My Filmmaker Daughter

Karlyn

My daughter – Kat – has been creating and editing films for a couple of years now. She really enjoys it and wants to make it her career. I’m one of her biggest fans of course! Yes, you’re typical mom probably, but honestly; I look forward to seeing where this takes her and hope her dreams of a career doing this come to light. I think it’s so important in life to be able to love your work! I love what I do and I hope my kids can say that 5, 10 and 20 years from now too!

Hollywood Fun on The Closer set

Karlyn

I wasn’t sure what to expect on the set of The Closer, but it was really so much fun! My family and I had such a blast meeting Greg LaVoi, who played host that day, showing us around the set at Raleigh Studios, introducing us to cast, crew, his adorable “Stella” cutie and his beautiful vintage Irene collection. Above is a photo they took at the studio for us (L-R: My husband, myself, my daughter, Kyra Sedgwick and my son). Aside from the picture taking, Kyra, who plays “Brenda” on The Closer, took a few moments between takes to stop and talk to each of us. She is so sweet. She asked the ages of my two kids (21 & [ ... ]

Web Design, I’m not done yet!

Karlyn

I was just updating my site list. It’s a page here at fromkarlyn.com, that lists all the websites I own and care for. Since around 1998 ‘ish, I have been puting together websites for myself, clients, friends and family. In 2000, I decided to be official and go from a free site service to my own dot-com.� My first dot-com and now officially my oldest site, is MomsRewards.com. Fast forward.. Ten years and a dozen domains later. A few of the websites didn’t last. For whatever reason, I gave them up. However, nine remain, and these are all my babies. I’m not done yet though.. Why?� It’s fun. I really enjoy it… the whole process: from the planning, to the design, to the adding [ ... ]

Winning with 24Savvy

Karlyn

24Savvy is a website I happened onto from a link on someone’s blog (I think!). I can’t really remember how I ended up there, but I’m very glad that I did. I won a bundle of goodies at 24/Savvy, my first week as a member. You can see those goodies in my photo here. I posted a comment about my win at the 24/Savvy site as well. 24Savvy is a community of style news and reviews, gift giveaways and a webisode series hosted by the adorable Kathleen Monteleone. She does a great job as host and offers relevant and fun content as “Savvy Girl” member. I enjoy visiting 24/Savvy just about daily, to check out the new product [ ... ]

From 2009 to 2010

Karlyn

golden ball from Crestock Royalty Free Images 2010 is here and in full swing. On this 11th day of this first month, of this new year, I find myself thinking about the changes I made in 2009 and my hopes for the months ahead in 2010. I don’t normally do the whole resolutions�thing, but I do see the importance of contemplating what’s most important, setting goals and making plans for oneself.. whether that be on January 1st, or April 1st. It’s just a good idea. So, back in August of 2009, I posted�briefly�about trying out a vegetarian lifestyle. �I started a vegetarian diet in July ’09 actually, and it stuck. I enjoyed it, and still do – 7 months later. I can’t [ ... ]
