Take kajeet back to school!
I’ve posted about kajeet before – and as one of their Mom Sales Team, I do think that it’s the best option out there for allowing kids to have the freedom of having a cell phone, but with the safeguards that we parents want and need to have in place. And all without costing and arm and a leg. My oldest daughter is already asking when she can have a phone – and while I do believe that she’s still too young at 8 years old, I know that her first phone (in due time) will be from kajeet. Now ...
Review: Dyson DC31 Handheld Vacuum
When we first moved into this house, one thing that we knew immediately was that the brand-new white carpeting in the living room and hallway definitely wouldn’t stay white. And it certainly hasn’t – between three kids, three cats and a husband who works outside most of the time, I’d call it more of a gray tone by now. At some point we’ll replace it, but for now it’s easier just to ignore the stains and just try to vacuum on a regular basis. Because our upright vacuum doesn’t work very well, and is heavy and bulky, I try to ...
Review: VTech DS6321-3 cordless phone system
I remember when I got my very first telephone – I was in high school and since my bedroom happened to be equipped with a phone jack (I think the previous owners used it as a sewing room), my mom finally told me that I could get a phone of my own to keep in there. Remember, this was long before cell phones – so having a land line phone in my room was the next best thing. It meant I could talk to my girl (and boy) friends in private, instead of in the middle of the kitchen. That ...
Join us on our bike riding adventures this summer with Schwinn!
One of my husband’s proudest moments as a father came the very first time our oldest daughter climbed onto her bike. Well, at that point it was a tricycle, but close enough. :) He struggled for years as she moved up to a bike with training wheels but didn’t enjoy riding it very much, and he tried very hard not to push her before she was ready (not always successfully, lol). In fact, it wasn’t until after our daughter had eye surgery last summer that she started to actually want to ride a bike – and by the end of ...
A Blogger in New York City…
So what does a blogger decide to do when set loose upon New York City for a couple of days? Well, sightsee of course. And take lots (and lots) of pictures. And maybe do a Whrrl story or two… I’d like to share some of the sights that I saw and thoughts that I had while exploring Manhattan with you – and will post more about The Jensen Project when the movie’s broadcast time gets closer. Just remember to tune in to NBC on July 16th at 8pm ET – and believe me, you won’t be disappointed! I am ...
Review: Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta
One of my favorite foods is spaghetti – and always has been. Not surprisingly then, it also happens to be one of my kids’ favorites too. :) We differ though on the types of noodles that we prefer – my husband and oldest daughter are fans of the traditional thin spaghetti noodle, where my 7-year-old and I much prefer the small shell pasta. My youngest doesn’t seem to have much of a preference herself (yet) but I would much rather she stick with the shells – since they seem to be a lot less messy and easier for her to ...
