So folks, that's it. It's Back-to-school time! Summer is finally over (boo-hoo) and school is now in session.

Jabra STONE Bluetooth Headset With Extreme Noise Blocking | Review & Giveaway
August 23, 2010 by 150 Comments
New York State has had a cellular phone law since December 2001 with a fine of $100 if a person is caught with a hand-held phone. I'll be honest with you and say I was one of those people who broke that law. But shhh, don't let anyone know, let it be our secret. ;) I'm glad to say that ever since I was sent a Jabra STONE Bluetooth Headset With Extreme Noise Blocking, I haven't broken any laws and life has been less on the edge and I feel safer driving with my blue tooth on my ear instead of … [Read more...]

MyBlogSpark and General Mills Sweet and Salty Review & Giveaway
May 30, 2010 by 92 Comments
My family and I love our snacks. After dinner, we like to have a sweet or salty snack to calm the savage beast within us (LOL). We can't help it. It's that time to relax, watch some TV and enjoy each other's company. But there are times when we have nothing to snack on so I'll drive to our local convenience store to get some much needed grub. When I'm at the store, I tend to browse all the aisles looking for that perfect snack, especially when I'm alone. Either I'm looking for something … [Read more...]

Simply… Go-Gurt Yogurt – Review & Giveaway
April 22, 2010 by
***GIVEAWAY ENDED*** Winner is CONGRATULATIONS DENISE!!!!!! Growing up, yogurt was not a staple in my house. Since my mom did not eat it, she didn't buy it. So since she didn't like it, she thought I wouldn't either. She was right - to an extent. The first time I tried it, I hated it. It was something I never wanted to eat again until I tried it in a smoothie. The smoothie was delicious with bananas, pineapple, strawberries, milk & of course, the star - strawberry flavored … [Read more...]
