To help parents conquer mealtime battles with picky eaters, Tyson Foods is dedicated to showing how finger foods, like Tyson® 100% All Natural Chicken Nuggets, can

Andie MacDowell, renowned actress and L’Oréal Paris spokeswoman, shares her tips for looking flawless after 50. 

In addition to wearing sunscreen, Andie uses Visible Lift Serum Absolute to keep signs of aging at bay: “It looks really natural. It makes your skin look luminous, not heavy like you’ve got a lot of makeup on.

Earlier this week Team Mom sent us a Scientific Explorer Kit.  Scientific Explorer has a number of Spa Kits that allow girls to make a beauty item while they learn about chemistry, physiology and physics.  The kit we received to review was the Bath Fizzer Kit.

A spa kit doesn’t always have to be “girlie” either, so if your daughter is a tomboy, she still may enjoy it because you can get a little messy while making the items.

With all the cuts that school systems are going through, the chances that your children will have the option to learn a second language before middle school or even high school are dwindling each day.

Pizza Hut is doing it again folks, it’s another fun promotional offer for their customers.

It’s fall, and that means FOOTBALL season has begun.  And what’s better to munch on after practice, or the big game (whether your playing, or just watching!) than pizza?  Well how about pizza and breadsticks?

Tuesday morning, while I was waiting for the plumber to arrive to cut up our garage ceiling which has a leak in it (totally other story, which I’ll tell some time), I decided to pass the time with the new book I received Puzzle Baron’s Logic Puzzles.  I’ve never been terribly good at logic puzzles, but tend to do better with word puzzles than number ones like Sudoku (have I mentioned I have numerphobia?!!).  In any event, I started with the first puzzle and after erasing it…twice…gave up but not in defeat, I just decided to test my brain on the next one.  And after some time (I didn’t check the clock, as I could have been doing laundry or cleaning my kitchen…), I came out victorious, and solved it!  What a rush.

Twelve photographers from across the country have just been named Category Finalists in the 2010 Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest with National Geographic. They are now one step
