eShakti Spring 2013 Product Review & a Special Promo Offer

eShakti has launched a new collection of Spring garments on their website. The great thing about the clothing available on eShakti.com is that you can choose the item you want and then customize it to fit your measurements. I chose a top to review in a neutral color with a black ribbon print on it. The blouse is full of ruffles and is so gorgeous for spring and summer.
Butterfinger’s 90ish Anniversary ~ Give Away

Our daughter loves Butterfingers, and it was a sad day in our home when she started orthodontic treatment that lasted almost 8 years in total where those crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery, chocolaty treats were off limits in her mouth. But 8 years is nothing compared to the 90(ish) years that the Butterfinger candy bar has actually been around!

Flowfold ~ Wallets from Waste Sailcloth

I’m both giddy and a bit anxious on attending my first blog conference in March. I’m going to Blissdom in Dallas, and am hoping to not only solidify some blog friendships that I’ve made online, but network with brands and PR as well. And to tell you the truth, I’ll feel a little bit like I’m back in grade school, back when we traded scratch & smell stickers and Pogs (have I aged myself yet) – but this time it will be with business cards.
Paska – a Traditional Easter Bread, Made Easy for Busy Moms

I grew up in a community that had a strong Mennonite/German population, many of whom immigrated from Eastern Europe. A staple traditional recipe in those homes at Easter time is Paska, which is a sweet bread.
My childhood best friend’s mom, made a loaf of Paska just for me each year. When we graduated from high school, a family friend took over when she found out how much I loved it. Then when I got married, my sister-in-law made it for me. And then we moved from Canada to the U.S. and my supply chain of Paska….stopped!
Move Over Pancakes, IHOP Has “Griddle Melts”
I may have mentioned a time or two on my blog that I ♥ Pancakes. So it’s probably no surprise that I ♥ IHOP too.
iTooch Elementary School App Review

Using the iPad or and iPhone/iTouch for education is such a great way for kids to have fun while learning. Many times they don’t even view it as “work” because of the way the apps present the material.
I recently had the chance to review the free app iTooch Elementary School on my iPad (you can use it on your iPhone/iTouch as well) and want to share a bit about it with you. iTooch is a cute little orange cartoon character that will help your child proceed through the app.
Alamo’s Pin Your Happy Place ~ Pinterest Give Away worth over $400!!

Who is completely over this winter?! ME TOO! It’s extremely bitter for me as we had thought we would have already sold our home and would be living in Texas by now.
I’m so looking forward to summer. If we still live here (which I hope not!), we’ll be taking a road trip up north to Canada to attend my niece’s wedding. It’s the first one of my nieces and nephews on my side of the family to get married.
New For Dummies Book Selection – iPad in Education

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I sort of have a thing an obsession with my Apple products.
I get a little giddy thinking about ALL the things these little powerhouse electronics can do for me. Then, I talk a little too much about it to people who probably could care less.
I’m sure though for every 10 people that tune me out, there is one that wants to know all the neat things I can do. And if they ask a question or two, I’m happy to go on for hours.
