Saving Memories

Now that you have spent some time taking photos what do you do with those photos. It used to be you had to take the film in to get developed and then you would get your pictures back and most people put them in boxes. Some put them in albums. This day and age of digital photography people are leaving them on the camera, their computer or a disk. Many people don't do anything with those pictures.

Maybe you are the type of person who likes to create memory books or scrapbooks so you have your trips, special occasions or family photos organized into a neat little book. If so maybe spend some of your leisure time this weekend creating those memory books.

My daughter loves to create memory books on Shutterfly and she has done a couple of them. She is very good and putting those photos together and creating a caption. Personally I think it is much easier to do the memory book at Shutterfly than it is to sit down and scrapbook with scissors and paper. There are however many people who love this type of memory making and it can be a great way to escape the rat race of leadership.

There are a number of sites for scrap booking that are available since I am not an expert I would like my readers to chime in and supply some good scrapbook sites. Leave a comment with your favorite scrapbook site and others will be able to read it.

There are also a number of websites like Shutterfly and memory books are not the only thing they allow you to create. You can put photos on a number of things including greeting cards and announcements. There is a new site available. They don't allow you to create memory books but if you are in need of announcements, greeting cards or invitations try Wishing Tree Designs. It is created by the company I work for and we have a family and friends deal going on. After you visit the site let me know what you think.

Where Have I Been?

 The title of this article is apropos since I haven't blogged in almost 12 years. I plan to start this blog up again and try to blog on a consistent basis. I will also be broadening the topics that I write about. Be sure to subscribe so you can get notifications about when I post. So what have I been up to since that October day in 2013 when I made my last blog? Let me recap for you. When that post happened I was in the middle of my Toastmaster journey and I'm happy to say that I crossed the Toastmaster finish line by earning my DTM. I didn't continue in Toastmasters after that since I changed jobs and took my leadership skills to Mathnasium and started running a Mathnasium in Blaine MN in 2016. I got the opportunity to blend my education degree with my MBA and use it as the Director of the Mathnasium in Blaine. I also had the opportunity to be the director at one in St Louis Park and one in  Andover. I ran these until 2023 when I decided to go back into the classroom and t...

Math, It's For Everyone!

 I used to write a lot on this blog about leadership and you can still read all of those blog postings. I may still write about leadership but this blog and my other two will focus on things I enjoy. Not to say I don't enjoy leadership but I'll be mixing it up more. I have a bible verse for the week blog and a sport blog and those will focus on those things.  This Blog will focus on leadership, politics, trips, math and topics I find interesting. Today I want to mention that I started a YouTube channel on math topics. I posted my first one last week and it dealt with finding 10s when adding a lot of numbers together. Whether you like math or find it to be the worst thing in the world please know that math is everywhere and in everything you do. Math isn't about crunching numbers, it isn't made to torture you. Math is more about problem solving, understanding processes, and making things easier. Everyone can be successful in math; you just have to understand the language...

Team of Rivals

 Today I'm going to give you a book review. My favorite books to read are non-fiction books about baseball seasons, baseball players, presidents, or history. The book I'm currently reading and almost done with is "Team Of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin published in 2005. This book is 754 pages and I have 23 pages left so I think I can give you a good indication about the book. This book is really a retelling of the political career and presidency of Abraham Lincoln as told through extensive research into diaries and memoirs of those who worked closely with Lincoln. I have really enjoyed this book and the writing of Kearns. She is able to piece together all of her information about Lincoln's presidency and life during that time. She gives us up close narratives of the behind the scenes at the White House and his cabinet especially during the civil war. More often than not Presidents will give cabinet spots to friends. This book shows that Lincoln surrounded himsel...
