Being a blogger, one might think that I am all up to date with the latest technology. Well, while it is partially true, the area that I have not been tech savvy in has been with smartphones. I still have my old, trusty cell phone that makes and receives calls. It has a camera (not a very good one) and will text, but I am extremely slow with it. While even my dad and mom have moved into … [Read more...]
I can't believe that it's that time again, tax season. I can't say that it is my favorite time of the year, but it is necessary. As a blogger, I have to round up all my receipts from the year and figure out how to claim it all. We have a desk in the basement where we store all of our personal and blogging stuff for the year. It is also my husband's retreat for when he wants to get on the … [Read more...]
As I look back on 2011 I am amazed at how much my blog has grown. I have had amazing opportunities this year that I am still pinching myself asking if it really happened. Between several blog trips, a TV appearance, and some amazing product reviews this year has been the best blogging year that I have ever had. I wanted to pay homage to 2011 by highlighting the best products and experiences … [Read more...]
I get a lot of packages when I am reviewing products. A few years ago I bet FedEx, UPS, and USPS barely knew my name and address. Now I know they know where I live, and probably cringe knowing that if they have a large package that makes a lot of noise, my very large dog will go ballistic on them! I used to love it when the delivery people would drop off a package. When I was really … [Read more...]

I have exactly a half of an hour to write this post to say farewell to 2010. 2010 was a year that I will remember for a long time. The year started out wonderful. My brother and sister in law just got back from Africa with their newly adopted son. He is just 9 months older than TJ and I know that they will be the best of friends. We had the best holiday celebrations with TJ enjoying … [Read more...]
Well, some of you might have got a false malware message when you visited last week. I had a hacker who put in a false code to scare people into thinking they were getting a virus when first visiting my site. I have since fixed the problem. It apparently was an issue with GoDaddy hosting so I will be looking into switching hosts here soon. We have began accepting submissions for our 2010 … [Read more...]
My bags are packed and I am off to St. Louis for the Build-A-Bear blogger event. I will be away for 3 days and 2 nights. I am a little sad to be leaving my little guy (I haven't been away from him for more than 1 night). However, I am really excited to hang out with my blogging buddies and learn more about this wonderful company. I will also love having a hotel room to myself for a couple … [Read more...]
I have installed a Winner's Page under the "Giveaways" tab. Click on "Winners" and it will bring you to AMI's monthly list of giveaway winners.

Winners have 48 hours to respond to the initial email before a new … [Read more...]
