Staying in Shape with Style: Fitbit Blaze Fitness Watch
I’ve been using a Fitbit off and on for the past year or so as a means of motivating myself to move more. On the days that I don’t run or work out, I’m lucky if I get 3,000 steps in (the recommended goal is 10,000!!!) Those of you who have desk jobs can relate, I’m...

What I Use: February 2015
I often get asked about the camera equipment we use, and I decided it was good fodder for a blog post. I have purchased most of these products myself, or I will tell you otherwise. Either way, it is equipment that I truly use and recommend. Photography Cameras: In addition to his full-time job as an I.T. Director, my husband has...

What if a smartphone battery could last all weekend?
I love my smartphone. We are joined at the hip. I’m lucky if I get through a day without charging her up. When I’m traveling or away from home all day, she doesn’t get through the day. On a normal day, she just barely makes it till bedtime. There is nothing worse than waking up...

A few years back I made the switch from Android to iPhone, and while it took a bit of adjusting, I’ve been fairly happy with the switch — so much so that I traded in my 4S for a 5S last summer and committed to another 2-year contract. I also have an iPad Mini that...

Trade In (or SELL) Your iPhone on Amazon.com
Are you jonesing for the new iPhone 5S? I know I am! I’ve been waiting anxiously for Apple to announce the official release date so I can upgrade from my 4S. I like the 4S just fine, but I’m on Verizon which means I’m still operating with a 3G network, and I’m more than ready...

Canon Rebel EOX Rebel SL1 Review
We’ve spent the past few weeks getting familiar with the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 — the world’s smallest and lightest DSLR. When the box arrived on my doorstep, I dove right in and started using it. As a mom of three lively kids, I’m always trying to capture those special moments before they disappear, so I’m...

Can the Palm Pre Plus REALLY Make Life Simpler?
I’ve had my Palm Pre Plus for two full weeks now, and I am getting comfortable with it. In fact, it has pretty much replaced my old phone. Unfortunately I haven’t figured out how to forward my old phone number to the Palm, but once I do, I’m ready to make the switch for good....
