Giveaway Goodness: Flip Camcorder
Well, friends, my due date is St. Patrick's Day, but clearly, I'm not going to be the only lucky one. I adore the Flip camcorder; I carry mine everywhere and it has proven fantastic for capturing video for family (far away relatives need not worry about missing out on Laurel's school plays and concerts), work (the tech guys at Life.Style have been super impressed with the quality of my on the fly interview footage), and fun (thanks to the easy interface I set up a YouTube channel...I'm a little shocked by how many people have viewed my Straight No Chaser clips). So how cool is it that as part of my Giveaway Goodness series, the kind folks at Flip want to gift one of you fabulous readers with either their shamrock or retro clover UltraHD 8GB (2 hour) Flip camera? Totally awesome! Check out the rules below to enter to win:

Because I'm obsessed with compactness and efficiency, I am immediately drawn to all in one anything, especially when it comes to tech matters (because really, who doesn't want less cables and blinking lights in their office?). So how's this for cool? As part of my Giveaway Goodness series, 
Without fail, every time we visit with our wonderful friends Anne and Michael, we pick up lovely hosting ideas. And this New Year’s Eve we learned about raclette, a dish/serving method that’s wonderfully communal and conversation inspiring. It’s also perfect for people like me who like to sample a little bit of everything at dinner, and it presents elegantly while being super simple to prepare.
I don’t typically post about contests on other sites, but I wanted to share this

Oh, 
I’m well aware that my passion for preserving and sharing memories – via photos, videos, and on paper – is related to the fact that I have very little documentation of my own childhood (other than school photos, I have about a dozen baby pictures, all shot on the same day). And as someone who relies on technology (both for work and said memory preservation) yet desires simple spaces and clean lines, I’ve long felt defeated by the battle of cords and cables. So it’s no wonder that I am totally in love with the ridiculously easy to use, blissfully cord-free

As someone who strives for streamlined living and working, I’ve always loved the concept of multifunction machines, but until recently, I had yet to find one (on a reasonable budget) that really and truly did what it was supposed to do. That is, until I tried the 
Everyone’s heard of, or experienced firsthand, computer crash (with no backup) horror stories; tearful, frustrated tales of valuable work lost and precious digital family photos and videos never to be seen again. Thankfully though, the onerous nature of backups is a thing of the past thanks to the ridiculously easy to use

I’m not sure whether it’s coincidence or consequence that June-born Jon loves cherries, but every year he’d rather have cherry pie than cake. The year Laurel was born, in my sleep deprived, frantically trying-to-bake-while-on-a-conference-call state, I dropped my fully assembled pie as I tried to put it in the oven. I thus was too traumatized last year to try again, but when Bon Appétit’s June 2008 issue featured this
