Wow - lots of interest in the shredder. If you are not the winner and are in the market for a shredder, I do recommend the Fellowes PS-79Ci highly. It does cost a little more, but really is the quietest shredder I have ever used and the finger sensor is a must if you have children.Anywho....the winner is:Anonymous (with an e-mail starting RWF)An e-mail has been sent to him/her and if I do not ...

Have you been ghosted???
Liz over at This Full House created this blogging meme a couple of years ago and had a lot of fun with it. It's time time we all tapped into our inner-child and go and ghost someone! The rules are easy: (1) It's your turn to "ghost" three other bloggers. (2) Stop by their blogs and leave a comment on their latest post saying, "You've Just Been Ghosted -- Come Over and Grab A Puking ...
Smarter than your average bear…
On Saturday, Big J, Little J, and I headed off to the Milwaukee County Zoo for their annual trick-or-treat/Boo at the Zoo. We had a great time but missed seeing one of our favorite "friends".Zero the polar bear.See, Zero was playing with one of his toys a few weeks ago and wasn't watching where he was going. (Little J has this same problem with his Leapster.) Zero fell into the dry moat ...

It’s nothing unusual in our house.
I was at a lunch playdate with a friend the other day and her daughter was all excited about going to vote on November 4th. My friend started quizzing Little J about his enthusiasm (or lack there of) for the upcoming election.Little J seemed relatively unimpressed with the whole process and was not treating it like the once in a lifetime opportunity that my friend's daughter was. I could tell my ...

An Insider’s View
You may recall that a few months ago I was selected to be a BP Invigorate Insider. I was one of five bloggers who were chosen to visit BP's headquarters in Chicagoland and learn about their new blend of gasoline. As part of the promotion, I was given gas to try for the summer and asked to report back on what I found. Check out BP's Invigorate Insiders page to see what I discovered. (You have to ...
The New Fall Line-up
As excited as I am for a new season of my favorite shows (Lost, Gray's Anatomy), there has been a new line-up in TV that had me practically shaking in anticipation - PBS's new kid shows!I should preface this with a little explanation. We were always a Playhouse Disney family when Little J was younger. He did love his Wiggles and Mickey Mouse! As he got older, the shows didn't provide quite ...
Just when you thought the whole world was trying to be a bad influence on your kids…
Do you ever have those days where you feel like the whole world is against you raising a decent human being? Okay, I AM exaggerating a little - but just a little.I have been having quite a few days like that lately. Like this morning when we all overslept and I was trying desperately to get my hair and makeup done in time to make a meeting at work. I showered, got Little J into his clothes and ...
