Blurb Mobile – App for iPhone and iPad | #photography #custom
As much as Halloween is supposed to be about “scary,” in reality, it’s a lot about “cute.” It’s about kids in costume, creative pumpkin art, and way too much sugar for everyone involved. Halloween is a holiday of sights and sounds. You’ll be taking photos and video that you’ll want to share that very night, but also keep forever. And, since you’ll likely be busy greeting trick-or-treaters, putting on costumes, and rationing candy, you need an easy way to capture the night’s events. That’s where Blurb mobile comes in. Blurb mobile is an app for the iPhone and iPad that…
Bloggers make the BEST friends!!
Can I just say that I have the best friends a girl could ever ask for? What's even better is that I've never even met some of these girls in person, and they love me enough to do something totally awesome! Remember my Keurig post? You know, complete and utter jealous that I'm the only blogger left standing without a Keurig? Well, guess what?! You see what's behind me in this pic? I came home from the Pumpkin Festival Saturday, laid down, and five minutes later, the doorbell rang. I hear the boys running through the house "MOM!!!! DAD NEEDS…
Nerf Rebelle – Powerful in Pink and Purple | #Giveaway (11/8)
Now that Kylie is a teen, I am SO out of the loop when it comes to toys for girls. I know that there have been brands who have started to appeal to girls by taking popular toys marketed for boys and making them pink and purple, but until now, I didn't realize that Nerf has their own line of toys for girls called Nerf Rebelle! Honestly, I think Braxton (our 9 year old) would love this line for himself, because his favorite color is pink! These are so cool, and you can find the whole Nerf Rebelle line at…
Teenagers and the Dishwasher – Why is it so hard? | #parenting #teens
Oh the joys of parenting teenagers. Kylie has a lot going for her. She's compassionate, talented, beautiful, stylish, fun-loving, witty, and great at making really dumb faces. Pretty much everything you'd want in a teenage daughter, right? That until it comes time for chores! I know, I know. She's a teen, and they're all a little lacking in that department. She's probably going to read this post and say, "MOM you're ruining my life!!" (Come to think about it, my mom will probably read this post and say, "LISA, I can't believe you posted that!" - Hi mom.) Aside from…

Healthgrades iOS App | Healthcare information at your fingertips!
It's been almost a year and a half since we moved to Mont Belvieu, Texas, which is a bit of a secluded town on the outskirts of Baytown - East of Houston. When we moved this way, I was terrified that I would not find a pediatrician that went a long with our wishes for a more natural approach to medicine. As a doula, I'm always being asked for referrals for obstetricians, midwives, dentists, and pediatricians, and being in a new-to-me area, with the exception of midwives and my pediatrician, I've not been much help. Now, with and their iOS…
Dreaming of a Keurig – I want to #BrewtheLove, too! | #coffee
Confession time. Jealousy has hit the Johnston household pretty hard lately. Well, it's hit me, anyway. I know we're not supposed to be jealous of other people's belongings - but I am! In the past week, I have seen the name Keurig pop up in my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Email, RSS, StumbleUpon, and Pinterest feeds approximately 4,587 times. The good news they're really hot and popular right now and they make a lot of people happy, happy, happy. The bad news I don't have one, and that leaves me envious and Dreaming of a Keurig. I can't function without coffee. …
