Photography

I love taking pictures; especially of my kids.  I’ve taken over 100,000 photos, and learned a few things in the process (mostly through trial and error).  I share some pictures and some tips here.

Books

I love to read (when I can find the time).  I always have one on my Kindle and a real book on my bedside table.  When I find a good book, I love to share it.  So many books, so little time to read them.

My VTech Sit-to-Stand Alphabet Train is Still Chugging…

Way back when my kids were tiny tots, I used to try very hard to get them toys that were educational. One of the brands we grew to love around our house was VTech toys. Since my husband and I were both computer nerds, we loved the technology aspect of these toys. Not...
