Eye-Fi Mobi Wireless Memory Card (Review)

by 4 Comments

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love taking photographs. I always have. I was that friend down the pub with the camera, I am that mum at children's parties who captures the candle-blowing moment allowing parents to concentrate and enjoy the look on their child's face. I truly believe in capturing a moment to help people remember. Over the past three and a half years I have taken at least one photograph every day as a part of Project 365, and while very occasionally it is irritating to do so, I look back fondly at every photograph and can instantly remember the feelings, laughter, and happiness.

My two favourite photography 'tools' are my dSLR and Instagram. I love Instagram and follow a diverse selection of people from all over the world. My own personal feed is as eclectic in content as those that I follow, and thanks to cloud technology I've been able to upload my dSLR photographs to the laptop and then share them via Dropbox on my phone. It is however, a real faff!

Not anymore though, because I've been sent something which is going to make life a lot easier: a wireless SD card!

Summer Season Starts

by 29 Comments

We're incredibly lucky to be able to nip to a beach whenever we feel like it, and in south Wales there is a massive selection of sandy, pebble or rocky beaches to choose from. The local sandy beach is Barry Island and fortunately it's a gloriously wide expanse of sand deemed worthy of a blue flag for cleanliness.

Penny Skateboard (Giveaway)

by 235 Comments

My favourite aspect of Summer is seeing people of all ages out in the fresh air, laughing and joking, playing and having fun with friends and families. Everyone seems happy, laughter fills the air as children play and explore their world, and smiles play on the faces of everyone enjoying the sun's touch.

What better way to welcome the Summer back than with a competition which promotes that outdoor play aspect?

Making Exercise A Good Thing (Sponsored Post)

by 1 Comment

Ever since I was pregnant with The Boy, I always knew subconsciously that I was going to have to show a very positive outlook towards exercise and outdoor activities, especially as I am not the fittest parent around. I spent much of my childhood playing outdoors in the garden, and whilst I attempted a few sports clubs and activities, it wasn't an area that came naturally to me and as a result I wasn't encouraged actively to pursue it.

Maybe that's why I am so keen to ensure that The Boy is active on weekends with plenty of opportunities to exercise those muscles.
