Those of you who have been with me for a while will remember that we had a bit of a scare with LJ last year that resulted in a ride to Children's Hospital via ambulance and a follow up appointment with a pediatric cardiologist. Luckily, it turned out to be a minor issue, but resulted in a prescription for more water everyday for LJ.Turns out that being even a little dehydrated can ...
Skincare Shopping at Walmart #cbias
My skin changes with the weather - literally. I've found that in the summer months, I need something a little stronger to keep the oil and breakouts at bay. Once the weather turns colder and dryer, I need a much gentler system or my skin get dull and dry.No matter which system I am using, I decided that it would work even better with a great applicator. I'd heard great things about the ...
Budgeting with the American Express Prepaid Card
I am pretty good about sticking to a budget. Whether it's my household budget or my business, I strive to enter receipts and spending in a timely manner and keep an eye on bank balances. This becomes a bit more challenging when I'm travelling, both for pleasure or business. Between those little snacks you grab, the much needed coffee, and other various expenses that come up, you can burn through ...
Brother P-Touch: The Test
I was recently selected to take part in the Brother P-Touch ambassador program through Mom Central. I'll be completing a home office make-over where I will be using the Brother P-Touch labeling system to help me get much more organized.Before kicking off the office make-over, the folks at Brother wanted me to experience how durable their labels really are. They sent me a very official looking ...
Motorola Xoom: One very cool feature…
As I promised in my last post, I am going to talk about what I think is one of the coolest features on the Motorola Xoom (at least that I have discovered so far). Now, I'm not saying that this is the ONLY cool feature - there are lots! I will be showing many of them to you over the next six months.Warning: Those of you with Verizon wireless service and/or the very tech inclined probably know ...
Meet My Motorola Xoom! #MidwestMoms
Last month, I was contacted by Verizon Wireless and asked to be part of their Midwest Moms program. For being part of Midwest Moms, I was given a Motorola Xoom tablet, six months of wireless service, and a super secret yet-to-be-rolled-out smart phone which I will get next month. Not bad, huh?The group was brought down to Chicago and given a one day introduction to the Xoom and all things ...
Luggage Shopping with Briggs and Riley’s BRX Line #brxtravelgear
We tend to go through luggage pretty quickly around here, at least that's been our MO up until now. Waaaay back when Jay and I were doing the long distance dating thing (from NH to WI) we both went through several bags in a few years. I should probably say that the AIRLINES went through the bags, as most of the damage took place while the bags were out of our sight!We bought some new bags and ...
Stuff for Students: WMXY’s Kidd and Elizabeth Help Local Students
photo courtesyof 99wmyx.com Generally speaking, I am NOT a morning person. It can take me a good half hour and several cups of coffee before I feel like carrying on any kind of conversation. Forget getting anything intelligent or humorous out of me until closer to lunch!That's one of the reasons I have such great respect for folks who can not only get up at dark o'clock in the morning, but also ...
My Time with the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid
I had the opportunity to drive the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid for a while last week and pretty much fell in love with it. When it was dropped off at my house, my first impression was that it was very expensive and classy looking. The sleek silhouette and gorgeous wood trimmed interior give it the feel of a very high-end car before you even turn it on. Once I turned it on, the first thing ...
How the Moby Personal Location Security App Can Make Your Life Easier
If you are interested in broadcasting your location to tons of friends and followers, there are an ever increasing number of apps that will let you do just that. I jokingly tell my husband to check Foursquare if he is not sure where I am.But what if you want to keep an eye on where the kids are without them announcing it to the whole online world? There really wasn't much offered on that front ...
The Bathroom is Done! #gliddentesters
So the bathroom is finally done and I did wind up going with the sage green paint. I love the look and am so glad I took the color leap! Having the Glidden tester made it easier for me to to envision what the end result would look like and gave me the confidence to just go for it.Since I hadn't done any serious painting since before LJ was born (that's over seven years!), I had forgotten a few ...
