Confession: I was 14 and 15 weeks pregnant when I took my Alaska Princess cruise in June. Even though my doctor said it was a totally safe endeavor, I still worried about whether it was a good idea to take a cruise while expecting. Well, I had a fantastic time and I’m now convinced that a […]

In the days of film, I’d be featured on Hoarders because my apartment would be drowning in prints and I’d be suffocating by negatives. But in this digital age, it’s just the opposite.

Amanda Lobell and Neil Roach found all that and more when they traveled along the gorgeous Turkish coast.

Did you see those Sony commercials where Taylor Swift takes a photo of her adoring fans by physically panning the camera? I did, and thought that Sony’s Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode was one of the coolest features I’ve ever seen. Since it was time for me to buy a new point-and-shoot digital camera, I decided […]
