I spend a lot of my day with headphones on.  Listening to music while working by day and having them on while I game at night (yes, for those of you who don’t know I have a secret life where I play World of Warcraft for hours on end).  Problem is sometimes I forget I have them on and try and walk away from my computer and ‘YANK,’ I stumble across the floor, or rip the USB plug out or I roll my chair over the cords.  You’d think that after a time or two I’d remember, but sometimes I can be a slow learner.  I have had more pairs of headphones than I care to admit.

It’s that time of the year when we make New Year’s Resolutions.  A wise person once told me, don’t make any resolutions you can’t keep.  So I decided to make a resolution that I would not eat Sardines this year… Ha!  No but really, now that I’m in my 40s I realize that I need to take better care of myself, especially my heart.

Americans’ love affair with their cars is well documented, along with the dollars they spend each year to keep them running.  This is particularly evident in the winter time when the harsh elements can challenge even the most conscientious car owners.  One thing’s for sure:  Keeping your vehicle in good condition will ensure a safer ride in the short term and a higher resale or trade-in value down the road.

So, before the cold weather takes hold for good, we’ve included the following tips to help you and your vehicles weather just about any storm!

JORD (pronounced Yode which is Swedish for ‘earth, soil & land’) watches don’t just tell time, they are truly works of art.  I know many people (myself included), have stopped wearing watches because of smartphones, but JORD watches aren’t only time pieces they’re fashion accessories (practical ones I might add!).

In this case, the cliché is also true in that “the accessories make the outfit” because ever since I received my JORD watch and started wearing it, people have been stopping me and asking where I got my beautiful watch.

Well I’ve finished my shopping for my family for Christmas this year.  I did cut it down pretty close to the wire with one delivery coming late last week yet, but the gifts are all wrapped and ready for tomorrow.  Yes we open our gifts Christmas Eve, it’s a German tradition that both our families grew up with and really when you’ve always opened presents Christmas Eve, who wants to wait until Christmas Day?!  Well not us anyway…but I digress.

Inevitably there will be someone who didn’t know what to get me and I’ll get some money to buy what I want, and I always try and cash in on the post Christmas sales for that.

The newest product added to my list of favorite kitchen items is the BakeitFun Baking Mat.  I received the baking mat at no cost for purposes of this review.

One of the companies that I connected with at the Moms Meet WOW Summit last month in Orlando was That’s How We Roll.

That’s How We Roll is a small business that started in New Jersey about 2 years go.  They have since grown leaps and bounds and now have two brands – Party-Tizers Dippin’ Chips™ and Mrs. Thinster’s Cookie Thins™.  You may have already seen their packages in most major grocery chains in the deli section.

For 2015 the all-new F-150 is completely redesigned – establishing a new standard for full-size pickups by bringing together improved capability and efficiency, along with cutting-edge smart vehicle technology.

The scope of innovation reaches beyond the truck’s overall design with a new approach to how it is built, which Ford’s “Building the Future of Tough” video illustrates. 

Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch break during your Christmas shopping or anticipating the need to be a little lighter on your wallet once the shopping is done ,  one of the best lunch deals in town right now has got to be at Macaroni Grill’s Romano’s Kitchen Counter.  If you’re looking for ways to save time and money, that’s where you’re going to find it.

Restaurant outings can be expensive, but Roman’s Kitchen Counter wants to show you that it doesn’t have to be!  Serving between the hours of 11 AM to 4 PM at Macaroni Grill locations, Romano’s Kitchen Counter offers $7 Menu items delivered in just 7 minutes…or it’s free! 

If you are looking for some high end home theater equipment, Best Buy just may be your next stop, at least in the Dallas/Ft Worth area.  Just in time for holiday shopping, an upgrade to some Best Buys is their Magnolia Design Center.  We visited the new completed location on Cyber Monday in Frisco, TX and to say we were impressed is an understatement.
