My Childhood

-

I finally got about 200 slides converted onto a CD and am in the process of making a Shutterfly book of my childhood. Here's one of my favorite pictures of my brother Barry. Naked on the counter! Bro this is for you, hope you're still enjoying my blog! (ha ha)


I've always been a good kisser. I guess it's because I started out young. ;-}




This is my FAVORITE picture of my childhood. It has all the things I love: my dad, flowers, and a good road trip. My dad looks so young and full of life in this picture.

What fun to get all these pictures on CD--I really need to do this as well, but have to collect them all from my mom's house first--you are inspiring me to do it though! What a great idea to make a book too! :)

what a great idea Lori! My IL's have so many slides when my hubby and his sibs were young, of course we never get to see them because they no longer have a slide projector. You will have to tell me how you converted them. :) Great Job!

My Dad had to steel the slides from my mom's storage shed! (shh don't tell) It made me sick to think of those pictures melting away. I just took the slides to Sams Club and they converted them for me. FYI: It ended up being a little pricy which I didn't expect.

I love it! It is so much work, I have boxes of pictures pre-digital that I look at with dread but I know once they're in I'll be happy. What a great picture of you & your dad!

That is an ambitious project. Are you caught up on your kids scrapbooks too? Amazing. One question- you are so cute in your headbands. Are they your signature?

1. I'm not caught up on all my scrapbooks, yet. I have 2001 & 2002 left to do. And then I need to scan 1999 & 2000 into digital pictures and then do the books. I know a big project. But I'm looking forward to it and will most likely tackle it when the kids get back into school. I've been averaging 8 hours to complete an entire year. So once they're in school - it should go quickly.

2. The flower is my Summer Hair. See this post: http://laurieturk.blogspot.com/2007/06/summer-hair.html

I also wear it because I had Victoria Beckham's hair cut 2 years ago and am STILL growing it out. That was my favorite hair cut and I'm starting to miss it. However, after all my hard work I'm keeping my long locks. For now.

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

1 Year Blogiversary

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
