out of state travel and quite a bit of media travels. I always take my iPad with me and when I am on an airplane, it’s kind of hard to get work done and type without the person directly next to me gazing… [Continue Reading]
When it comes to toys for the kids, I like to look for things that are more learning, interactive and things that they can use for longer than just a short time. While I am usually not ‘in’ to larger toys that take up a lot of space in the house and playroom, there is… [Continue Reading]
Does your son like trucks? Mine does! I have to say that not only does my son love trucks, so does my daughter. She may be a girly girl, but she loves to have some 4×4 fun with her brother. We had a chance to check out a playset that has shown to be hours… [Continue Reading]
I travel a lot and one thing that I am always in the need for while on the go is power. With the constant use of Twitter, Facebook, email, texting, phone calls and picture taking, I have a constant need for power. I need power for my Windows Phone, as well as my iPod nano…. [Continue Reading]

We live in a 1900 home and our storage in this house is pretty limited. I have been slowly doing some renovations in the house to make it more our own, as well as to create more usable storage. Parts within my home were transformed in to other rooms. Example – this is the front… [Continue Reading]
I have been without my main camera for a couple of weeks now. While I usually take my Nikon with me everywhere that I go, I have been thinking about looking for something smaller to tote around to prevent that little mishap from happening again, but there just hasn’t been anything that sparked my interest… [Continue Reading]
I may not have a desk within an office building that I am used to for the last 10 years, but I do still have a desk in my home office. No matter where your desk is located, we all have off days where we could sure use a smile (or ten!). When I received… [Continue Reading]
We have two kitties… Milano and Oreo. Both are a spitting image of each other, but Oreo (the youngest of the two) is a spitfire of energy that keeps both on their toes. We have been searching for kitty toys that will keep them entertained, something that are a bit different than your usual feather… [Continue Reading]
My camera is attached me at all times. It’s like it’s an extra limb on my body. I have traveled with my bulky camera backpack, but have always had back pains the next day because everything is jumbled all in the bottom of it and nothing is very organized in it. To be honest… it’s… [Continue Reading]
I have to share this video of Oreo. She was hilarious! Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2011
Technology blows my mind every day. It seems that the tiny pieces of technology are more powerful than any of us realize.

I have found myself looking for shoes for my kids that aren’t your average shoes that you would buy with a cartoon character on them locally. This, personally, annoys me beyond all get out.

Those that have kids know that it takes a lot to keep your floors clean. Not everyone likes to spend a lot of money on cleaners to keep our floors clean. What if I told you that there was a spray mop that you could make and use your own cleaner in it? Talk about… [Continue Reading]
My kids seem to get bored with some toys more quickly than they used to. Maybe it’s because they are getting older so their attention span seems to run around like a roller coaster. We had a chance to check out two play sets from Mattel’s Action Links area of toys and I have to… [Continue Reading]

I grew up in a home where my dad was deeply in to photography. He had an eye that truly made anyone’s heart skip a beat. With that said, I do feel that I caught that photography bug. I think I have always had the same eye as he had. It was in 2005, after… [Continue Reading]
