LemonAid!
This past weekend, Children’s Miracle Network held their 9th annual Anthem LemonAid effort and PUNCH hosted a stand for our 5th year. One hundred percent of the proceeds went to Children’s Hospital and the VCU Children’s Medical Center, which recently joined forces. Last year, 286 LemonAid stands raised more than $39,000. Everyone involved is hoping to do even better this year, and since there were more than 800 stands, it’s a good bet they will! read more >>

3rd Annual Anthem Quest for the Cure
It is a widely accepted and generally undisputed fact that Robert E. Lee was a Confederate general during the Civil War. What falls into hazier territory is the name of his horse. But I digress, we’ll revisit this in a moment... read more >>

Our Fredericksburg Field Trip
In July, Justin and I dogsat for his parents in Fredericksburg for a week. I was excited because I had never been to Fredericksburg as a “tourist,” always to just visit family. So we gathered our cameras, walking shoes, and fanny packs and explored Fredericksburg for all its worth. read more >>
Go do that to-do that you do so well
One thing that has always puzzled me about the iPhone, and the Mac, is the lack of a built-in Apple integrated planner. The whole reason I finally switched from a paper planner to the iPhone was that I apparently naively expected such features. read more >>

Off to Summer Camp-Emerging Media Style
This week I’ve been dropping my boys off at basketball camp every day. Listening to the coach talk to the group of kids reminded me of a few things about my work as well.
He said that 80 percent of the games during the season are won in pre-season training camp. If that is true, I think it is time we all did a little “Summer Camp” to get our game in shape for a great season! So, for all of you who thought you were too old for Summer Camp, over the next few weeks we’ll be going back to the basics with Emerging Media Summer Camp. You can catch the tips here on my weekly blog and can come by and discuss them in person at Coffee With Kendall every Thursday morning at 9:30 am at Ellwood’s Coffee.

You would imagine, like most people, at the end of my day I’d like to shake off the pressure of my job and leave work at the door. But that is the curse of being a graphic designer—it is impossible to escape your profession. read more >>

Tennis Has Impact Too
I’ve been playing in various tennis leagues for years now and many of my teams have won local flights and made it to the districts (or state) level. That’s usually as far as I get. But my 8.0 mixed doubles team won the whole shebang! read more >>
Keeping up with Trends
Over the course of my years I’ve been able to participate in quite a few trends. It started with jelly shoes and moved on to big bangs, stonewashed jeans and the dreaded fanny pack. Oh, yes, I’ve always stayed up-to-date with the latest trends! read more >>
