Make Moments Last Forever with FUJIFILM Printlife
FUJIFILM Printlife sponsored this post, which means I received product or compensation. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could bottle time? All parents know that time slips by far too fast. You can’t stop time, so how do you slow it or capture it? The obvious answer is photos of course. But, for the most part our photos live on our phones. Sometimes, lately, I have a near panic thinking what if everything crashed and all my digital photos vanished. FUJIFILM Printlife created by FUJIFILM focuses squarely on inspiration, education, and awareness of the importance of printing digital photos. I’m a fan of FUJIFILM Printlife because I think printing photos…

Capture Time Now – Easy to Use Nixplay Smart Photo Frame
This post was sponsored by Nixplay. I received product for consideration here. My opinion is my own. Years ago I bought my Mom a digital photo frame. I still remember the novelty of the product and how fun it was having our family photos on display digitally in her condominium. That was at least a decade ago now when digital photo frames were really not what I’d call smart photo frames. Smart Photo Frames are the Smart Way to Display Your Photos But times change and electronics are getting smarter every day. When I had the chance to check out the new Nixplay Seed smart photo frame this week I…

Capture Special Moments with Posterjack #Giveaways
I have always been a gigantic fan of photos. Maybe most Moms are, but I recall the first year I received a Kodak camera as a gift for Christmas. I think I was actually still a tween at that stage and cameras still used those disposable flash bulbs. I tried to explain this process to one of my daughters the other day. Back in my teens, I remember having to take the actual film cartridge out of the film and drop it at Blacks, or Shoppers Drug Mart. Then you’d wait a week or longer sometimes for your memories to solidify on paper. It was not a cheap process, but…

Celebrate Spring Memories With PosterJack #Giveaway
I have a spring baby. She celebrates her birthday every year right about the time we have our March break. The timing means her birthday celebration is sometimes challenging. People are often away, and if you don’t time it just right we can miss the window to deliver invitations to them, and then miss out on inviting someone special. That’s one reason why this Posterjack spring memories gallery box picture is so meaningful to us as a family. Spring Memories This is the other reason this piece is so meaningful to us. My youngest has special needs. She has some communications challenges when dealing with social cues, so birthdays can be a minefield.…

My Explorer – Kennedy Space Center #Travel #WordlessWednesday
It was almost four years ago now when we travelled to Florida for my oldest daughter’s tenth birthday. We wanted, or needed, a vacation at end of the school year, which is always challenging when you have children with special needs. But this time we planned something different. Ten felt like a huge occasion and we wanted to celebrate it while inspiring our daughters to learn. So we took a full day and spent it exploring Kennedy Space Center. We dined with an astronaut and both of my kids were curious and peppered him with questions. It was one of the coolest things we have ever done as a family…

A Doorway in Yelapa #TravelTuesday #Linky
Travel is a doorway in Yelapa. What do I mean by that exactly? Well, travel itself is a doorway to another world, another culture, a geography, a lifestyle. It is bright. It is full of potential. It is a bit surprising. It can be confining, liberating, original, scary or safe. Like a doorway in Yelapa. Travel is my favourite pastime out of all the possible diversions in life. Travel plus writing, well it doesn’t get better than that. I am a strong believer in family travel and my kids travel with me as often as we are able. We are a team. They are great little travellers and of course…
