Glade has come out with decorative glass holders for their scented oil candles, and I got to try one out!  These practical and highly scented candles make great gifts for birthdays or pick one up for a you or a friend ‘just because’.  I have to give a shout out to The Glade® Design and Shine™ Contest.  Glade is calling all fans to tap into their creative side by visiting www.gladedesignandshine.com today!

Play-Doh has always been a favorite pastime for the kids I know.  The pre-schoolers especially love to play with it.  And for all the years it’s been around, they keep coming up with new activities for the kids to enjoy.  A factory, decked out with a conveyor belt, cutters and stamps of all kinds, keeps the kids occupied for a good while.  Even those that have a shorter attention span!  Our pre-school tester had fun with the Play-Doh Mega Fun Factory on a Saturday afternoon.

Ooh diamonds.  Shiny and sparkly, and the desire of most every girl.  And decent sized ones…expensive too.

Being a budget conscious person myself, a set of large diamond earrings is not on the shopping list, but that doesn’t mean I can’t wear a pair that to the undiscerning eye looks quite like the real thing.

DiamondEarrings.Org has faux diamond earrings in a sterling silver setting.  While up close it’s apparent that these flashy gems aren’t real, unless someone’s taking an evidentiary scope out at your jewelry, from a few feet back, they’ll be thought of as the real deal.

We love showing off our vacation photos, and I have them displayed practically every way known to man.  I recently was able to create some gifts on Winkflash to show off some of our photos and it was a great experience.

OK, I know the leaves are turning colors but that doesn’t mean I can’t still be thinking about summer. Looking back here and noticed I never posted any pool pics.  And heaven knows we have in the past spent nearly everyday at the pool. In some places of the U.S. you would call it the “SPA”. Not because it’s anything spa-like, quite the opposite actually. It’s old and crowded but it has everything you would want in a pool. Including diving platforms which I do not gracefully play on.

The love for chocolate chip cookie dough is not a new fad, but the raw egg in most batters usually turns a stomach off .  When I had the opportunity for my family to try Bake Shoppe’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Miniatures, I knew I’d have my husband drooling with just the name!

Most families are well into the first month of school.  So how many of you are already struggling with what to put into the lunch boxes?  Well Santa Cruz Organic has some products for your ultimate organic lunch box solution.

Peanut Butter – This tasty spread is full of goodness and no added extras.  The Santa Cruz Organic® brand peanut butters are offered in both light and dark roasted, creamy and crunchy varieties.  They provide a really rich flavor of peanut to them.  You may be unaccustomed to the texture if you’re used to eating non-organic peanut butter.  Because there is nothing added to it, when you first open it, you will notice that the oils sit on top of the butter.  Making it spreadable is as easy as just mixing it up.  It is required that it be

A few days ago, my daughter Amber wrote a review on the book Vordak the Incomprehensible – How to Grow Up and Rule the World.  Well she got a chance to also interview Vordak – and so she asked him the following questions about being a Supervillain.

Amber: As stated in the first section of your book, on page 14, that I should NOT thoroughly read over your binding contract, being that this is a book about being evil I decided to read it over anyway. However, I do believe that not handing you leadership (by not signing this contract) would be more evil, because in the case of my untimely demise, the world would be thrown into chaos and disorder with no leader to guide their actions since the government has been undermined. Thoughts?
