Initially, I planned to go to one of the nearby drugstores and drop off a roll of film to share with you all tonight. Apparently, in 2015, not many people are getting film developed. So these companies decided all that space could be better utilized. While not convenient for me, I never thought the one hour photo was doing some of the film justice. So I sent away three rolls to be developed in about a week and will find a local developer for future needs.
The struggle.
Have no fear! Snaps From The Past will go on as planned. I have SO many 'snaps' to share this series could, and probably will go on for a long long time. Here are a few.
Snaps From The Past vol.2
This Thanksgiving, I was lucky enough to sneak home for a quick holiday with my family. I was also lucky enough to have the coolest mama around. So cool that she took me on our first mother daughter trip to Vegas. We had so much fun, went to once in a lifetime shows and were able to get a lot of quality time in. It was so needed and so so much fun! One day we spent a few hours looking through some old family photos. These albums have been around forever. We were always told "If there is a fire, you grab the albums and GET OUT." and I can see why my mom put so much importance on them. I think it sparked my inner need to visually 'document' everything, and it was really great to have them to look back at now. I get to see my family's past from their own perspective. This week, for Snaps From The Past, I decided to share some here.

Show me someone who doesn't like macaroni and cheese and I will show you someone you should not trust. Anyone with that much self-control has to be part robot. I stumbled upon this recipe over five years ago and it is the biggest 'dish request' I get when we go to pot-luck dinner parties and family gatherings. Of course, this recipe was created by the oh so talented Martha Stewart so there really isn't much tweaking necessary.

I'm guessing that at sometime in the last few years you heard someone talking about code. You probably know someone who spends their day on the computer writing the code that makes our internet such a lovely place to website watch...window shop...peruse...
There are all types of computer programming 'languages'. Some, like HTML, CSS and JavaScript, you probably have heard of . While others, such as PHP or Ruby, may be less familiar to you.
Even though sometimes technology advances faster than we can keep up, it's a good idea to at least be familiar with what tools are used to build the places where we spend a lot of our time. Similar to when you brush up on the native tongue when visiting another country, you should also learn the language of the sites, apps and interactive websites that are speaking to you
right now.
Three ways to add foil accents to clothes, fabrics and almost anything in your home.
You guys, I'm obsessed! My table is covered in tiny gold flakes and I have no plans to clean up! (*warning: therundmcb is not responsible for any new addictions we help create) I now have hologram accented pillows, a gold foiled snapback, a shiny leopard foil triangle tank, and two VOTE tees. Yes, two...one silver and one gold, duh. I love a good metallic accent and our apartment is full of bits of copper, gold, and silver. So naturally when I decided I wanted to make a VOTE tee to remind others of the often slighted mid-term elections, I decided it should be gold. I also wanted to achieve this without the expense and equipment that comes with conventional screen printing and foil transfer process. The hunt was on
