When it comes to graphic design, I must admit that I'm a lightweight. I've dabbled in Photoshop off and on since first being introduced to it. I am also in LOVE with the online editor I found from Pixlr. I first discovered it as a Chrome App, but constantly use it in Firefox. I find it's perfect for quick resizing and basic editing. So far for me the only drawback is the text tools are a little weak - the text entry box is small and cannot be resized. But for everything else, it's quick and easy!

It's Summer Time! (Safety First)
Last Day of School is tomorrow! We have lots of swimming planned this summer. Our new pool has a real deep end - 10ft with a diving board. That means being even more vigilant than ever.
My little ones, who are not yet strong swimmers still wear life jackets in the pool. I don't care if it's dorky - if you're not having 1 on 1 time learning to swim with mom, then you have to have the jacket on! It's 4 kids and only 1 mom so I have to play it safe.
Here's a great article on Slate about what REAL drowning looks like (not at all like in the movies!)
We have not done formal swim lesson, but I am working with each kid at their comfort level to teach them the basics - floating on your back, treading water, etc. Would welcome any tips from others in the comments.
Check out the video. Forward to your friends and have a safe and fun summer!

Gratitude...
A little boy wanted to go fishing so, his grandpa came and picked him up one morning, took him to a store and bought him his very own fishing pole and some tackle and they spent the day fishing.
When grandpa dropped him off his mother asked him if he thanked his grandpa for the new fishing pole and for taking him fishing. The little boy didn’t say a word so, his mother asked him again. And still he stayed quiet.
She asked him the third time and demanded an answer. The little boy said when I thanked grandpa for the new fishing pole and for taking me fishing he said don’t mention it.
