I’m a true modern-day shopper. I don’t go anywhere without consulting my cell phone – before heading out to the store, during my shopping trips, and (my favorite) completely from home without having to leave my house. Yes, I fear that I would do all of my shopping online if I could. My shopping habits…
How to Earn Extra Box Tops 4 Education with Walmart & #jingit4edu
I have a dirty little secret. I give you permission to laugh at me. I am guilty of grabbing cereal boxes out of my neighbor’s recycling bins to rip off the Box Tops 4 Education. Yes, I am rather obsessed with collecting Box Tops, and my kids share my obsession. We rip and cut out…
The Best Moments of #BlogHer12 Through Instagram – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
The other day, I posted some of the photos that I took on my “real camera” during Blogher last weekend. Although they are certainly better quality, these shots that I took with my HTC One S from T-Mobile (no, I am not being sponsored to say this…) truly highlight the best moments of BlogHer for…
Staying Connected with Skype
My family of seven spends a lot of time together. We eat dinner around the kitchen table every night, everyone shares a bedroom, and we sit together at church every Sunday. We see a lot of each other. And then summer happened. This summer has been different from every other summer I can remember. Instead…
YP = Yellow Pages. The New Way to Search For Local Businesses #YPcrave
I’ve lived in this house for over 14 years, and yet I still frequent the same 2 or 3 restaurants every time I go out with my husband or some girl friends. If someone asked me where the best Indian food restaurant in the area was, I’d probably have to ask around to come up…
Race Across America With SenseAware
Necco loves to ride bikes. In fact, she has been enjoying it so much that she and Dad are working towards a cross country biking trip (with camping included and everything). While what they are working toward is an exciting and worthy endeavor for our family, their biking journey is nothing compared to the route…
Skype Makes it Easier to Stay Connected
Let’s face it. We’re a connected world. Not only is it easier than ever to stay connected, but we’ve become accustomed to being able to connect to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Skype has become one of my favorite ways to stay connected with my family, friends, and the people I work with. In fact, I often…
An Inside Peek at the YesVideo Headquarters #YesMemory
Earlier this month, I had the privilege to fly out to San Jose to tour the headquarters of YesVideo, a company that I have loved and utilized many times since I first came into contact with them last year. I am certainly proud to have been asked to be a YesVideo ambassador for the last…
How to Be Proactive About Your Kids’ Safety with the #RecallsPlus App
When you buy a new car or washing machine or refrigerator, they each come with a thick owners manual, letting you know exactly which buttons to push and how to make it do what you want it (and need it) to do. Unfortunately, children don’t come with owners manuals, and mothers everywhere wonder daily if…
I’m a Skype Ambassador
A few years ago, I had no idea how to use Skype or why I would want to learn. My husband swore by it, but as a mother of then very young children, it simply sounded like something that would take more of my non-existent time. How wrong I was! CandyMan was finally able to…
