If you have young children, I don’t have to tell you how packing for trip and taking the little ones, feels like you’re lugging the entire nursery. And don’t even get me started on all the “things” you have to pack to keep the kids happy and clean, such as something as simple as quality face cloths and bibs. That’s why we said yes to the opportunity to review travel-worthy washcloths and bibs by Silly Billyz.
I’m not going to lie – I cried when opening the FedEX package containing a new camera for a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60. In a world where the smartphone is your go-to camera primarily due to convenience, I’m perhaps one of the few who prefer a point and shoot camera. Say hello to your new best friend, the ZS60 model.User Friendly Point and Shoot: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60
When given the opportunity to test drive the 2015 Ford Edge, they had me at Ford. As a long time Ford owner, I’d heard all the hype about this second generation midsize SUV. I was all about checking it out, enticing my BFF Vicki to join me with an invitation to dinner and a test drive for an #EdgeNightOut.Test Driving the 2015 Ford Edge
When I received the Panasonic Home Monitoring System, hubby and I were pretty excited. Sure it’s great to get a visual of your house when you’re traveling. But we’re lucky. We’ve lived in our neighborhood almost 18 years, and our neighbors are vigilant about watching out for each other. But having that extra visual security with a click of the smart phone is priceless.Review Panasonic Home Monitoring System
Oh the endless search for the perfect carry-on bag. I’ve been mostly content with my spinner Samsonite luggage set, a Christmas present from my daughter a couple of years ago. However, I’m always searching for the really perfect suitcase. The carry-on luggage that rolls away from the competition. The one that perfectly fits everything you need for a long weekend getaway without getting the evil eye from the airline stewards. Then ta-dah, just like that, I was given the opportunity to review the Ricardo Beverly Hills Elite Roxbury 2.0 Spinner. And you know they had me at spinner.Luggage Review: Ricardo Elite Roxbury 2.0 Spinner
Bring the grandkids to Walt Disney World — for the first time. Give them a quick lesson on how to use the Panasonic HX-A500 wearable video camera. Push the little grand “birdies” out of the nest and let them capture video. Yes, I’m tagging along with them, because I too love Disney theme parks and rides. Now all you have to do is watch the YouTube video. Now go.Grandkids, Walt Disney World & Panasonic HX-A100 Wearable Camera
I love taking photos on the go, and from my Facebook feed, I can say most everyone enjoys sharing their photos. From capturing that magic moment when traveling with the grandkids to our recent “adult” kids’ travels celebrating one of our daughter’s 30th birthday in Portland, magic moments happen everywhere. We’re snapping pictures and sharing via social media, from Instagram to Facebook, and sharing digitally. More often than not, we capture an amazing photo – but it simply fades away, stored into the backdrop of social media. Enter a whole new way to get social: Photos on the Go Instantly Framed.
Say hello to InstantlyFramed, a new app that takes your Instagram photos, and creates lasting memories to in a framed print mailed to your home. InstantlyFramed is a really easy app to use to convert your digital photos from Instagram, Facebook and/or your iPhone/iPad camera roll.
Currently, InstantlyFramed is only available in the Apple store, so I wasn’t able to use it on my Samsung 5 phone. Therefore, I downloaded the Free App onto my iPad. Then started surfing my Instagram and Facebook photos. Remember that amazing Portland trip with my adult kids? In the midst of my social sharing was a great photo of me and m two oldest daughters. This is just the sort of photo that gets lost in the timeline of social media.
I clicked on the app, selected the photo below (From Instagram) – and believe me, the hardest part was deciding WHICH photo.
