It seems that there are fundraisers for pretty much everything these days and they often start the very first week of school. I actually love fundraisers. I think it is mostly due to the fact that, because my kids are still so young, I am usually the fundraiser consumer and not the fundraiser organizer or…

Win an Elephant Bib Holder
It’s dinner time. The witching hour. Tired, hungry kids are wallowing under your feet as you rush around the kitchen, trying to make sure everyone has what they need. You plop the baby in the high chair and reach for his bowl of mush pureed peas. Before you even get the spoon to his mouth,…
Dying for Mercy by Mary Jane Clark
I usually write book reviews over at 5 Minutes for Books (and I love that “job”), but this week I was offered a giveaway in honor of the release of Dying for Mercy: A Novel of Suspense by Mary Jane Clark, so I thought I’d feature it over here (At 5 Minutes for Books, we…
F-Secure Online Backup
Everyone has a story. Word documents accidentally deleted. Music files lost. Pictures and videos — gone. My story about losing some valuable things stored on my computer happened a couple years ago. My old laptop was getting bogged down in memory, so I bought an external hard drive and transferred all of my old pictures…
Hear the World!
It is a constant occurrence in my house — I will be asking my daughter to do something and she replies, “Huh?” Or I will be explaining something to my husband and he will look up and say, “Were you just talking to me?” It makes me wonder, are they just ignoring me or are…

A barrette for your bra? Sure, I use barrettes for my hair but why would I need a barrette for my bra??? Then I started thinking a little more about my my bra…and my tank tops….and my swimsuit! Of course I need a Bra Barrette! Like a barrette for your hair, the Bra Barrette is…
Hattie Rose Designs – where bibs become fashionable!
When both of my daughters were about 3 months old they started drooling like crazy. It seems like we had a solid 9 months of teething and that meant a solid 9 months of drooling! In an effort to keep their clothes from being drenched with drool I would typically keep a bib on them…
Ghostbusters: The Video Game
Can anyone even read that title without hearing the catchy 80′s techno-pop beat and asking, “Who ya gonna call?” The answer of course is “Ghostbusters!” I was so impressed when I read that the script of these video game adventures were written by the creators of the movie. Dan Akroyd and the other original Ghostbusters…
Energizer Would Like To Give You A Flip Ultra HD Video Camera
Growing up, my mom was a picture freak. We used to joke that the camera was merely an extension of her hand, which was not really far from the truth. Every moment of our lives were documented, forever immortalized on film (I know…film) and, while it kind of drove me nuts as a teenager, now…
