Take my expert advice on how to plan and capture fun family photos that you can use to create unique photo gifts your family will be requesting year after year!

As the family historian and memory-keeper in my family, I've inherited my fair share of legacy artifacts, photos and videos. I've spent countless hours researching ways to organize, preserve and share these memories so that the stories of past generations can live on into the future.

In this episode we chat about the key way I've been able to witness progress when tackling personal photo projects in my "spare" time. Which seems less and less frequent these days.

Feeling a ping of guilt every year as you leave “create a family yearbook” unchecked on your to do list? 

I’ll walk you through the 5 steps I take to make sure I capture the memories + bonus tips for how I actually manage to create the album at the end of the year (or whenever the heck I have time!)

Join our guest, Sarah Marchione and I, as we discuss the topic of loss, grief and the power of searching for "rainbows" in the storms. We believe it is ok to find peace, search for glimmers of light and give yourself permission to celebrate moments of joy, even on your darkest of days. 

We need the full spectrum of light in life.

This episode will be here and ready for you when you are.

Our guest this week is Leah Plunkett, author of the book SHARENTHOOD, and faculty at Harvard Law School and faculty associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society.

Leah and I recently reconnected when I had the opportunity to capture some new headshots for her website upgrade. You may have heard of her before – she’s literally an armchair expert and Dr. Phil trusts her as an expert panelist. She’s been featured in the New Yorker, the Economist, Good Morning America, PBS, and more.

She’s a self described “Law Nerd” who spends most of her days reading through privacy laws and educating parents about ways we can “advocate” for our kids and guide them in ways to protect themselves in this ever evolving digital world.

Leah wrote Sharethood to shine light on the mistakes adults make with kids’ private information, the risks of that result and the legal system that enables the collection of your child’s digital footprint from often before they are born!

In this episode, we discuss practical ways we as parents can be more mindful about what we say about our kids online, what apps we use, and how we can model safe sharing in the digital world for our children. 

In this conversation we interview Personal Family Lawyer, David Feakes, Founder and Owner of the Parents Estate Planning Law Firm in Acton, MA. 

We discuss all you need to know about planning your legacy through estate planning and the legal process. We also chat about practical ways to ensure that your children are protected in the event of a tragedy or your unexpected early departure while you still have minor children in your care.
