I'm in a video e-course Zero to Video Hero , to get you comfortable being in front of a camera. Many of you probably know I do a lot of videos on youtube. If you have seen them you'd know, I rarely put my face in them. This challenge has been an experience because I've had…
I spent the morning looking for a microphone. Mine is getting old. I found great reviews to Blue Microphone Snowball Mic. I brought it home and alas, it was awful. I found out it was an old verison of the now popular mic. So now I gotta drive back and return it. Sorely disappointed.…
My daughter really enjoys cupcake decorating and I got a calendar with cupcake pictures. Although the pictures have neither instructions nor references, we decided to try to duplicate them using our imagination. Last month was a cupcake with a snowflake. (I called it a star in the…
I've been wanting to write this post for awhile, every time I pay for another test or some "supplies" the kids need that the school expects the families to pay. What if I couldn't pay? In last night speech, Obama recommitted to education in this country. He believes …
My sister made this for me, it makes me smile This week, I met someone who lectured me for a half hour. The topic had nothing to do with me, rather her fears and that I should be fearful too. I don't want to go into details but it left me with a depressed feeling that typically …

Nearing the end of the holiday season usually means last minute shopping, baking, and celebrating. Then, around the corner, is the New Year. In the back of my mind, my new year's resolutions are forming, like a de-cluttered house, a larger inventory and my very own website. Proc…
See the happy no school day kid This is my kids second snow day in a row. I don't know if it is the snow and my animal instinct to wait out the storm or the kids yelling and interrupting but all I want to do is curl up in something warm (like my bed). Alas, when you work from ho…
This is another post from a blog I'm consolidating to one blog stream..... Our house has been doing a cookie exchange long before it was popular. We've done it in huge groups of nearly a hundred and small groups of under 10. I thought I'd share some tips. Check to see if…
I've had cleaning on my mind. I hate it. Cleaning seems simple: put away your stuff and wipe down everything, yet I find my house still fills with clutter and dog hair. I clean it up then start all over again. I'm tired of cleaning and have been spending the last couple of mon…
