We all like giving good gifts, ones that are used and appreciated for years to come. Personal, creative gifts that mean something to those giving and receiving them. However, as much as I would like to be, I am not the crafty, creative type. And trust me, a hot glue gun or crochet hook in the wrong hands does not a meaningful gift make. My blood pressure goes up just thinking about it. But I have always loved the idea of creating personal, meaningful gifts. Enter Shutterfly photo books and calendars. No scissors, no glue, no mess. Once finished, you just click order and wait for the shiny orange and white package to arrive on your (or your loved Keep Reading

Why you need to read Happy Campers (and how to bring summer camp HOME to your kids!)
Written by Melody, Angela's online manager and mom of 2 wild and crazy boys As a parent of a 9 and 10 year old, I often feel like I'm in the Wild Wild West of raising kids. Screen time and technology and constant updates and constant changes to what's available and don't over-schedule but don't let your kids out of your sight and sign them up for camps but not too many camps and limit screen time but screens aren't the problem, not parenting the right way is the problem. How is a Momma to navigate all this? And even if I thought I knew the answers, who even knows if they are the right answers because technology changes so quickly that nobody Keep Reading
Best gifts for graduates (or college student care package ideas)
I know this is such a super weird time, with schools around the nation being canceled for some, graduations looking completely different. But I also know many of you have kids (or grandkids, nieces, nephews) heading off to college in the fall. Leaving home for the first time can be such a strange mixture of excitement, independence, anxiety and a little bit of fear for the unknown. Being away from home for the first time, meeting new people, being fully responsible for your studies and being "in charge" of your own place is a lot to take on for a young adult. As parents back here at home, we worry about that anxiety and fear. Are they making new Keep Reading

This is the story of how one Mom and Dad packed and moved with toddlers underfoot.

I had never allowed myself to think about what it would be like if we actually sold the house, not even once. I didn't want to get my hopes up, only to have something fall through. But this was solid and concrete. We sold our house. After one full week of planning and packing, I decided I can write the official manual on "How to Pack Efficiently with Toddlers". Follow these steps exactly. Walk around the house Keep Reading

Maybe your sister has just had a baby, your best friend is moving into her dream home, or an elderly aunt or uncle is ill or just had surgery.
