Eagle Island–Your Own Little Heaven

April 13, 2012

I’m an island girl.  I just love being near the water and swear that it does something for my sanity. But I’ve never had an island all to myself. That might soon change now that I know about Eagle Island. It’s this heavenly little place off the coast of Georgia.  You can only get there by boat. Captain Andy, owner of the lodge and the island, will take you himself. And then, you won’t see any other people your entire visit if that’s the way you want it. The island [...]

Verizon Rhyme–A Camera Posing as a Phone

April 11, 2012

OK, so the Verizon Rhyme isn’t really a camera posing as a phone, but it might as well be.  It’s an awesome camera.  With the panoramic feature, it is superior over most other camera phones I’ve used, and I have to admit I’ve used quite a few.  I loved the images from the other phones and am always surprised at the quality when I have the right factors (good lighting especially).  But the Rhyme doesn’t require a perfect setting. You can play with the settings in the phone and get [...]

From birthday party invitations to graduation announcements to promotions for the baby expo I’m organizing, it seems like I’m always looking for a good printing company, and it appears I’ve finally found one that meets my criteria for quality AND price.

Waterproof Phones? It’s Possible

April 10, 2012

It happened to me when I was running a half marathon a couple years ago.  I’m sure it’s happened to you, too.  It’s honestly happened to everyone I know of who owns a phone. You got it wet.  In my case, it got sweaty.  Then it got drenched when I forgot I had it secured on the strap of my tank top and threw a cup of water on my head to cool down during my mega run.  Yeah.  No more phone for me that day. It’s so common that [...]

Peter Pan at Center for Puppetry Arts

April 9, 2012

If you have never been over to the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, you really should schedule a visit, no matter how old you are.  I already know what you parents of older kids are thinking.  It’s been ages since you’ve played with puppets and you don’t have a toddler to take anymore. Well, I think I enjoyed my recent trip to the Center more than my child.  That’s because I remember Fraggle Rock, Emmett Otter’s Jug Band Christmas, and so many of Jim Henson’s other famous puppets.  They’re [...]

“Changed” is Another Winner for Rascal Flatts

April 5, 2012

Rascal Flatts has a way of capturing critical moments in my life in their lyrics.  I remember playing “I’m Moving On” over and over the entire drive from Knoxville, TN, to Atlanta, GA, when I moved ten years ago, leaving a bad relationship behind. Now, on the new CD “Changed”, I’m loving the song “Let It Hurt”. The lyrics are poignant right now. “You’re just putting off the pain…nothing’s ever really going to change.  So let it hurt, let it bleed, let it take you right down to your knees. [...]

Verizon DROID RAZR Phone is Super Fast. No, Faster Than That.

April 4, 2012

The DROID RAZR (by Motorola for Verizon Wireless) first stood out because of it’s sleek, thin exterior, but the lightning-fast speed of the phone is what keeps impressing me most. I really don’t have time to waste (who does?).  So, when I click a button for a link to get me information, I really like that the RAZR gets it to me right away.  It’s even a little unsettling just how fast it is.  Seriously, who knew technology could be this quick? I consider myself fairly intelligent, but when I [...]

Brother and Sister Bond–#WordlessWednesday

April 4, 2012

My oldest son is not always patient with his youngest sibling.  They’re 11 years apart in age, after all.  But when he’s good to her, it sure does my heart good.  He held her hand all the way down a mountain recently and I had to capture it on camera.  My heart swells just seeing it.  Kind of leaves me speechless on this #WordlessWednesday.
