Our Aunt took my oldest boy shopping for a present a while back and they returned with what looked like a really fun game to play. Elefun features four butterfly nets, a whole mess of “butterflies” and an elephant with a 4 foot trunk. You fill the trunk with the butterflies and turn on the [...]

You know you get what you pay for. I know you get what you pay for. Yet I was seduced by the gorgeous rich color of nail polish a coworker was wearing the other day. I asked her where she got it, and she told me she picked it up at the local mega-mart. I [...]

There is a lot to love about Jones Soda, from their dedication to delicious candy-riffic flavors, to their use of pure cane sugar in their drinks. But when I was recently popping over to their site to see what yummy craziness they might be brewing up for the up coming holidays, imagine my surprise wehn [...]

Last year after extensive dental work, my dentist convinced me to spend $129.95 at her office for a “dental recommended” electric toothbrush. Having used the Oral B Triumph with SmartGuide for just a few weeks, I feel like she should be turned into the ADA for her crap recommendation. The Oral B not only comes [...]

I’ve heard people rave about the new liquid bandages for quite some time, but had never tried it out until recently. Suddenly I got this callous on my thumb and at some point in time, I cut through it with some paperwork and it would not heal. It was just the callous, with a cut [...]

My family and I moved into a our first built home a year ago. Although it was nicely built and brand, spanking new, it had little color, zero decoration and desperately lacked style. So, for a year now, I have felt completely overwhelmed and uninspired to do anything about it until I received a copy [...]

I was offered the chance to try some mystery cookies. I love food, so I said yes, sign me up. The mystery cookies turned out to be from World of Grains and they sent me a sample of every flavor they make. The flavors are cranberry, blueberry, apple cinammon, oatmeal raisin and multigrain. World of [...]

They call it a Big Book for a reason and they call her the big “O” for a reason. Apparently, they needed to document all the things that make Oprah happy in one big book called “Oprah’s Big Book of Happiness.” It contains over 366 pages from O Magazine that includes wisdom, wit, advice, interviews [...]

I am one to get fired up when I am wronged, and this time I am beyond fuming mad. Like many Target shoppers last week, I ordered the Britax Marathon Car Seat in the sale color, Granite Grey. Target.com often marks down merchandise and offers free shipping so I was totally on board with the [...]

Stride Rite: You have a new fan. I hate buying baby shoes. There, I admitted it. They never fit the way they should. Lets face it, most kids have anatomically weird feet. They are either way wide, very thick or abnormally small, or a combination of the three. My kid has thick and small feet, so when [...]

Said to be a labor of love for Helen Hunt, the film “Then She Found Me,” lacked the sparkle I needed for it to be a blockbuster hit. It was based on Elinor Lipman’s 1990 novel by the same name and Hunt attempts to tackle issues that are too complicated for a first time director. [...]

I could not even get into this book and I love to read. So I passed it on to a friend, named Amy, who is a RN and who has worked with autistic children. She was recovering from surgery and very excited to read the book, at least before she read it. Here is Amy’s [...]

I’m back to work and with the lovely Atlanta commute I wanted to get some granola bars to stash in my purse to eat if I miss breakfast, or to otherwise snack on. I am also approaching the big 4-0 (ack it’s today!) and realized that I really should be aware of my body’s need [...]

Neutrogena, you got me again! Who works in your packaging and design department? A long time ago I bought the mineral powder that I found to be in the most unusable packaging known to man. It was impossible to get the powder up into the brush and I ended up throwing away that $12 mistake. My memory [...]
