Easy Holiday Entertaining Recipes
When it comes to holiday entertaining, I like to keep things simple. Think The Dude’s vibe from The Big Lebowski when it comes to my cooking and baking. So this holiday season when I was asked to put together a sweet and salty recipe on behalf of Betty Crocker and WinCo supermarkets all I could think was – let’s make this easy on us moms! Don’t get me wrong, I love to scroll through Pinterest and Instagram eyeing the amazing recipes the other (and very talented) moms have put together but I just don’t have that in me. I like easy! But that doesn’t mean with a little creativity you…

It will create a strong focal point, or turn a boring plain wall into a stylish one. Plus, no need to own a collection of one of a kind pieces of art to create a unique and cool gallery wall: your children’s most beautiful drawings, your most cherished family photographs, or even vintage magazines pages will add style and interest to any room.

Crafts :: The Giving Plate
Thanksgiving is a week away and to avoid last minute shopping for gifts I am baking cookies to fill my giving plates. I love this original handmade gift for sharing life’s special moments with those closest to your heart. With the holiday season upon us, the Giving Plate is perfect for creating your own traditions while reflecting on the meaning of the special time you spend with those you love. Take turns with the Giving Plate—give it to Mom or Grandma even a friend—and maybe you will receive it back, a special reminder of one another. You will need: Craftsmart paint pens (ideal for wood, plastic, metal and glass) I found…

PBS Digital Studios Provides Unique Learning Experiences
PBS Digital Studios is the public broadcaster’s digital arm that is successfully bringing the YouTube generation into the PBS world with 20 million views per month. Part of the PBS Digital Studio’s strategy is to create programming that was digital first and not so much about shortening existing broadcasts. Part of the success is by finding creatives who are already successful on YouTube or other online platforms, particularly in science, and exposing them to a wider audience—in some cases turning YouTube hobbyists into full-time PBS hosts.

The PicCollage App and HP Help Create Memories
Last year I heard from a friend who is pretty tech savvy about this really cool app that lets you create fun collages from your photographs. I was looking for an easy way to create cards and quotes from photographs I had taken. The PicCollage app is really easy to use and this is coming from someone not particularly that tech savvy! I made this one from a day at the beach. There are over 100 million people who use PicCollage to combine photos, Youtube videos, funky fonts, sassy stickers and cute cutouts to create the prettiest collages you’ll ever see on a mobile device. They have stickers from Sanrio and LA-based independent designer, Sara…
