The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX Tablet Makes a Perfect Gift
Image courtesy of xda developers Amazon recently released the Kindle Fire HDX 7.0 and 8.9 Tablets and we had a chance to review the new 8.9 tablet and I must say it was love at first sight. There are so many new features on their latest device that really makes it one powerhouse tablet! One of my favorite new additions is the front-facing HD camera. Now I can use it at conferences or when I am out-and-about – I can take pictures or videos and use them in posts or share with friends and family. For Mother’s Day, my husband promised a keyboard so that I can use it in place of…

Inspirational Mom :: Linda Sadeghi of The CAMP and The LAB Anti-Mall
If you are local, you have probably visited The CAMP or The Lab Anti-Mall in Costa Mesa. I had heard about The Lab years ago from my friend who is pretty on top of trends and she and I would visit the shops there a couple times a month – pre-kids! But now with our kids in-tow, we have enjoyed lunch over there as well. I really like that both The CAMP and The LAB offer a variety of shops such as Urband Outfitters and some of the best restaurants in town! My favorite breakfast place, The Old Vine, is located at the backend of The CAMP and I…

Hearing Health Foundation On Path to Finding Cure for Hearing Loss
As a mom, you want what’s best for your child. But imagine seeing your child suffer from hearing loss, with no cure in sight and unable to comfort them. For many moms this is a real life struggle. In fact, in the US, three out of every 1,000 children are born deaf or hard-of-hearing. My own father battled with hearing loss most of his adult life. He started going deaf in his early twenties until it progressed to almost 90% hearing loss in one ear and 95% in the other ear. He was fortunate to be able to get the cochulear earplant surgery but he was still not able to…

Reflections :: Vulnerability
Image courtesy of Flickr A favorite part of returning to school again, for me, has been the deep and connected conversations with fellow students. They are significant of the bonds we are growing, of our commitment to being seen and seeing one another as the individuals we are. It’s as educational an experience as the classes themselves. There is something about being surrounded by groups of people, whatever the size, that hold and reflect the value and meaning of what is important to you, as well as challenge you to consider just what that means. Particularly in that I am in the situation of pursuing a second career,…

Tax Tips for Working At Home
Image Courtesy of Flickr When you work from home, tax time can be a little more complex than just filling out the information from your W-2, especially if you own your own business. There is a lot more to be considered but with a little organization and attention to detail, tax time can be significantly less stressful. Here are a few tips to help you breeze through tax season. Put together a business log. Use a three ring binder, a few clear pocket inserts, and a notebook.
