Sprout by HP
So – what’s cooler than a really cool computer? An even cooler computer – that’s what. And that cooler computer is the Sprout by HP. I had the opportunity to team up with HP to try out the Sprout – their newest desk top designed specifically for creatives. You guys – this thing is craaaaay. Straight cray I tell you! There are a ridiculous number of unique features, some of the standouts being the dual screen (one HD touchscreen and one interactive touch mat), a projector which allows you to scan stuff and capture hi-res 3D images, and my personal favorite: the Creativity Station – which is basically like a touchscreen version of a mini photoshop. Are you peeing your pants yet? You should be. I’ve been trying out the Sprout for several different blog projects. The one I’m most excited about is a coffee table book I’m creating which will document in…
This lil’ family of mine
Right before Christmas, our friend and photographer Kirsten took our family pictures. And in true Shannon Willardson fashion, I am somehow just now getting around to posting them. Ooops. But if you’re also wondering why I posted 700 of them, it’s because I just can’t help myself. This family of mine has me all sorts of obsessed and enamored and every other hyperbolic love word. I just can’t get enough of them. p.s. Is it wrong that I love baby Jack’s frownie face almost as much as his little grinning face? There’s just something so irresistibly cute about that little face when it’s angry. Have a Totes Awesome Tuesday! Thanks for reading.
Oh hi 2015 (plus a giveaway)
Photo cred: KNW Photography Ah, the new year. A time of new beginnings,. Truth be told, I’m not really one for resolutions. I used to be, and then I said ‘da heck wit diss!’ when I realized that setting resolutions mostly made me feel like a fatty fat francis failure approximately 5 minutes after setting them. Besides – where’s the logic in resolving once a year to make a bunch of changes or improvements? Nah – not my style. For me, the logic seems to lie in setting goals year round, attempting to stay motivated year round, and recommitting as often as needed. And ya know what my favorite part is? That recommitment part. I love knowing that as often as needed, we can recommit ourselves – to whatever – to striving to reach our goals, to being a certain kind of person, to doing things we said we wanted to…
