While our daughter was away for a few weeks we bought "N" Magnetix because they were on sale and because I'm tired of him playing with just Hot Wheels and Thomas The Train.  "The Hubby" and "N" sat on the living room floor for hours just making different things.  When it came time to put it some place we made sure to tell him that these DO NOT go anywhere near your face.

Since he's 5 and doesn't put stuff in his mouth I know that we are ... (read more)

We were able to find the Wii Fit on Craigslist a few weeks ago and we all put a profile on it.  It's a little above my five and three year old but it was worth a shot.  To begin first make sure that you have a Mii made and then you can add your Mii to the Fit profile, if you have friends coming over you can use Trial for them.  As you set up your profile, it asks you your height, age, how heavy your clothes are so it can take into account your weight.  To be able to graph ...

Normally I use the Spin Brush by Crest because I hated using a manual toothbrush since my teeth never felt clean and because I'm too cheap to buy the Sonicare.  "The Hubby" bought one about a month ago and I didn't care too much about it and never gave it a second thought.  A few weeks go by and he's still talking this thing up and so I finally go to the grocery store and it was on sale for $2.50, so I picked it up.

My mouth has never felt so clean, except for ... (read more)

American Standard has come out with a new item that does sound very interesting.  I haven't used it but if it's as good as they say it is, then good bye allergies and Flu.  From what I've read is that this will reduce allergens and particles in your home by 99.98%.  It sounds as though it has to be professionally installed in your home but it does come with a pretty good warranty.

It looks like it works so much better than our normal furnace / air conditioner air ... (read more)

I received this product from Symantec a few weeks ago, and have had a good chance to try it out.  Overall, I like the Norton 360 product.  It combines some of the standard security software I like with some software I didn't know I would like.  I had McAfee installed and removed it.  I wasn't sad to see it go.  I really didn't like McAfee, it didn't stop one virus from infecting my computer and I don't think it did much.

Norton 360 installation was pretty ... (read more)

Kellogg's sent me some samples of their Bliss bars and also a canvas Special K bag, I tried Orange and Raspberry chocolate dipped, my favorite was the Orange Bliss.  They are both good but raspberries are one of my least favorite fruit.  But they both were still very tasty.

I like the fact that they are like all of the other Special K bars in the fact that they are 90 calories for the .77oz size.  They are individually sealed and ... (read more)

I run this site (and a few others) from home.  Instead of using the home phone all of the time, I decided to get a different phone system installed for work.  After reading about what's available, I bought a Cisco 7960 phone and had an Asterisk / Trixbox server installed.  Then I signed up with Broadvoice for a phone number and phone service. 

For the first week, the service was great.  I always had the ability to make calls. 

And then it ... (read more)

I was provided a sample of both the Fresh Brush MAX and the Flushables by S.C. Johnson.  I am very picky about how my bathroom is cleaned and these are two of the products I really like.  I don't like to use toilet bowl brushes because I feel that even though you cleaned your toilet you didn't really didn't clean it because you put the bacteria back in when you reuse the brush. 

I like the Fresh Brush Flushables because you can just flush it down the toilet when ... (read more)

Do you have an animal that sheds like crazy and tired of seeing cat hair everywhere you look?  Tired of petting your animal and as you pet them the fur just sticks to your hand?   I hate that and my husband is allergic to cats and with us now owning a Persian medium haired cat I had to do something .  So before I took her to the groomer, I talked to one and they recommended this for all animals because with having kids, you want to help make your home as neat as you ...

I was sent an email asking me to take a look at this site/show called In The Motherhood and it starts Lea Remini, Jenny McCarthy and Chelsea Handler.  It's now in it's second season of webisodes and they are funny.  Suave and Sprint are the funding behind the show and it's cool because you can submit your funny stories about what has happened to you (kids throwing temper tantrums, etc) and if you're chosen then they will make your story ...
