Last week I was invited to an event that was sponsored by Ragu® pasta sauce for their "Feed Your Kids Well - Recipe For A Good Start" campaign.

Last Sunday, I joined other bloggers to preview the new HP Photosmart Web Printer. It was a very intimate blogger's event that showcased the newest member of the HP family.

In every corner, I saw “toy” bags filled with fake gifts that were labeled Naughty or Nice to represent the games that were on … [Read more...]
