    I am a clutter bug. I’ve got bits of paper everywhere and it drives my uncluttered husband insane. Now that I’m also a business owner, the paper has multiplied. I’ve got press releases, press kits, business cards, and a ton of notes to myself. Plus, I’m a mom, so there are doctor’s reports, report cards,…

    Social media can be difficult for people to understand. It may seem strange to connect with those who live across the country, or across the world. It may be hard to believe that you can build true relationships with people you rarely (or never) see in person. Certainly not every person you meet online will…

    There is no doubt that tablets are hot right now. Unfortunately, they’re also pretty expensive. But if you’re willing to forego a brand name and be flexible about features, you can get a good deal on a tablet that will meet most, if not all of your needs.

    I made a vow to myself on my 40th birthday to make an even stronger effort to focus on a healthier lifestyle. I’m making progress, albeit slow. At least I know that the changes I have made will be with me for life. They aren’t simply a fad I’m going through. The one thing I…

    I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions about losing weight. It’s too easy and too depressing to fall off the wagon and revert to your old habits. I do believe in making small changes every day that have a positive impact on your health and life as a whole. If you can maintain those small…

    It’s a Small World is one of my favorite rides at Walt Disney World. I love how simple it is, while still being magical. And, honestly, sailing through the lands is one of the best place to be on a hot and humid Florida summer day. When I heard that they were coming out with…

    *Please don’t leave nominations on this blog. You can nominate at the ableGiving site. Having worked for some (very) small non-profits, I can attest first-hand to the kind of impact a smaller donation can make on their ability to further their mission. That “every bit helps” mentality is part of the impetus behind an innovative…

    You can’t make it through a day at CES without multiple people asking you about the coolest/most innovative thing you’ve seen. With so many amazing products to choose from, I always find my mind going blank when that question arises. But now that I’ve had time to digest everything, this one takes the title for…

    I’m only part-way through the show floor, but there are some pretty clear trends cropping up: 1. Connected. Everything is connected… share your pictures on your phone with your iPad or TV. Stream video from one device to another. Start a game/movie on one device and pick it up on another. Early efforts at this…

    It’s been pretty quiet around here, but it’s not for a lack of cool family tech. Nope. I’ve been prepping to bring you coverage from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The show is the place to see what’s new and hot in TVs, sound systems, cell phones, tablets, computers, robots, smart appliances, connected…
