How many times have you tried to grab your baby’s attention by desperately waving your hands in the air while making kooky sounds? I know I’ve had plenty of those moments. I even had Greg stand behind me making funny faces to get Boogie to look at the camera. The ShutterBuddy is an innovative products used to grab an infant’s attention during a photoshoot. It’s checkboard pattern grabs and holds an infant’s attention long enough to capture the perfect shot.

I’ve always avoided taking pictures in low light situations because they’d always turn out disastrous. I try my hardest to not use the built in flash because I get hot spots, shadows, and hideous glares. When I don’t use my flash, I hike up my ISO to the highest setting which results in lots of noise, blur, and not so sharp subjects. Because of this, I added a $300 external flash to my wishlist hoping it wold solve my problem. For a year I’ve been trying to work up the courage to make the purchase. Needless to say, that external Continue Reading →
Labelers have surely come a long way. The last labeler that I used was a manual Dymo labeler. With that, I had to crank a wheel to each letter and then I had to squeeze a handle to imprint each letter on to the label tape. I’m feeling a little old here. Had Brother not nudged me to review their new P-touch Labeling System, I would still probably be oblivious to electronic labelers. I’m not a hardcore labeler, so I don’t keep up with the latest labeling systems. There’s one thing that I have trouble doing, and that’s staying organized. Continue Reading →
This is a review written by my dear friend 1stopmom. When I look at gadgets my eyes tend to gloss over. I love anything that can make my life easier. The idea of trying an email only device really appeals to me. I can easily get distracted with other things on the internet, which makes going through my email such a long task. Through Sheena of Mommy Daddy Blog and Peek, I was able to give the black Peek a test run. It turned out to be much smaller and more lightweight than I thought, in fact. It fit very Continue Reading →
Earlier this week, we had a really bad thunderstorm that knocked out power all across the neighborhood. Jayden had just woken up from a nap and went hysterical when he couldn’t see anything. So while holding him in my arms as he clutched on for dear life, and using my cell phone (which has a reeeeally dim backlight even at the highest setting by the way) as a guide, I searched the house up and down for a lighter to light up some candles. After 20 frustrating minutes, I finally found one buried at the bottom of a drawer. After Continue Reading →

The Epson Artisan 800 All-in-One Printer does it all. It does so much that I haven’t even gotten through half of the features yet. I do however, want to touch on some features that I have been enjoying thus far. Touch Screen – The large 3.5” LCD screen lights up to display buttons for easy navigation and previewing photos. I am fascinated with all things touchscreen. I often catch myself touching and tapping at gadgets that don’t have this capability, simply because I’ve grown so accustomed to the feature. Copying & Printing Original Photos – It is so convenient being Continue Reading →
