Kokabella.com: a little talk, a lot of visual by photographic design artist, Kokabella.
My girlfriend Carol in California sent a link to this absolutely amazing handcrafted jewelry just a short time ago. If these are not conversation pieces and show stoppers, I seriously don’t know what is!
The artist, Drayok, charges $27 for basic keys, $34 for medium keys and $47 for detailed ones. The work that must go into them alone makes them worth every pretty penny. Check out Drayok’s gallery.
At 13 months of age, my daughter has a knack for art! Give a girl some paint and paper and watch Picasso smile down from the heavens! How sweet is this?! ;-) It’s so gorgeous, I think I will have it printed on canvas! Ohhh, my little Sophia! (I’m not too proud!).
So I gave Google Chrome a try for a few weeks as my sole browser. I am such a Google-loving girl that I thought for sure their browser would rock my world. I kicked Firefox to the curb and have my tail between my legs for it now. I am back with Mozilla’s Firefox and don’t see myself breaking up with my Fox again anytime soon!
What I didn’t like about Chrome was how it never saved my passwords although it asked each time if I wanted to save them. Nor did I like how RSS feeds didn’t work in Chrome. Others noted this as well. Sure, it was fast but not fast enough to have me choose it over Chrome. Oh, and add-ons? Nobody has more than Firefox.
I’m reminded of that saying; “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Lesson learned. I am happily reunited with the one and only fox!
I got up way too early this morning and left my brain in bed. For no sane reason, I decided to open this horrific-tasting coffee and brew a pot of it… at 4 am. Why? I just don’t know! It was worse than mud! So I’ll carry on with a new pot of coffee and try to get my productivity back on the rails!
Lesson learned: not all change is good… stick with what you know.
I have been baking up some muffins for Sophia today. I don’t want to feed her preservative-packed snacks from the store.
When I lived in Europe and Australia, the shelves weren’t stocked with sugar-based cereals and snacks. Kids ate fresh [Read more...]
Remember the old days of being pulled around in a Radio Flyer Wagon? Back then, it was a simple little wagon with rubber tires. Today, they have plastic tires but the accessories are really neat; canopy, cup holders, seat cushions… my little girl will be riding in style without question. [Read more...]

I am currently attending University of San Francisco through their online learning campus. I will have a Master Certificate in Internet Marketing in March. The cost of the program was $5995.00.
I had heard of a tuition assistance program through the Department of Defense for military spouses. I applied online, was approved immediately and started classes the following week. If your husband or wife is serving in the United States military, you are likely eligible. Check it out for yourself.
In this economy, we need to expand our skills and make ourselves a valuable and rare commodity to our clients and employers. It’s not always easy or feasible to go back to school on a military income. With this extraordinary financial support by the Department of Defense, every military spouse should know about this and take advantage of it. Our spouses do not get paid nearly enough for the service they provide to this fine country.
I chose to attend University of San Francisco based on its one-of-a-kind Internet Marketing program. I have been extremely happy with the program and its instructors. I have so much to say about the program and will do that in an upcoming blog post.
My counselor, Natalie Clark has put 110% effort into making sure I was on track throughout the program. There were days when my husband was deployed, my nine-month old was teething and my greeting card business had deadlines that were nearly impossible to meet. Natalie was a phone call or email away and always responded in a flash! I swear she had to have come with some pretty deep, hands-on experience with the challenges and fears of being married to the military!
Here’s a few words from Natalie:
There is a fantastic opportunity available to all military spouses to utilize up to $6000.00 for professional development.

As a program representative I have had the privilege of enrolling Terry-Anne and many others into our certificate programs. They are offered through the University of San Francisco, Villanova University, Tulane University and the University of Notre Dame, 100% online.

I love reading and have always gone through stages where I read a few books at a time or none. Then I discovered Kindle for iPhone. I started taking classes at University of San Francisco (online) last year and some of the recommended books were available on Kindle. Curiosity got the best of me. Thank goodness I’m intrigued by technology! I gave it a shot and have never looked back.
I can’t imagine buying a paper copy of any book nowadays if it’s available for Kindle. I read everywhere – a paragraph here, a paragraph there. I read while waiting in the doctor’s office, the salon and even while pumping gas! I am certifiably addicted. I even read in the tub! (Don’t try to visualize that!).
Top Reasons to Read the Kindle Version:
I can even add a Kindle Gift Card to my birthday and Christmas wishlist now! Amazon has it covered.
One downside that I thought I’d encounter upon entering the Kindle world was not finding it as interesting or pleasurable as reading a real world paper version. Wrong, wrong and wrong! It’s actually better. I’m hooked for all the reasons above and more.
Of course I’d love to have an actual Kindle so I could keep all of the books in one place and separate from my iPhone which I have loaded with apps of all kinds. However, Rome wasn’t built in a day and I need to replenish my wardrobe before dropping the loot on a real man’s Kindle.
Here are a few of the books I’ve read so far on my free Kindle iPhone App…
A couple of Kindle versions of books that were free and I’m reading now…
