Funnily enough as large companies continue to close and institute lay offs it brings something out in people. That something is called “entrepreneurial spirit”. I have met so many people in the past year who have begun small businesses and who are really making them work.The SmallBiz Social Media Summit in Hutchinson, Kansas wants to [...]
Though I like to think I know what I’m doing with SEO (search engine optimization) I am always looking to learn more. SEO goddess Kelby Carr (Type A Mom) recently released her ebook: Mom Blog SEO. Don’t let the name fool you: this is an SEO book for anyone.
The book is set up as a [...]
I’ve been a big fan of HP printers since their first All-in-One PSC (printer/scanner/copier) came out about 6 years ago. When I was at Type A Mom Conference in September HP had a room set up with all their new gadgets- including their newest “all in one”- it prints, scans, copies, faxes… Oh, and it’s [...]
It wasn’t that long ago that I told you about Muvee Reveal. If you don’t want to go back and read my review I’ll summarize by saying it’s an intelligent software that allows you to share pictures and video in a movie – or muvee – format. I really enjoyed using it, so when the [...]
Are you getting a new computer for Christmas? What will you do with the old one? If you’re like us you use a computer until it dies; then you patch it together and hand it down to the kids. But what do you do with them after they die?
My town had an e-waste recycling day [...]
I am preparing for the I_Blog Conference so I asked my friend Paula from Boogers and Burps to guest post about a tool she told me about earlier this year- Simply Box. Which I now use all the time! It has replaced my bookmarks and is an invaluable tool when I am planning our travel. [...]
Brenna will be 5 in a few days. I know! I, too, am a bit bewildered by the fact that I have a child, let alone a child who is 5.
Because 5 is a rather big milestone – yes, it is – and because I hear two little girls say “can I play a game [...]
Yep, I’m speaking at my own conference. My topic? “Doing It All”. Do I have all the answers? Nope. But I think I am finding my way. I will speak for a short time then willopen the floor to questions and discussion. I look forward to everyone sharing their ideas!
I hope you’ll consider coming to [...]
Dear Jody:
I think we need to have a talk. I thought you bought that little pink thing so I wouldn’t have to leave the house anymore. I thought my days of traveling were over. But nooo… Today you dragged me to Panera where you ignored me for over an hour to [...]
Brenna is pretty computer savvy. It’s actually kind of scary. She is really good at figuring out what needs to be done even though she’s not reading a lot yet.
The newest game we’ve played online is Pocketville. She loved creating her avatar, picking out her pet, playing the games and exploring the “world”.
Pocketville is a [...]
I love blogging conferences. Love them. But, with the exception of Chicago, there don’t seem to be any in the central plains – or more specifically, Iowa. Apparently we have no “draw”. Pfft… Whatever. So I’ve been working with the Hotel Pattee and have begun the set up of a yet unnamed gathering of bloggers [...]
I’ve been playing with this software for a few weeks now. It does so much…
I’ve taken the multitude of pictures I took at Summerfest , added the free Independence Day style download, added some descriptive text, and even did some editing to the pictures. Then I added music and let the software do the rest.
Luckily [...]
FYI: Teacher appreciation at Office Max Sunday, August 9. Teachers save 15%!
Yesterday I got to join in on a live broadcast with Peter Walsh- you know, that organizing guy from TLC. It was sponsored by Office Max and featured 3 specific areas of back to school organization:
Organizing your home
Organizing your kids
Transitioning to school
It was full [...]
This past weekend was my town’s annual community celebration. And I took, literally, hundreds of photos. And I have about 50 I would like to share. However I don’t have the time to edit and tag all of them before I add them here. But I do have a couple that I must share.
First, this [...]
