Bare Escentuals is my brand of choice.  I once strayed from it, only to come running back waving my kabuki brush in the air.  I love this stuff.  So, was I thrilled when I got the opportunity to tell you about a great campaign AND a way for you to have a chance to get your hands on some free product?  You betcha. ReThink What Matters is a campaign that encourages women to talk about real issues for real women.  From “going bare”... 

Last night we attended the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Charlotte thanks to Mom Central and Feld Entertainment.  The show was called “Zing Zang Zoom” and mixed a typical circus act with magic stunts and a story line.  The beginning of the show had the usual parade of animals, clowns and people who fly through the air.  Then the story line began: evil magician, flying people, and clowns. There were some performers... 

My wife asked me if I would be interested in reviewing the Remington F-4790 electric shaver, featuring pivot and flex foil technology. In the past, I have tried a few different electric shavers, but none compared to my good old razor. I have been unsuccessful in finding one that gets the closeness of a shave that my razor provides.   But since I am all for trying new things,  I agreed to review the Remington F-4790, which was sent to us by... 

Confession:  I hate flossing.  I hate having my hands in my mouth.  I hate it.  Every part of it.  Well, except for that clean feeling and that it helps my teeth not fall out.  So that part is good, but really doesn’t it feel a little primitive?  Meat in teeth.  Me pull string through teeth.  Me better.  Know another thing I hate?  Popcorn in my teeth.  Seems like that little kernel can find ways to get deeper and deeper between...

We had the pleasure of meeting Ashley the owner of Festive frills,www.festivefrills.estsy.com at the Motherhood film premiere.  She is such a sweetie and sent both of our girls a fabulous holiday headband to add some frills to our Christmas.  Sophie went bananas when she saw this super cute, handmade holly berry headband. It makes such a fabulous addition to any holiday outfit. It’s well made and it’s holding up to the toddler road... 

Lucy loves pictures of her friends, family, dogs and of herself.  4 x 6 photos are nice, but they never last long in her hands.  Photo albums sound like a good idea, but she is too curious and always takes the photos out and they end up ruined.  I find pictures all over.  This has been driving me a little batty, but I found a great solution. blurb. blurb is a company that helps you create custom books for a reasonable price.  They can be photo...

For the next six weeks I will be putting printers to the test.  HP sent me a HP C6380 and a Kodak AIO 7 printer to compare.  We will have projects weekly to see how these two printers stack up to each other.  My first real challenge?  Getting the Kodak to print color.  You know it’s a bad sign when the first thing you see when you open the box is what to do if your NEW printer won’t print.  Long story short?  I had to clean the...
