With the big holiday honoring mom less than a month away now, it’s time to start coming up with some great Mother’s Day gifts! One of the best gifts you can give is something that mom loves but that also gives a little something back to the world. A great...
I love making photo books, especially with Blurb. Their tools make it so easy to put together a stunning book in minutes. The hardest part is coming up with which pictures I want to use! Even more difficult is deciding which photo to use as a cover. Do you go with...
Updated with fresh Easter basket gift ideas for boys in March, 2015. Every year around this time, I start to get a little anxious because Easter is just a few days away and I’m still not done with Jacob’s basket. When it comes to Christmas, I’m done...
