I’ve only recently entered into the world of smart phones this year. Prior to getting it in February I had an old phone that I think could send and receive texts…but I didn’t have a clue how to do either with it. We first got that phone when our daughter started Kindergarten so that the school could get a hold of me in case of emergency and I was not at home. I think cell phones in general are feel like some sort of a safety net for Moms as a link to their children when they can’t be with them. And now I’m going to share an app and service that will keep important messages,

Halloween = candy, candy and more candy.  And that’s really just the start of the season, because then comes Christmas and Valentines and Easter…and then we get a break again…until Halloween and the cycle begins again!

When I was a kid I had a friend whose father was a dentist.  We knew every year that when we trick-or-treated at her door that we’d get a toothbrush in our bag! 

I’ll admit, I don’t always choose the healthiest snack options.  But I am a snack fan, and I know that with as often as I do snack, I should be looking at healthier alternatives. 

I recently got to check out some of the awesome varieties of Smartfood Selects (All Natural Snacks) thanks to BzzAgent as part of the SMARTFOOD Selects BzzCampaign

Be a part of the BIG celebration! In honor of the Clifford the Big Red Dog’s 50^th anniversary, Scholastic is offering kids and families two BIG ways to participate:

Clifford’s BIGGEST Birthday Card Campaign:
Kids, grown ups and teachers can go to www.scholastic.com/clifford/birthday to create their very own personalized birthday card to send to Clifford!

I’ve always been a frugal shopper; clipping coupons, shopping sales – if friends or family want something for the best price, I’m usually one of the first people they come to asking where they can score a deal on what they’re looking for.  The rising cost of, well pretty much everything, has me checking out resources on where to save a bit more here, and get a little bit more income there.

Blogging is actually fairly new to me, I’ve been doing it for 4 1/2 years, but before that back in the early 2000’s I was all over the internet,

When we lived in the same city as my in-laws we spent almost every Sunday together eating lunch after church. Sunday dinner was one of those meals where you didn’t count calories. It also meant making memories, because after the food was eaten and the dishes were moved back to the kitchen, it was game playing time…this was important, because it’s what lead to dessert .

Bitsy’s Brainfood introduces the world’s first smart snack for kids. Designed as delicious treats to nurture kids’ bodies, minds and imaginations, Bitsy’s Brainfood is a tasty and nutritious snack that provides healthy and wholesome ingredients in appealing flavor combinations. Bitsy’s Brainfood encourages children to crave the right foods and makes learning fun with letter shaped cookies and a collectible sticker from Bitsy’s wacky superfood alphabet characters included in each box.

I have had the privilege over the past couple of years, to work with PartyLite on my blog and feature their products. I’m sure a lot of you have been to home parties for a friend or relative, enjoyed an evening of fun and seeing what new things that PartyLite had to offer that season. Today I’m going to share some of the items they have for decorating to add some autumn accents to your home that will make it fun to add a festive touch.

A while ago I told you about the new Hasbro Monopoly zAPPed game. We have so much fun playing that version of Monopoly in our home.

To play Hasbro’s zAPPed games you need an iPad. The games themselves sold in retail stores, have all the other items you’ll need, and then of course you need to download an app from the iTunes store (which are free).

With the nights getting darker and a chill in the air—the stage is being set for one of the most festive seasons of the year. Autumn brings us Halloween and Thanksgiving. Comfort foods abound, and pumpkins, apples, gingerbread, and spices permeate our senses with tastes, sights and scents.

Kraft Foods loves this time of year too, and they wanted to help me get in the spirit of the season with some Kraft Foods favorites and a few brand new products.
