I grew up playing Uno. In fact, I remember sitting on the "big rock" at the end of my best friend's driveway and playing for literally hours on end. It's a game I enjoyed as a kid and now enjoy playing with my kid! (Did you know that Uno is turning FORTY this year? Seriously!)You'd think that they wouldn't be able to improve on an old classic like Uno, but you'd be wrong! Uno Roboto keeps all ...
How to Protect Your Family During Cold and Flu Season (guest post by Zarbees)
My family discovered Zarbee's a few years ago. I don't even remember how we learned about it, but at the time it was only available online. We bought a bunch and used it all winter with great results. Now we conveniently pick it up at our local Walgreens and it has become a main part of our winter cold and flu arsenal. I'm thrilled to have Zarbee's providing today's guest post! Doctor’s ...
Harry Potter Movie Night with Pretzel Wands and Butterbeer
Ever since our trip to Universal Studios last year, LJ has been a huge Harry Potter fan. We have managed to collect most of the Harry Potter movies, but one was missing.... I was offered the chance to shop for the missing movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I was glad that I would be shopping for the DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital Copy since we wind up watching our favorite movies on a ...

Whirlpool Makes Water a Treat
We go through lots of filtered water here. Between the filtered water I use for cooking, drinking, and putting in the humidifier, I would imagine that we use over five gallons a day. Our water comes from a town well and is very hard in addition to being chlorinated and does not taste very good on its own.The last time we replaced our refrigerator, I insisted that we get one with an in-door water ...
Honor a Veteran with a Stars and Stripes Honor Flight
My grandfather was a World War II veteran. I don't know a lot about his time in the service as he never talked about it. I do know that he was haunted by his experiences there and would jump at any sudden loud noise and often woke with a start if I tried to rouse him from a nap in his favorite chair. I have a very vivid memory of attending a bi-centennial celebration in 1976 at Fort Griswold ...

How To Create A Wireless Hotspot
There are times when a good WIFI connection is just not available (or is expensive). I was recently at a conference in Chicago where the WIFI was not working well and I was able to provide service not only for myself, but to other attendees at my table. I also utilized this feature when I was back at my hotel which wanted to charge over $15 a day for wireless internet access. Creating your own ...
Chicago Toy and Game Fair (discount coupon)
When I was a kid, one of my favorite things about the holidays was toys. Not getting toys necessarily (although it was an added bonus), but I just loved seeing the ads for new toys, looking at them in the stores, and dreaming about what Santa might leave me under the tree.Then you grow up and hit that age where toys don't hold the same magical power for you. Until you have kids of your own - ...
My Motorola Bionic in Pictures…#MidwestMoms
At the beginning of the month, the folks at Motorola and Verizon Wireless sent me a Droid Bionic to take for a test drive as part of the Midwest Moms program. As someone who has used an iPhone for the past two years, I was eager to take a look at the differences between the iPhone and the Droid. One of the first features I checked out was the camera. The Motorola Bionic boasts an 8 megapixel ...
Everything I Needed to Know About Social Media I Learned From the Pizza Delivery Guy
Earlier this week, I attended the Social Media Master's Summit in Chicago. The opening speaker on the second day was a gentleman who owns six Domino's Pizza stores in the Chicago area. Not being from Chicago, I had no idea who this guy was or why he was speaking at the summit.Within minutes of taking the mic, he made it clear why he was speaking. Not only is Ramon DeLeon an incredibly dynamic ...
Our Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure House Party for Wii
This past weekend, we had the opportunity to try out a new Wii game for kids - Skylanders Spyro's Adventure. Since we knew nothing about it, we decided to open it up and get acquainted with the ins and outs of the game before the actual party day. There's nothing worse than having a bunch of kids anxious to play while the adults try and figure out what is going on.Turns out that we had nothing ...
