A Kindle Fire Giveaway!
One of my favorite pastimes is to cuddle up on the sofa and read a good book. I have to be honest that for some time I was opposed to reading anything but a book book. But after I received a Kindle Fire last year I was sold – for many reasons. It is really nice that I don’t need to get up to turn the lights on or off at night because the tablet has a couple reading options that don’t require lights. And depending on your preference, you can opt for a low or brighter light. You don’t need reading glasses as you can change the size of the…

Inspiring New Family Holiday Traditions
This quote by the ever so wise Dr. Seuss is one of my favorites! For me, the holidays represents a time to show those we care about that we are thinking of them. And this can be done with a handwritten holiday card, a present that you thought would be just right for them or spending time together. It really isn’t about how much money you spend but more the thought that goes into letting them know you are thinking of them! Spending quality time together really is what it is all about don’t you think?! What are some family traditions in your home? We really love family movie night,…

The Perfect Playdate For Your Kids
This week we invited a couple friends from school and hosted a dance party at our house. I figured the kids always need to let off some steam after school and what better way to do that than a dance party in our living room?! Just Dance: Disney Party 2 was released this fall and provides a great way to entertain the kids this holiday season. Or if you need a little break, have your kids host a little party themselves. I promise this fun video will keep them entertained for quite some time. Plus they are getting some great exercise dancing around the living room! Just Dance Disney Party 2 features…

Tips for Raising a Reader
Next week I will be speaking to parents at a preschool about the benefits of reading aloud to your children, so I thought this would be a good time to write about raising readers. I think back to when my son was about 6 months old. How I would hold him and read board books in the rocking chair. He would have let me read to him all day. Today, he is a 7-year old book-aholic who reads everything he can get his hands on. I like to think that reading consistently to him beginning at an early age helped guide him to that path. Reading to young children, including…

Adobe PhotoShop Elements Bring Your Photographs to Life
Taking Photography to the next level with Elements Photoshop One of my goals this year is to learn more about photography. Last year my husband gave me a nice Nikon camera to get started and I have to admit I have taken my time learning how to use it properly. But I am determined to take some classes and watch the tutorial DVD they provided with the camera. I mean, really, I am in the world of blogging I need to take the best pictures possible. When I see pretty pictures they just make me happy. I think that is why I am a bit obsessed with Pinterest and Instagram. What about…
