Did you see the 'ring of fire' eclipse?

We were lucky to be able to see the ring of fire eclipse yesterday here in Southern California. Unfortunately sunglasses will not help you to see it (hopefully no one tried that), so I took some pictures with my phone and camera and we made a quick viewer out of a box. It was very interesting. So for all our friends who were not able to view the eclipse, here are the pictures.

What The Modern Mom Wants For Mother's Day Plus Mother's Day Specials

Modern Moms are Fashionistas!

Thanks to the aid of the internet, word of mouth, and popular sites like Pinterest, the modern mom loves fashion and style. You can be trendy and a mom at the same time. While flowers are a nice touch, modern moms are preferring something that makes them feel pretty and like the star of their own life. 

Sarah Maizes states in her article on Today Moms, "Why are people so surprised that moms love fashion, have style and want to look good? Society simply assumes that once we have children, we as people (let alone fashionable human beings) cease to exist. For thousands of years, women have been expected to hang up their hotness once they have children. And it’s not OK. Not with me...... I want glamour! I want clothes that make me feel like a million bucks (without spending a million bucks…).."

BIZTIPS: FREE Photo Editing Programs for the Small Business

Photo editing. Everyone does it - from personal reasons to business reasons. Maybe you just need to change the lighting in a picture you took of your son at the park, or maybe you need to add some promotional text to a great stock image you have of an item you are promoting. Regardless of your photo editing needs, I have some great program suggestions that are FREE and can help you save hundreds of dollars. A really great thing about free programs is the vast amount of tutorials online that will teach you how to use the programs free and on your own time.

There are a lot of great programs available, but I'm only going to talk about my personal two favorites in this article. The two do different things, so often I find myself using a combination of both programs when working on photos.

PAINT.NET

Let me clear up something really quick. The program is named Paint.Net, but it's actually located at http://www.getpaint.net/. 

It's free to download and completely safe (I've been using it for over 4 years) and CNET gives it a 5 star review. 

Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins.

Although there are some limitations to the software (you can't bend images or text for example), it is a really great photo editing software. If you have never used it or similar programs (such as Adobe Photoshop) then it might be a little intimidating at first. But give it time, read the tutorials and practice - you'll have it figured out in no time.


PICASA

Picasa is Google's photo editing program. One of my favorite features of Picasa is the collage option it has. It makes it quick and easy to create a product showcase on one image file that is clean, and together. It's great if you have a lot of images that need to be edited quickly. The editing options are simple, yet it has the important ones. You can change the lighting and contrast quickly. You can crop easily as well. The cropping tool works great if you need a certain size for your website, such as the shape of a square.

I love that Google updates it regularly as well and adds new effects and options, making it a better tool with each update.

Check out the getting started guide!


Have fun and please comment with any questions you have! I'll try to answer them as best as I can.

Fish swim through the cool summer pond water and  ducks splash as a dragon fly twirls from one resting place to another. Style 1413 takes me  back to warm summer memory in Tennessee, as it features a dragonfly arm.
