When Was the Last Time You Printed Your Favorite Digital Photos?

The four girls have been gathering at your house for the last 16 years. First at play dates where the moms would visit upstairs and the girls would play with their American Girl dolls in the basement and later as overnight sleep overs that typically ended in very little rest, the gatherings have become a tradition. Now that three of the four girls are seniors in college in three different states, the visits are much less frequent. They are not, however, any less fun. After not seeing each other for months at a time, the 21 year olds fall into comfortable conversations not only about what they are doing now, but also the memories they have from their past.
Not surprising, every time that they gather any of the moms that are present take photos. Those photos have been carefully scrapbooked with photo mounting corners and protective sleeves. The photo binders containing those pictures have been part of high school graduation parties and are still brought out when the girls gather, no

Give the Right Gift

For any young woman starting college or a new job, or for new mothers, giving the right gift can really brighten her day, and there’s an endless variety of ideas for gifts to give, whether personal or more practical like baby clothes and baby blankets for new moms, or household items for a young woman who moved into her first apartment. Ideas for little gifts can be sentimental, too, and tailored to the recipient with ease. What’s more, little gifts like mini Uno cards, heart sparklers, and mini soccer balls are not only charmingly petite, but they don’t take up much room, which can be helpful for someone who’s trying to manage all her inventory and space in a new apartment or dorm room. Ideas for little gifts can be just for fun, like miniaturized versions of things like vacuum cleaners or forks and spoons, or just small but practical sizes for things, like a small keychain or a small shelving unit for person

Preparing For Christmas Gift Buying

The holiday season is upon us, meaning that so too is the season of budgeting and buying gifts and trying to make sure that you don’t forget about anybody. And though gift giving can be stressful, it’s also a great way to deepen the meaning of any given close relationship, as more than 58% of people here in the United States agree. Giving a well thought out and meaningful gift is a great way to show someone that you care, be it your mother, your sister, a closer friend, or even a romantic partner.

Shopping for kids, on the other hand, can be a little bit more difficult. This is due to the fact that kids, especially younger ones, are just in the process of learning what the holiday season is really about. At this age, most of them aren’t particularly concerned about the quality of the gifts that they receive and more about the quantity of new things that they have to play with. And while it’s important to teach your kids not to be spoiled and expect a large array of very expensive

Fun on the Farm

Visiting a farm or a fruit orchard can be a great autumn day trip for any family, and for many living in most parts of the United States (perhaps not the Southwest), a family farm may not be far away, and between the apple orchards, pumpkin patches, a hay ride, and other activities set up and public and family farms, there is all kinds of fun to be had, and as a bonus, the apples and pumpkins that guests gather are great ingredients for home cooking, and pumpkins and related vegetables like squash can double as decorations for Thanksgiving or a wedding reception, too, as affordable and classy decor for these events. Farm activities may include other fun such as corn husk dolls, making a quilt, or any other farm activities at a particular locale. For the kids, a farm is a thrilling outdoor adventure, especially for those visiting a farm or orchard for the first time, and for the parents, farm activities are a time to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life and also get some f
