Quick Feedly Tip: Direct Pinning

By Marisa Lerin Sun, 05/26/2013 - 01:43

If you use a reader for blogs, you're probably well aware that Google Reader is closing soon, which caused a big flurry of action for everyone who was using it. I've pretty comfortably switched to using Feedly. And I just noticed a new feature, which I'm not sure is actually new, or if I was just snoozing. But I thought I'd point it out in case your in the same boat as me.

Sneak Peak Week of May 26

Happy 32nd Anniversary!

By Marisa Lerin Thu, 05/23/2013 - 02:17

Today is my parents 32nd anniversary! And I thought we should celebrate it here a bit since without them, I wouldn't be here! Two brave and inspiring people, they have been living and working abroad for the last 15 years. Life was certainly never boring!

Some great layouts have been posted to the gallery this week. Here are just a few.

Traveling Around Jordan: Aqaba

By Marisa Lerin Wed, 05/22/2013 - 01:21

Over the weekend we had the chance for a quick getaway to Aqaba, which is down on the Red Sea. It's significantly hotter down there at sea level in the desert, it usually stays around 100F/40C. There's great scuba diving and snorkeling, although this time we just relaxed by the pool.

Better Late Than Never: April 2013 List

By Marisa Lerin Tue, 05/21/2013 - 05:25

You may know that I've been working on a monthly list layout. Somehow May is almost over and I just managed to make my April layout. But at least I managed to finish it, so I'm feeling good. I used this month's DST blog train.

New: Tunisia Bundle

By Marisa Lerin Sun, 05/19/2013 - 01:18

Tunisia Bundle

This week's bundle comes to you from Tunisia! Tunisia is an important country to us because it's where Jordan was born and lived the first 11 years of his life. Last summer we were able to take a trip there with his family, which was my first time, to visit lots of places with special memories.

Happy Mother's Day!

By Marisa Lerin Mon, 05/13/2013 - 05:09

I wanted to make this post yesterday, but because of time zones, I didn't want to give away my Mother's Day gift before I actually gave it to my mom!

Gifts can be tricky is you're not around to do something in person, and you've already given your Mom 20 cards or so. So this year, after some brainstorming with my sister, we determined to give my mom a Pinterest board!

Sneak Peak: Week of May 5

By Marisa Lerin Fri, 05/03/2013 - 00:37

Summer has arrived here in Amman. I know some of you are still getting snow, and wondering if spring is coming, but we've moved through spring and it's hot now. The evenings are still pleasant, and we enjoy sitting out in the front garden watching the neighborhood go by.

Brooke and I have an exciting collaboration coming up this next week. Hope you like it!

Trending: Journal Cards

Trending: Journal Cards, How to use them on non-Project Life pages

Whenever I see journal cards, it doesn't matter the colors, the theme, the style, I want them. There's something completely irresistible about those little cards. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I just can't not love them. I want to use them all the time.
