Trying to keep a home afloat is a task in and of itself. Often times we get distracted with kids (if you have any) and other day to day life (like Netflix binge watching or pub crawling). But one things that we should worry more about, or at least set reminders to take care of,…

Money Sense for Kids
Starting kids early with anything is a great approach, even if it means exposing them to ideas that they won’t have to stress about until they are adults. Talking about death, politics and how it facts everyday life, and even the environment are a definite yes. Money is no exception, and dealing with money, appreciating…

Showcasing Your Talents on Instagram
For many, Instagram is a great, direct and to the point social media app. It gets you inspirational photos and videos with the odd comment.

The Importance of Humidifiers

Are Studio/Professional Photos Necessary?
OK, so I’ve written my fair share of blogs advocating for the casual and less rigid photography format. I believe in one case I actually wrote we are more than “shiny happy people holding hands” to quote a great R.E.M. song. However in recent times and as life milestones begin to pile up – the…
