Two weekends ago I had the pleasure of speaking at the first ever Gleek Retreat. It was a lovely, small, intimate “conference” set in beautiful West Olive, MI. Unfortunately I missed the second day, but what I did experience on day 1 was awesome! There were around 30 people in attendance including I think 3 [...]
A couple of weeks ago I hung out in downtown Chicago with a bunch of awesome mommy bloggers, the Mominatrix, and Kenmore. I had no idea the the Kenmore Live Studio even existed, but I am so glad that I know now! We had good food, good drinks, and a lot of fun. We had [...]

I LOVED Galena. I’ve been in IL for 36 years today and I had never been to Galena. I had barely even heard of it! But is definitely one of those hidden treasures of Illinois and I LOVED it. It is a really, really, really beautiful place. So beautiful in fact that I took almost 500 pictures! Over 450 [...]
It’s been about a week since I got back from San Jose. Since that time I have been thinking a LOT about how to put my experience into words. But it ain’t easy! As you will see, I started writing most of this post while I was on the plane on the way back. I [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Eye-Fi. All opinions are 100% mine. Yes, this is a sponsored post, but I actually do own an Eye-Fi, so when this opp popped up I jumped at the chance to write about it. Actually, I wrote a post about my Eye-fi a few [...]
On November 15, I attended an HP VIP Blogger Cinema Demo for the HP Photosmart Premium Touchsmart Web Printer. Thanks to my baby girl and first born Alexis who pulled my name out of the box, I won one! I have been using this printer for a little over a month and I must say [...]
Yes, I am over a week late on this so I am catching up. One of my favorite parts of the conference was the photo walk with Mishelle (aka @secreatagentmama). We wandered around downtown Asheville where there was a ton of activity, drummers, guitar playing, singing, protests… all kinds of interesting things going on to take [...]
I went, I saw, I brought it! I’ve been back well over a week now and I think I can finally do a post of some sort. I do not have many words. I thought Kelby did a FABALOUS job of pulling it all together. Astacia was awesome as her right-hand woman and a ton [...]
All of the ladies (and gents) that attended the Type-A Mom Conference last week in Asheville, NC got a free copy of the Creative Memories Storybook Creator software. So far it is awesome. I need to put it through the ringer though, but I have no doubt that it will hold up. I just need [...]

It had been quite a while since I saw a caterpillar. I snapped this little guy with my iPhone as I walked back from lunch at work. He’s almost glowing!
