Disney Hair, Don’t Care

I’m going to admit something that is rather vain – I do not like getting my hair messed up or wet, so I usually take a visor with me on trips, in case, heaven forbid. it does happen and I’m not at a place that I can fix it quickly.

Thrifty Thursday: Making the Magic Last

As a little girl, I spent many days at my grandmother’s house. Some of my fondest memories are of us, snuggled together on the couch, looking through her old photo albums.  I loved slowly turning the pages as she told me stories about the people in the pictures – all the way from the early 1900s up to when I was just a baby.  I am guilty of failing to print pictures or make photo albums in this digital, fast-paced age.  The ability to savor our family memories is a gift I want to give my children, minus the burden of having to convert data from one format to another or tediously sort through hundreds of thousands of photo files.  Read more
