I’ve just had an eye-opening revelation about exactly how dependent my family has become on portable electronic devices. I’m packing for our road trip and it looks like we’ll need a separate suitcase just for the gadgets we require to stay connected and entertained. The list includes: 1 digital camera w/ spare batteries (to capture […]

It’s true, I’m secretly a technology geek at heart. I must have all the latest gadgets, and drool over the ones I can’t afford. My latest and greatest acquisition is a laptop computer complete with wireless network, as previously threatened. It even has that long-desired DVD burner so I can make DVDs from our digital […]
