Did you know that Staples have declared July 14th as the official day for back to school shopping? (I know it's August but life gets in the way of blogging sometimes ;)) Yes, you read that right.

July 30, 2010 by 1 Comment
Yesterday I attended an event at the Museum of Natural History for their media preview to showcase their newest and latest creation - The Explorer App for iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch.

How's that for helping the planet? ;) Earlier this year, the museum launched its first iPhone app - Dinosaurs: The American Museum of … [Read more...]

July 24, 2010 by Leave a Comment
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine. When I hear the word "wool" I think about the sweaters that were given to me during the holidays that were hot, heavy, itchy or most of the time, all three. I've had my share of wool sweaters that have collected dust in my closet and have gotten sent to the Salvation Army because I could not bear with the feel of the fabric. At this very moment, I don't own anything that is wool except for a coat … [Read more...]

July 22, 2010 by 6 Comments
(Note: Post is long with photos & video so please make sure to check those out! Thanks.) Waking up at 6 am is something I usually don't like doing in the summer.
