I’ve all but given up my music photography since moving to Michigan. Luckily, I find shows here and there where I can drag my big camera (Canon Rebel) along. Most often lately, I only use my phone camera (iPhone 4S) because it’s so damn handy. When we were on vacation in November I took my [...]
I was super excited to be given the opportunity to try out this cool gadgety gadget. Our family of four sports 3 smartphones and 2 tablets, and we’re looking at another smartphone in the near future. Since we share a data plan, sometimes The Millionaire has to remind us not to go heavy on [...]
Every year as a family we typically adopt a family. This year’s finances have been pretty tight, so we aren’t sure if we can swing it. Instead of giving up totally on the idea of helping someone in need, we’ve offered some help to a family friend. Still, it didn’t quite feel comparable to what [...]
Whoopie pies for breakfast, that’s why. While I wish the millionaire could go have tourist fun with us, the kids and I are still having a blast. We started our day at the Reading Terminal Market: the Flying Monkey whoopie pies and butter cake, almond croissant and breakfast club on a bagel. The boy wet [...]
ONE WEEK, 7 little tiny days and I can get the heck outta dodge. You know why I love vacation? Because I can pretend I don’t live in a tiny, backwards, claustrophobia inducing little town. My imagination turns me into the cool urban dweller I long to be again. There are awesome cities within a [...]
For the last several years the Millionaire has traveled on company business over the Thanksgiving holiday.

His company has been flexible enough to allow him to drive on the [...]
In an amazing opportunity I had this Spring, I met Ms. Parham (featured the above eBay Thanks You video) as part of the eBay Parent Panel Summit. That short trip changed my entire outlook about eBay. I thought I was already on top of the world after being selected as part of the [...]
I wrote this while still in Memphis at Gonerfest 9. ” I can’t believe we waited so long to come to gonerfest dumb, dumb, dumb. My mopey days are done. The hoard won and I’m ok with that now. All is well when I’m siting in the back room of the HiTone watching gonerfest on [...]
While I was in Memphis I busted ass trying to help my mother get her house in shape. I emptied out cabinet after cabinet of stuff, cleared out the fridge and scrubbed what I could. While I did some of the more down and dirty jobs, my mom diligently got rid of boxes and boxes [...]
I’ve been away from my house and kitties for two weeks. Now my house feels strange and Memphis feels like my home again, despite spending the time at my parents’ house. I fell out of my bed because my body didn’t know where it was. The rooms feel strangely empty after being surrounded by stuff [...]
