On the Spot

A couple random questions that I get asked all the time via conversations and random emails, I thought I'd share with you.

• What kind of camera do you have?

We have 3, actually. We have the Nikon D70 and Nikon D90, and some cheapo point and shoot that I'm always disappointed with. The Nikon D90 is our baby and is used the most. The Nikon D70 was our first digital SLR camera and we love it, but it's only used as a backup on photo shoots and for more everyday use. I bought the cheapo point and shoot to take around with me in my purse. It was the cheapest camera I could find at best buy (about $130) that seemed okay. I am always disappointed with this camera and it only gets used at events that I need to smuggle in a camera, or I just don't want to lug around all the equipment that come with the other cameras.

• What is Toolulu?

At the core, we are a marketing/public relations firm. We help individuals and companies focus on their goals and make them a reality with strategic planning. Our expertise is helping these same people create an online presence. We do this by creating a custom plan unique to each business and help them build a network online (via facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, etc). We realize that not all companies have the same goals so we tailor these to the specific needs. We also offer classes (i.e. Blogging, Using facebook & twitter, Beginner's Etsy class, etc) to help everyone the basics on using these mediums to promote themselves or their business.

• How is Jonzy?

Apparently, I haven't blogged about Jonzy in quite awhile. Soon, though I promise. He is good, and my aunt calls him the horse. Let's just say that he has filled out quite a bit. Hopefully our new exercise program will help him trim down quite a bit.

• What is Fresh Nest Design?

This is a project I started with Erin Schlosser {check out her amazing stamp line here- she is uber-talented!} We both have a thing for interior design. She's a pro, and I'm not, but we love it all the same. We teach our readers how to design their space for themselves by doing tutorials (i.e how to paint, hang a picture, etc) and also inspire by showing lovely bedrooms, stairwells, etc. We also help design spaces for anyone that wants to hire us out for their space. {Good news: we are giving two space redesigns away!!}

• You work FT too! How do you have time for it all?

It's true, I do work full time and I don't sleep. That's not totally true, I do sleep, but I'm up late and up early. I have a really tight schedule, but I prioritize everything to maximize my time. When I get home from work, until the time Caden goes to sleep, it's family time. I am home most evenings, but I do take a day or two a month as "my" evenings, but I feel to guilty to take any more.

These are a list of the most popular questions I receive, but please feel free to ask away in the comments and I promise to answer them.

Now, I have a couple questions for you...

• What is your favorite color?
• What was your elementary school mascot?
• What have you done today?
