Chupa Chups Give a Dam App {#Review}
James got an iPod Touch for his birthday this year and he asks to download a new game every chance he gets! I don't often pay for apps because I am afraid he won't like it and I'll have wasted my money. Additionally, I don't like to purchase games that don't have some educational value. Chupa Chups has recently released a new app game ... Read More about Chupa Chups Give a Dam App {#Review}

Wordless Wednesday
Four years ago, my baby was born! Colin was born on 11/4 after 2 hours of labor. (I opted for a natural water birth - if you really wanted to know.) Giving birth on Election Day is the way to go - we didn't have to watch all the returns! We were home before midnight with our new bundle of joy! Today he is a spunky kid with ...

I have pretty oily skin - especially my face. So when I was asked if I wanted to review Elizabeth Grant's Vitamin C Nourishing Face Oil, I was a little leery! I mean, why would I want to add oil to my already oily face. But I gave it a shot, after all, what did I have to lose? My Thoughts: I use one pump - I ...

FRIENDS Trivia Challenge {#Giveaway} CLOSED
When Larry and I were newlyweds, he worked a swing shift (2-10pm) in the Army. I'd come home from work between 5 and 6pm, eat dinner and flip on the TV. I could always find Friends reruns on - they were my favorite!! It was such an awesome series. And now, Warner Bros. is working on the release of Friends: The Complete ...
