Everyone knows how much I LOVE taking pictures of my little sweeties :) It's so important to me to document not only the "big" days, such as birthdays, holidays, and vacations...but also the sweet moments, playing together, cooking together, just being silly. I quickly grew tired of standing in line at the store, editing and printing photos every week (or sometimes several times a week!). I now turn to online resources such as Shutterfly, and I am so pleased with the quality and convenience! And I love the fact that they offer free online photo storing, so I rest easy, knowing that my memories are safe.
I've created several photo gifts, such as magnets, coffee mugs, photobooks, ornaments...etc. I've never created Christmas cards through Shutterfly, but I tried some out a few weeks ago when they were running a special, and they are gorgeous! I used my Groupon to get some great pictures of the kids in September, and I planned ahead and dressed the kids in reds and greens :)
Check out their site, and have fun!

I admit, I am now a "blog junkie". There are several blogs I read, for the great photos, recipes, decorating tips, and parenting advice. I plan to document more often on the blog I created years ago, and this will become our family scrapbook :)
