I bought The Match for my husband as a stocking stuffer for Christmas.  The Match is an electronic fire starter.  Okay, it's a lighter you use to light BBQ or fireplace fires.This device is pretty ingenious in design.  It looks like a match.  A big match because it's 14 inches long.The Match has an electronic ignition system so there are no flints to change or worry ...

This is definatly the best footy I've owned, and when you know that the AFL stars are using the same ball, you know its a good football. I went out on the search for a new sherrin, and when speaking to the assistent, he said that this was proven to be the best ball going around. And so far after using it well over 1000 times it seems like, I haven't looked back. This ball does not seem ...

LL Bean has some of the greatest bedding that I have had the oppurtunity to sleep in. Right from the beginning, when choosing the bedding you are able to decide from stripes, solids, plaids and prints - from pillowcases, sheets, and the comforter! I loved this, and it took me a couple days to decide on the final product - In the picture you can see the comforter I had chosen! The best part of i...

Ok, this pretty much sucks as a badminton racket. Its shaft is made of high tempered steel, if you know anything about badminton, that's like making it out of a ton of bricks. I mean, it's reasonable as a beginner racket where it will feel lighter than other types of raquets such as for tennis or raquet ball but it's still pretty heavy. I sometimes used it for training so that when ...

The rest of it is the writing prompts. These are great for any writer who has writer's block. They help to start a writer to write the beginning of a scene or to continue when I am stuck. This is wonderful ...

Spring is here and summer is right around the corner and the weather is warming up.  This means its time to lighten up on the layers of clothing!  I found some great warm weather pajamas for my two year old daughter at Target.  They are the Just One Year brand, which is a division of Carter's, so they can be found at many stores.  For $12.99 I got two pair...

I've had hundreds of footy's growing up as a traditional AFL lover, and this footy tops them all. The Sherrin is used by the AFL in their official matches, which really does speak enough for the quality of the ball. The ball is guarenteed to give you and your mates hours of fun out on an oval. This also makes the perfect present for a teenager or even an adult, and really does want you ...

When I first started at my last job, one of my many duties was to transport patients to doctors appointments.  Very quickly I learned that I did NOT want to wear my normal clothes!  They got all sorts of bodily fluids on them (I won't even go into that...yuck!) not to mention grease, dirt, and who knows what else.After I ruined several clothing items, I requested to wear scrubs li...

L'OREAL is one of those product names that is synonomous with cosmetics.  The company and its products have evolved to cater to the needs of generations of women.  I am pleased to say that I use their entire product line and it just gets better with each product.  I love to wear make up, but hate having to touch up during the day.  So generally, if I find a product that ...

Aside from doing the household chores, I am personally tutoring my kids. When my boy reaches 3 I started introducing him with some basic things he needs to learn in preparation for his schooling. I want him to feel at home in school and have fun learning. We do some oral studies on counting numbers and singing the ABC. On other topics I need to introduce to him, I rely on working/activity books...

I am normally a safe driver but has wrong calculation on my right side (not when I am driving, but when I am parking) that I scratched my SUV twice already in a year. Would you believe? I scratched the SUV on the right side at our electronic gate and always on the right side.So, for fear that my husband might find out and never let me drive again, I went to Ace Hardware and searched for those s...

I was recently chosen to be a bridesmaid in my college friend's wedding. To be honest, I was hoping not to be asked. Being a bridesmaid can be such a time-consuming, expensive, thankless job. It's something I really only want to do for my closest friends. Usually you end up spending hundreds of dollars on an ugly dress you will never wear again. So imagine my joy and surprise when ...

Being the mother of an " 8 and 3/4 and a half" year old (as my son will tell you), I have discovered that there is nothing more important to life than the WWE...  We could easily live without air or water as long as some form of wrestling is on television at least 4 times a week with reruns on Saturdays and Sundays - no, it doesn't matter that they are in Spanish, what matter...

My son received Elmo's Animal Mix & Match as a gift from his aunt.  This book is authored by Carol Monica and Joe Mathieu.  It was published in February 2008 and is 12 pages long.  It is recommend for children ages 4 - 8.  My son is 2 1/2 and he loves this book so much.  In fact, we have to read it every night over and over. Each page of Elmo's Animal ...

It's the weirdest combination...characters from the Final Fantasy RPG video game series, and classic Disney characters...but somehow it works!  This game is incredible.  It has everything you love about Final Fantasy: the immersive story, the incredible graphics, and even the somewhat hokey dialogue.  PLUS it has the charming addition of endearing Disney characters like Micke...

I looked everywhere for a FUN way for my son to practice his letters when he was in K-4.  Finally, after months of searching, I located this game at AbraKIDabra Toys, an educational toy store in our town.  The game is brightly colored and comes with thick cardboard tiles with letters on them, and decorated 3 x 5 cards with the appropriate letters spelling out a word that descibes the ...

If you have ever tried a chocolate orange, orange sticks are very similar in taste.  The biggest difference is the orange is a jelly substance wrapped in delicious milk or dark chocolate.  I first tried these candies at a young age when my mom received a box for Christmas.  These irrestible sticks had us hooked.  Soon after that box was devoured, we had to find more.  W...

Epic. It is word that is used far too often in video games. However every few years a game comes along that truly fits the description and will leave you feeling like you actually took part in something epic. Eternal Sonata is one of these games.  Eternal Sonata takes place takes place in a colorful, whimsical world that is all contained within a fevered dream of Frederic Chopin on Octo...

I love the Lands End Mix and Match Separate swimsuits. They have been a lifesaver over the last several years. They are perfect for the "Mom on the Go"...and really cover all those bumps and lumps that I've acquired since having a child. The beauty of the Swim Mini is the skirt, which gives a little extra coverage and provides the necessary modesty for those times you need to bend...

I have been collecting Hummels since I was first married and I received my very first piece from my mother.  Every few years my husband and I add a piece.   It can be a small sculpture costing very little or something very special.  These 2 Hummel/Disney pieces are the favorite of our collection and we feel each piece represents one of us.  ...
