OK so I am totally intrigued by this company, check it out. How Fast They Grow, a mom-run company, is putting a digital twist on traditional scrapbooking. After the birth of her child four years ago, founder Cathy Bennett became disillusioned with the time-consuming nature of scrapbooking. So instead of sitting around and complaining about it like I would, she went and figured out a way to digitize the scrapbook.
How Fast They Grow allows parents to make lovely scrapbook pages on their computer in about 7 minutes and have them printed by HFTG. Just drag and drop your digital images into a cagillion different pre-designed templates, enter your own copy and boom, you’re done. You can even design and order just one printed page at a time. I like the idea of getting it done per event. Not as much pressure as sitting down with three rolls of printed pictures and no clue where to start.
OK, talk about an internet rabbit hole. My friend Micky sent me the link to Television Tunes the other day. I sort of wish she never had. The site has almost 6000 TV theme songs. I can’t get the song from Cheers out of my head to save my life. I made Sy a little mix of all of her favorite TV theme songs yesterday while she was napping. She was so geeked out she started jumping around dancing, meanwhile begging to hear the Clifford Puppy Days theme song just ONE MORE TIME!
The songs are not superior quality at all, nor are they for sale, but you can download them for your listening pleasure and send along a donation to the site if you really want to ensure that the theme song to CHiPs will be there for you always.
Must.Put.The.Computer.Down.
Congratulations to Kate M, Limit, Miri, Christine and Allison!

[Ed. Note: Thanks to my husband for writing this post. He is referred to as “tech support” by most of our family. He’s like our very own personal Geek Squad (I mean that in the nicest way, dude). So keep your eyes peeled for more technology-based reviews from Rog. Enjoy the first one!]
Our friends and family often request the latest pictures of our girl Sy or the newest thing she’s learned. Like most people, our relatives and friends are spread out across the country and even the world (West Coast, East Coast, Canada, UK, Switzerland, Asia). Sending emails everyday or even every week with pictures would be a little much. But having an online presence of some sort would solve the problem. That’s where the family website comes in.
We have a blog with our own domain name and that’s where we can post little updates. Our peeps can check the site and see that most recent pictures and read about the latest Sy-ism.
Here’s how to set up your own blog and keep your friends and family up to date.
