A great site for moms looking for fun activities at a fraction of the price (up to 70 percent off in some instances,) zozi.com is a group discount website where a certain number of people must sign up for a deal in order for the discount to be released. Activities on the site range from

Back to School means moms are always on the go, and it can be hard to remember to eat, much less eat the right foods on the go.  Grabbing a candy bar or a bag of chips may be an easy thing to do, but the sugar might make you crash later, or the salty snack might only satisfy your hunger for a little while.  Kellogg’sFiberPlus bars are a tasty solution to the on the go snacking dilemma.

Kellogg’s FiberPlus snack bars’ whole grain goodness, vitamins and minerals are

If you didn’t get a chance to see Despicable Me in the theater this summer you missed a surprisingly good movie.  If you have a “cheap theater” in your city that has movies that are shown after they’ve made their run in the main theaters, and it’s playing, stop by, I don’t think you’ll regret it.  If it passed you buy, be sure to rent or buy the DVD. 

As with most movies, there are usually video games that take the theme and run with them appropriate to their platform, and Despicable Me has one too; Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem (D3Publisher).  The game is available for Nintendo DS, Wii, PS2, and PSP.

By the way if you haven’t seen the movie, these minions are

So many schools have a dress code these days, and shoes aren’t an exception to the rules.  For safety reasons flip flops are often on the ‘do not wear’ list, and for good reason.  While comfortable and easy for young kids to get on and off by themselves, they aren’t the best for running and those little toes are exposed to the elements.  Let me share an alternative footwear choice; Sanuk.

I found Sanuk on the internet, and liked

In school I always struggled with Math, but excelled at Language Arts.  Perhaps that’s why I have numerophobia, but love words.  So Wordlock, a lock that uses words instead of numbers for combinations, is great for me!

Wordlock is really easy to use.  The Wordlock Padlock can only be opened with your combination.  To ensure maximum security there is no master combination.  To set your own combination on your padlock, you just

Lulu.com is a self publishing and book printing solution site.  The variety of material you can publish isnt’ limited to written books though, with Lulu.com you can also publish Ebooks, Photo Books and Calendars.

I like finding new companies that publish photo books, because I make a book of each of our vacations.  I want to be able not just to get a quality product, but also to feel confident using the online software to make the book.  I had the chance to create and publish a book at Lulu.com, and their online process is easy to use.

Not really a place most people would go to on their honeymoon, but you know we’re geeks, so Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum was on our list of things to see and do in Orlando on ours.  I have great memories of the strange, weird, fantastic and unbelievable attractions they house in that upside down building.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! newest book is ‘Enter If You Dare‘ highlighting strange stories from around the globe.

A coffee table book that is sure to draw attention, it’s filled with a mind-boggling array of incredible and bizarre facts, stories, interviews and features.

New showcases in this book include

My family and I are self professed geeks.  The “why” and the “how” behind the object or activity needs to be discovered.  So a book entitled, Cooking For Geeks is right up our alley.  Jeff Potter, speaks geek in this science book about the kitchen and your food, and not only do you not have to go back to school to learn and be surprised on nearly every page, it includes many tasty recipes too.

The book features seven chapters (with my opinion of chapter highlights below):

Summer is over and school’s back in, but that doesn’t mean your kids can’t continue having fun, and do some learning too.  National Geographic Kids has three new fun and educational books for your children; National Geographic Kids Almanac 2011, The Big Book of Fun and Weird But True!

Your kids will love the interesting facts inside these books, and they’ll be itching to

Most everyone has a digital camera these days, but there are still some of us who don’t have a smart phone or an iTouch to show off pictures of our vacation, children or new home.  Yet with a digital photo frame keychain, I can still show off my pictures, and in a compact way.

I received the Digital Photo Keychain & Keyring in pink from wholesalekeychain.com to review.

This 1.5 inch 128×128 LCD display, comes with
