Thanks to CBS for posting this fun article on the Best Kids Bands in LA — I’m honored to be included with my good friends Justin Roberts and Lucky Diaz & the Family Jam Band.

“This lovably off-beat songstress, who somehow makes songs about ladybugs and tea parties evoke the quirky coolness of Liz Phair or Ingrid Michaelson, has evolved as a global family favorite and critic’s darling. England’s music is consistently referred to as refreshingly “simple”- just the perfect thing when you want to enjoy the mellower side of musical family fare.” full review is here.

What to do with all those PHONE PHOTOS?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

Hey there,
I just posted a new entry on my DIARY page about a fun fridge collage that my kids and I did with some of our phone photos – check it out if you like! And we’d love to know if you have any ideas of how to display your everyday pictures!

What to do with all those PHONE PHOTOS…

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

Like a lot of people, I take a ton of pictures using my phone. I have a pretty nice SLR camera but I definitely use my phone camera much more often. When I think about it, I realize that my phone camera is my most useful tool in truly capturing THE EVERYDAY because I have it with me all the time.

I’ve come to think of these phone photos as MY FAMILY’S VISUAL JOURNAL and recently wanted to print some out and put them up somewhere in our house. So my boys and I came up with the idea of making a FRIDGE COLLAGE. I saw the “Life is Huge” quote in a Lotta Jansdotter book I recently bought and love the idea behind it.

Do you have any fun or creative ways you like to display your phone photos? I’d love to know!

(p.s. I took most of these pictures using the Hipstamatic app and/or Polaroidizer apps).
