Playgroup Week #12: Organizing & Printing Your Photos

by Désirée
written by Désirée

Some of the most common questions people ask me about photography, actually have to do with what happens AFTER I take the photos on my DSLR or iPhone. I think we’re all guilty of doing, well, NOTHING with our photos, right? Maybe we just post them to Instagram… or we just let them sit inside our devices and then we panic about the day our camera card corrupts or we run out of space on our smartphones.

I get lots of questions about how I organize and print my photos, but since I’m not a pro and I wanted to learn some tips too, I invited one of my blogging friends, Jennifer Borget of Cherish365 (previously Baby Making Machine) to share her photo-printing and organizing advice with us!

Watch the episode below to find out how Jennifer gets her photos out of her camera and into her home, learn how an app called MemoryWeb can ease the stress of organizing your photos online, and enter to win this week’s incredible giveaway. Scroll down… you do NOT want to miss this one!

 

Be sure to visit Jennifer’s blog at cherish365.com and you can follow her on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Giveaway

This week, we have a huge giveaway from MemoryWeb including: a Canon EOS Rebel T6 Digital SLR camera body, a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM standard lens, and a one year subscription to MemoryWeb including 1 terabyte storage, original file resolution, and best display & archival quality. This is the perfect prize pack for aspiring photographers and parents who can’t wait to up their photo game. Four runners up will also get a year long MemoryWeb subscription, and you have multiple options for entering. Good luck and thanks for watching!

Playgroup Week 7: Traveling With A Baby

by Désirée
written by Désirée

DockATot

This week I’m at the BE Conference in Austin with Wallace, so I wanted to chat with you guys about what it’s like to travel with a baby and offer some tips for those who maybe haven’t done it before.

If you’re a first time mom, especially, it can be intimidating, especially if you’re traveling a long distance or if there’s a plane or lengthy car rides involved.

In this week’s episode of the Baby Rabies Playgroup, I wanted to share some of the things that work for us- including tips for getting from point A to point B in one piece, what to bring (and what can totally stay at home), and how to feel as prepared as possible when you’re away from home.

Watch the episode below!

A few more posts on the topic:

You can click here to see previous episodes or head to fb.com/BabyRabiesBlog.

Giveaway

Since the DockATot is SO perfect for travel (especially travel where bringing a pack and play would be ridiculous) they’ve offered up a giveaway for you guys.

Enter below and I’ll announce the winner in next week’s Playgroup.

Last Minute Invitation To My Online Playgroup!

Last Minute Invitation To My Online Playgroup!

by Jill
written by Jill

Hey! So I know this is short notice, but want to come to my playgroup tomorrow morning? Listen, before you’re like, “Well, I don’t know if my baby is going to be napping, and I’m not in the mood to be dressed and have my teeth brushed by 10:30 (CST) in the morning and plus I DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE, JILL,”  let me just stop you right there because THIS is the best kind of playgroup ever. It’s on the internet. Live. On my Facebook page, to be specific.

Here’s the event details page! Be sure to go to Facebook.com/BabyRabiesBlog for the FB live video.

Join the Baby Rabies Playgroup on Facebook every Tuesday at 10:30 am CST | Facebook.com/BabyRabiesBlog

Nobody has to shower or brush their teeth, and I’m the only one that needs to be dressed. You don’t have to have a baby of a certain age. Expecting parents (not just moms!) and experienced parents are all welcome.

It’s going to be a test-run, the first of it’s kind for me, and hopefully of more to come. I don’t know exactly how it will run (though I have a rough outline of the schedule in my head), but we’ll hang out there for 30ish minutes. I’ll have Wallace with me if he’s not napping. He might be on my boob the whole time. Newborns are wildly unpredictable like that.

I figure tomorrow we’ll introduce ourselves and chat a bit about how we want them to run in the future and ideas for topics, guest speakers, and brands to collaborate with. I honestly don’t have a solid plan other than turning on my camera at 10:30 am CST and just.. talking. Hanging out. If you can’t make it to tune in live, DON’T WORRY! You can still watch the video and chime in in the comments at a time that works for you. We’ll pin it to the top of my FB page.

By next Tuesday, Feb. 7th, I think we’ll have a bit more of a structured approach, and I know for sure that on that day I will announce two winners of a couple rad prizes from Joovy.

Joovy Boob Baby Bottle Gift Set – $90 value We love these bottles! Joovy sent us the glass bottle gift set, and it’s what we’ve been using to bottle feed Wallace when my nipples need a break or when I’m away and he’s hanging with daddy.

Joovy Zoom Ultralight 360 Jogging Stroller – $300 value We had to replace the jogging stroller we’ve had for 9 years and put major mileage on. It was made by a very popular jogging stroller brand, and I can tell you this Joovy stroller is every bit as rugged and easy to maneuver. It folds and looks even better.

You don’t have to be present at the playgroup to win these prizes, but I will announce the winners during that time. Remember, nobody is winning these tomorrow. We’ll announce these winners NEXT Tuesday, Feb. 7th.

Fill out the Rafflecopter below to enter to win. Comments on my FB page will not count. Hope to see you tomorrow!

Minted Holiday Happiness- 3 Winners!

Minted Holiday Happiness- 3 Winners!

by Jill
written by Jill

There are few routines we have in our life that I honor as much as the holiday photo card.

Okay, so sometimes we’ve had to make them New Years cards… and then there was the one year when I was in the first trimester with Lowell. I shot, designed and printed the cards, and then I neglected to actually mail them. Oops!

All that matters, though, is that we end up with one to frame and put out with the rest of our Christmas decorations. I mean, yeah, of course I want to send tidings of good cheer to the people we love. Of course!

But nothing warms my heart as much as the sight of them all lined up and framed, going way back to the very first Christmas Scott and I spent together. Naturally, we took pictures with our dogs back then. (And I thought that was hard…. lolol! Hashtag: toddlers.)

A photo posted by Jill Krause (@babyrabies) on

We’ve used a lot of companies over the years, but Minted is, for sure, at the top of my list. I love that they use independent artists to design for them, and the print quality is top notch.

IMG_5684

My very favorite feature, though, is the addressing. I spent an hour typing in addresses via my Minted account a couple years ago, and now it’s super easy to select, edit, or add recipients. Then BOOM. They come with addresses printed on the front, and I upgrade to have our return address printed on the back because that’s 100% worth it.

IMG_5685

Trust me when I say that this picture is adorable. Trying not to spoil it for our friends and family. You’ve already seen my outfit that Stitch Fix helped me put together.

IMG_5683

There’s no way these aren’t getting sent. And that gold foil? Gonna look soooo good framed and on our mantle. And also in my loved one’s mailboxes. Of course!

Okay- BEST NEWS! I’ve got THREE $100 credits to Minted to giveaway. THREE!!

Just go here to enter. That’s it. Good luck!!

3 winners will be chosen randomly by Minted at 11:59 pm on 11/24/15 and will be notified via email shortly after.

Big thanks to Minted for providing our cards for us this year. Minted links are affiliate.
