North Star Games the makers of Say Anything, Wits & Wagers and Crappy Birthday are looking for fans to come up with fun questions for those games and submit them on their Facebook page. Because their games are so simple, even if you have never played them before, you can still easily come up with questions for them.

The contest starts today and will run for two weeks.

I am one of those strange people that actually “like” doing laundry.  I say that a bit tongue and cheek, because quite obviously if I didn’t have to do it I wouldn’t.  But even with the never ending cycle of clothes going in and clothes going out of the laundry room, I don’t actually mind doing it.  Of course, that could be because there are only three of us in the house…I can’t imagine what my mom or mother-in-law did with four and five kids respectively, and without even all the conveniences I have at my disposal to clean our clothes!

Now, chocolate lovers all over the nation have a reason to celebrate!  Hershey’s Simple Pleasures Chocolates is a new delicious line of chocolates with 30% less fat compared to the average of the leading milk chocolates.  They are individually wrapped for easy portion control, making them the perfect afternoon sweet snack.

As you know we have cruised a lot.  We NEVER get on the ship without motion sickness pills.  NEVER…LOL.  I got this press release in my in box, and since it fits well with my blog content (traveling + cruises + giveaway = my blog content…), I thought

Take a look at 9 water toys for your kids to stay cool this summer.

When Amber was little we did a lot of bike riding.  I had one of those trailers that attached to the rear of my bike and we would go riding pretty much everywhere; to the grocery store, Starbucks, my mom’s place.  Those are good memories!

To celebrate the summer and encourage everyone to get out and ride with their friends, Schwinn is hosting a promotion on Facebook and on SchwinnBikes.com called Ride Of A Lifetime.

Being the only member of my family living in the US, I spend a lot of time at the post office.

I didn’t want to let birthdays and holidays slip by without gifts for my nephews, but mailing things for each occasion separately started becoming costly.  It’s the same for them.  In order to mail packages to us it is terribly expensive. 

Fairy tales never grow old.  They can be retold a thousand times and there is always another way to tell them.  As of late, the big screen have been showing many more ‘live action’ versions of our favorites, and many of them with a bit darker of a twist than the animated versions usually offer.

Just take a hike….with these adorable glamping (glamour + camping) items.  Another Wanelo collection that I pinned a bunch of things from and wanted to share.
