The Shelter Pet Project – a PSA

I've always been a pet lover. Well, for me specifically, I'm a cat lover.  In fact, everyone in my extended family are pet lovers, pet owners.  It’s just always been a part of who we are. I was shocked to learn, then, that According to The Humane Society of the United States and Maddie’s Fund,of the eight million pets that enter animal shelters and rescue groups every year, approximately three million of these healthy and treatable pets are euthanized due to a lack of adoption. While the...

InfantNutritionCenter.com – a review

One of the happiest moments in a woman’s life is having a baby – well, for most people.  But at a time when you’re supposed to be so happy about this new little life, there’s so much confusion over what what’s right for your baby.  Cloth or disposable diapers? Pacifier or no? BOTTLE OR BREAST.  Of course, there are always people who will give you their opinion either way.  But what if you really do just want to make up your OWN mind on what’s truly important – your baby’s n...

Magic Jack – a review

When AT&T announced that they were doing away with their Call Vantage program, which enabled us unlimited (US) long distance, I was disappointed.  It had been a perfect set-up for us.  We needed to have high speed internet in order to use the service, but since we always HAD high speed, that was no big deal.  We needed the unlimited because both of our families are in different states, and we speak to them quite frequently. I’d planned on keeping it after we moved to West Virginia, but th...

Listerine Oral Care Challenge – review

I always hated brushing my teeth when I was a kid.  By the time I finally went to a dentist at age 12, my mouth was already in trouble. The U.S Department of Health and Human Services states that 50 percent of kids between the ages of 5 and 9 get a cavity or filling. In OUR household, fortunately that’s not the case. My kids go to the dentist every 6 months and neither of them have had a cavity.  Anthony has had 1 his whole life, and that one wasn’t even really necessarily needed – jus...

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant

It’s not too often that I find myself looking forward to a particular movie to open.  I don’t necessarily pay close attention to them any more because it seems like everything has been done before.  That was, of course, until I was introduced to Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant. After watching just the preview, I can’t wait to see it! In theaters October 23rd Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan, is a fantasy-adven...

Gone Pink

It’s October once again.  October is, among other things, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  This is more than just putting a pink ribbon on your lapel and declaring yourself aware.  This is more than changing your color scheme on your blog to pink and declaring yourself aware. This is more important than that. Master Lock knows that. Master Lock has gone pink as well.   In an effort to raise awareness for breast cancer detection and prevention, Master Lock has introduced a line of special...
