My husband first heard about this show at his work and we vowed then and there to take our son (hiding of course our secret desire to go too), luckily due to a generous Aunt (Thank you Auntie K.) we were given tickets for Christmas - we were on our way, we couldn't wait for January 1rst to come. It is to put it mildly a spectacular event! For those of you who haven't already...

It's probably a little more phone than I need, but I love my Sidekick LX regardless. After years of being with another cellular carrier I made the move to T Mobile so I could be a part of the shared family plan with my husband but mostly because I was so enamored of his Sidekick LX. To be fair to my old phone, it held a few more standard features than the Sidekick, but the Sidekick has...

  Here in California it is now illegal to drive a car while talking on your cell phone so the necessity for a bluetooth device became an inevitable device I would have to purchase. You would think this would be an easy thing to find considering the vast or array of bluetooth headsets out there, but I unfortunately have a problem with wearing things on my ears (i.e. sunglasses or headb...

My son is a little bit more than on the creative side, at 8 years of age his art work is already detailed and amazing. The one thing that is missing is the colors, he does mostly sketching which makes the artwork look unfinished and incomplete sometimes. So when he received a pack of Blendy Fusion Pens for his birthiday it seemed like a way to encourage him to add a little color to his wor...

All I can say is I wish I had found this product years ago. One of my biggest pet peeves was how dirty the grout on my counter top was, and anything and everything I tried never seemed to work. I was at the stage where I was considering letting a professional regrout it (this promised to be an expensive venture). Thankfully I took a good friends advice and gave my counters one last ch...

The difference between Guitar Hero and Rock Band is the addition of added instruments (Bass, Drum and Microphone) and it is a welcome one. I never actually took to Guitar Hero that much, but nightly with Rock Band we have family "Jam" sessions and I have to say we are getting pretty good. Rock Band has been a great bonding experience by allowing all members of the our family to p...

My biggest pet peeve in the household is the cleanliness of the bathrooms, most noticeably the toilets. I live in a house of men and getting them to put the toliet set up and down is a challange in and of itself, but when they continued to leave it up and I got to glimpse where they'd relieved themselves (more miss than hit, particularly with my 8 year old) I knew it was time to do somethin...

 My favorite Christmas gift ever was the gift of "Friends". I am now and have always been a huge fan of the TV show "Friends", so when my husband bought me the entire 10 set disc set I was to put it mildly a happy camper. The deluxe set comes with a great box, made of thick black plywood (very durable) with a great plexi-glass cover bearing a picture of my favorite...

  One of my biggest passions in life as a mom is the safety of my son. I know all moms, dads and grandparents would agree that a child's well-being is top on their parental list too.  We are always looking out for them and ways to keep them safe.  A top priority in that category is insuring the child themselves knows what to be aware of.  In our struggle to keep our chil...

What can I say....Santa knows me and he knows me well, which is why every Christmas he puts my favorite truffles in my Christmas stocking - Lindt Milk Chocolate with white filling. YUMMY! Don't get me wrong, I pretty much love all the Lindt Lindor Truffles but the milk chocolate with the smooth white filling is by far my favorite. I am a good girl all year long just to get them. L...

When I was younger and my hair started turning gray, my mom encouraged me to "Give into the gray" still that was easier said than done. I have nothing against getting older, nothing against letting nature take its course, but when nature hit at 18 years of age and gifted me with gray roots, it seemed just a bit unfair, and so the quest began to find the solution.  ...
