Before having a baby, I had a purse that was just that: a purse. It had grown-up purse things in it, like keys, a wallet, my phone, gum, a brush, makeup, and other random things. After baby, though, I didn’t have a purse, I had a diaper bag and it was filled with much, much different stuff.
The holidays are near – scarily so, as I’ve done some procrastinating this year – and everywhere you go there are reminders that the gift giving season is upon us. If you’re planning large shared purchases or group gift-giving this year then you need to check out Giftfund, a new mobile app that’s specifically designed to make that task easier.
Thanks to Giftfund for partnering with me to share their app with you!
The Giftfund app is available on both Android and iOS devices as a free download. It allows you to select a gift or gifts for a particular recipient, and then invite family and friends to join and contribute to the cost. You can select gifts in a variety of price ranges, and then wait and see which one you are able to collectively afford. Continue reading »

I’ve always taken a lot of pictures. Most of my friends would have months’ worth of photos on a single roll whereas I was developing a roll every week or two. Sometimes I ended up with great photos, and sometimes I ended up with a big blur.
Luckily photos went digital during my lifetime, because after Bubbles was born the amount of photos I took intensified a lot. And as a blogger, that number grew yet again. Now I can capture photos in the moment, then try and perfect them later through editing. Continue reading »
This shop and my home office organization has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions and shouts of joy are mine alone. #BIGDeal #CollectiveBias
I started working from home in 2008, so I’ve had a home office for many years. As a blogger, though, my home office organization needs have changed a great deal between now and then. I have less need for filing cabinets and more need for, say, an area to take pictures and a place to store all my “stuff”.
