Ultimate Mom’s Guide to Technology

A couple of weeks ago I shared part of my Mother’s day idea and today I’m back with the second half: the Ultimate Mom’s Guide to Technology.   Alternate title- Ultimate Mom’s Guide to Social Media.
Although my mom tries hard to keep up, we often refer to her as a “technophobe.” (lovingly of course) She’s asked me to sit down with her a few times to teach her basic steps of different types of social media.  I always do so much better when things are written out or demonstrated for me and thought she would enjoy something concrete.  I created a guide to go over the basics. 
I chose to highlight Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram.  While there are several others, I thought these were good to start with.

Mother’s Day Gift Idea

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, my mind has been spinning with different ideas.  My Mom can be a bit tricky to buy gifts for so I usually end up making something.  I knew she didn’t need one more knick knack, so I came up with something that will be useful.  I hope.

I received a box filled to the brim with Martha Stewart products and kinda didn’t know where to start.  I experimented with a few of the products before deciding on a simple tote using a few types of paint and most of the paint brushes.

A little background- my mom’s favorite word is Joy.  It was her mom’s name and it is now sprinkled in her jewelry, decor and whatever else we can find to give her.   With that in mind, I made her tote with a JOY quote to put the guide into.  Who needs boring wrapping paper when you can make a cute bag?  And it can be used as a beach tote, for church, to put her books in, etc.

Welcome to the Ward Printable

At church we have new people that come into our ward every once in awhile. I created a “Welcome to the Ward” printable to hopefully help make our new friends feel comfortable and know the important info right away.  Sorta like the “Welcome to the Neighborhood” one I did last year.
The printable wouldn’t be complete without a yummy treat! Chocolate Chip Cookies are my family’s standby.

Simple and straightforward but has all the important info.

I realize that not everyone belongs to my church.  So I asked some of my friends what wording would be appropriate and created a more generalized version as well.
