Christmasy Slippers

For some reason, Jamie (as a kid) had no problem finding a new pair of slippers under the tree and he still doesn’t to this day. Actually, last year one of the last gifts that he opened was his slippers and he was starting to get a bit nervous. I guess now that he has […]

Photography for Little Guys

There was a time when each family owned one camera and kids certainly weren’t allowed to touch it. Well, times certainly have changed. I guess we can thank Disney for that and for these cameras too. They are targeting kids and tweens and I have a feeling they are going to be extremely popular.
