I love receiving my FamilyFun magazine. So packed with ideas especially for an unimaginative mom like me. I found this really cool. Smilebox and FamilyFun partnered to create online recipe cards. You can create your very own recipe pages, upload your own pictures, add music and email them to family and friends. I think you can also blog and print them. So fun.

I tell you; they seem to be able to come up with better and better technology on a daily basis.  My younger brother has this cool tech gadget, a DVD Recorder, and we, as a family just love it.  He’s able to not only create DVDs of our home videos but also make copies for everyone in the family.  He’s even been able to make a little sideline cash by creating wedding DVDs and such for others.

This DVD Recorder allows him to create his own DVDs and /or make copies.  Of course, there are copyright laws out there that prohibit him from legally making copies of DVDs that we buy, but creating his own is more fun anyway.  He seems to think so too.  He gave me a great DVD of pictures of my kids complete with background music for Christmas this year.  What a special gift, all because of the power of technology and this awesome gadget.
