A Minted Photo Calendar Makes the Memories Last All Year!
For the past four or five years, I’ve made a photo calendar for ourselves and our relatives. The girls love flipping the page each month and seeing whose picture is featured on the new month. For our relatives, it’s a fun way to give them big photos of the girls to display on their walls. […]
VTech Toys Provide Creative Fun for Kids
Over the years, we’ve had a number of VTech toys in our home. VTech has so many fun things for kids of all ages! So when I was compiling my Christmas Gift Guide for this year, it just made sense to include a couple VTech toys. (Okay, it was hard to narrow the list to […]
Taking Family Photos with Memotime Photography
Getting a family photo done has been on my to-do list since before Pearl’s birth. We haven’t had a nice family picture taken since Lily’s fifth birthday (and that was an informal shot by a friend of mine). My mother-in-law has hinted she’d like photos of our girls, to go with the photos of her […]

Celebrate Milestones with Ookpix Photo Canvases
Today is my eighth wedding anniversary, which means I’m trying to plan a date night with my hubby (yes, it’s a bit last minute). Thanks to Ookpix, though, I’ve got his present covered already. Which is great, because I usually have a hard time figuring out what on earth to get him. Even way back […]
Create a Homeschool Yearbook with Picaboo
For the past several years, I’ve created an annual photobook for our family using Picaboo. It’s fun to browse through our last year in photos and easy to organize the photos using the online software, adding descriptions and dates as I go. When the photobooks arrive, they are slender, beautiful books that take up much […]
