And one thing I've learned is that it is better to up your ISO higher than you normally would to overexpose slightly (or fully expose) a photo than to underexpose and then bring it up in photoshop. There is so much more information in the exposure end and as long as you don't fully overexpose you will end up with better photos with a little grain vs. photos with lots of noise due to underexposure.
Just start with the beginner threads one by one and take notes. That is what I did, and taking the notes really helped.
And yes motion blur will always ruin a photo, so keep the SS up for kiddos (I always thought 120 was safe, but now know it isn't).
LOts more info there too about color correction and skin tones which I really want to play more with.
Maybe take one day a week and devote to photography! I'm betting your scrapbooking self will thank you!
