Computers are our connection to everyone anymore it seems. I remember a friend of mine had a brand new HP laptop and within a month she was having issues with it. I thought she was going to shrivel up and die without her computer, LOL

I told her to always have a company in mind for PC support - one that she trusts, because computers can give the average person a ton of headaches. Even someone like me, who knows the basics of computers, can feel completely stressed out when things go wrong.

I am glad many of my readers have found my mini reviews helpful. I have been getting lots of emails telling me about how helpful my review on something was. Thanks!!

Remember, you can leave a comment here too. It's a nice way to get everyone involved in a discussion about a product or service and that can be very helpful!

Off o put the kids to bed and then watch a scary movie!

I found a gorgeous piece of baby furniture on BabyBox.com - It's a shame my youngest child is getting to the point where he doesn't need a crib anymore because I would so buy this:


I love how the side rails are low (but not too low) which makes changing a baby so much easier. This crib is beautiful. It would be a perfect start as an heirloom to use generation after generation.

Now I want another baby!!! I better go have more coffee so I can wake up, LOL

These are super cute! When trying to decide on bridesmaids gifts, why not pick something practical?

I've only been a bridesmaid 3 times but each time I was one, I got something from the bride that while thoughtful, wasn't anything I wound up using again, or wearing for that matter.

These would be great gifts for an outdoor wedding. My parents got married outside, at the Rose Garden in Pa. Bet my mom didn't have a cool gift like this for her bridesmaids!

OMG! Remember Noxzema? I used to use this stuff all.the.time! I just started using it again and I still love that tingly feeling my face gets after I wash with it!

Noxzema is affordable, effective, and a product that I trust. I have used this product for most of my life, and I will continue to use it - heck, I can't believe I forgot about it!

'GOP Joe' is the first flavor I tried. It's blend has a light to medium body, great flavor and it smells good!

I really did like this one. So much, I brewed a pot after dinner! Now, tomorrow I'll have to give the other flavor a try, even though I'd really love to have this one again!

I caved and got a Hamilton Beach Proctor Silex Easy Slice electric knife because I figured I could use it to carve the turkey this Thanksgiving. Then, I found out CJ has a trip to his dad's planned. Oh well...I'll get lots of use out of it I'm sure. I tried it already!

I like that its quick and really easy to assemble and use. The only thing you need to wash are the blades. So far, I am loving this thing.

I mentioned in another blog of mine that I have been asked to help plan a Winter wedding. I have been all over the internet searching for ideas in wedding planning. Somehow, I stumbled upon the article about when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married. She looks so innocent in the picture of the two of them - it's a shame he's such a nut!

I found these wedding favors on the American Bridal website and I can't seem to decide which I like best! There is a whole section of 'Winter' wedding favors to choose from! I hate having to make such a decision, especially when there are so many beautiful choices!

I finally got the first shipment of my coffee of the month gift! I will definitely be taking my first sips tomorrow morning!

I know this photo is really poor - sorry! I'll get a better one tomorrow and give a review of my first sip!

Recently, a friend of mine was handfasted. (A handfasting is a Pagan ceremony the equivalent to a wedding.) I met Chrissie on Myspace and I am so happy for her! Anyway, the most fun she had planning her handfasting was picking out their wedding bands.

So of course I got sucked into browsing the internet for wedding jewelry. I love 'net' shopping! I came across a site that had these gorgeous mens wedding bands and I must say, things have come a long way from the traditional gold wedding band.

Here's an example of what I am referring to:


Gorgeous, huh? Black Titanium with 18K White Gold. I am LOVING this ring. Now, if I could only convince CJ t get hitched!

Airborne is the name of those tablets that look like vitamin C tablets but are bigger.

Airborne was created by a Victoria Knight-McDowell, a second grade teacher who says she always brought home viruses from her students. It is supposed to be an herbal supplement that helps prevent colds and flu.

I know many people who take this as soon as they think they are beginning to feel a cold coming on. Many people take this who are traveling, since they're in close quarters with so many others, like on a plane, for instance.

My mother-in-law feels they work well. I have to disagree. I never saw a difference form how I felt or whether I was getting better than before I took. In my opinion, honey, lemon, and tea help much more than Airborne. I personally think it is a wast of money. Walmart carries it for about 4.99 but I have seen it advertised for about 5.99.

It's up to you buut I say don't waste your money!

I am an online shopper. There, I said it. Recently my husband and I took the kids shopping for Fall/Winter clothes and event though that outing wasn't too bad, it still solidified my belief in online shopping.

So, this morning I got my usual cup of coffee - well, no actually, my ex-husband brought me coffee from Dunkin' Donuts - I love him (for that) hahaha - and after the morning chaos died down I began my online ritual. I came across a website that had the coolest baby clothes for all seasons. Not just clothes but shoes and accessories too! Hey, kids have to look good even when they're playing, right?

Sandbox Couture has it all. Believe me, you'll get lost navigating through this site because there are so many awesome outfits, for boys and girls alike. I am really impressed with the uniqueness of many of the outfits!

Okay, I tried to drink my morning coffee using fat free half & half and Splenda and ICK - no way will I do that again.
Maybe once I start getting my gourmet flavored coffees I can try that again but not with regular coffee! If the worst thing I have all day is Coffee Mate and sugar, well then so be it!

I recently started going to the gym again and I am trying to eat, differently. In fact, sugar is a weakness of mine - I use too much of it. I am trying to use less, especially in my coffee. I'd like to eventually not use any at all.

What's a good (read=healthier) way to drink coffee? Forget plain and I do need some cream. Land O Lakes has a good fat free gourmet half and half that may be good. CJ got flavored coffee for me so maybe between that and the creamer I'll be fine.

Ideas?

I had always heard good things about Robeez infant/toddler shoes but I just couldn't see spending the money for shoes that my children would outgrow so quickly.

I am happy to say I am quite glad I broke down and bought a pair for Wyatt! The Robeez shoes, are soft soled leather shoes, which are very comfortable for him. No more slipping and sliding on the kitchen floor either!

Robeez shoes come in various colors, patterns, and designs for both boys and girls. The are durable and washable, which is definitely another plus! They run in size from 0-6 months to 3-4 years.

I got a cool guitar pattern for my son, as his daddy builds custom guitars.

I highly recommend these shoes for little ones.

Even though this blog is so new, Henry Kay, from 'Quest For Individuality' has already awarded me with the 'I Love your Blog' award!

Thanks, Henry!

I know a few bloggers who should have this award and so I am passing it on to:

Pass on the award!

Looks like this weekend is going to be beautiful - weather wise! Temperatures in the 70's and sunny! This means the boys get to play outside, which they love! Why wouldn't they, look at the play set CJ and I built!

I turned 35 on September 30th. It was a really nice day.
My friend, Shannon got me some cool gifts. The coffee mug says "Witch's Brew" - I know it's kinda hard to tell in the photo. There's a fairy cell phone holder and some Godiva chocolate!

CJ got the coffee of the month club, where I will get 2 different flavored gourmet coffees every month for a year! That is awesome!
