Before the movie came out, I had never heard of Twilight, never knew that there were books that preceded it.  When I asked my sister last night if she’d heard of this Twilight thing, she just about flipped!  Apparently, I’ve missed the boat on this one.

I watched the recent HBO series “True Blood” and LOVED it – and so it seems I might like Twilight as well.  So of course, when Mom Generations announced their new service, The Giveaway Connection, and that their first giveaway would be a Twilight Collector’s Edition, I was all over that!

The Twilight Collector’s Edition (The Twilight Saga) includes a hardcover copy of “Twilight,” a ribbon bookmark, cloth cover, ragged edges, new chapter opener designs, and a protective slipcase. The retail value is $30.00.

Unless it’s brand new out of the box, it probably does.  With so many spyware, virii and various other malicious attacks that our computers combat on a daily basis, it would be a small miracle if your computer was able to stay safe through it all.  Then add in your internet browsing, podcast listening, game playing and you have a veritable mess.  It’s a crash just waiting to happen.

image001[2] Norton by Symantec has created one elegant solution. Norton Premium Services allows Norton experts to connect with you one-on-one, listen to the problems your encountering, and then directly access your computer via the Internet so they can run diagnostic tests and fix the problems while you sit back and watch. In addition to making your PC run like new, they can also help with killing viruses, eliminating spyware, and installing Norton software, just to name a few.

You do all of this without your computer  having to be unplugged, carried to the car, carried into the computer store – fixed by them (sometimes) – then carried back to the car, back into the house, re-plugging everything back in, and keeping your fingers crossed that nothing happened to it in the meantime.

Because you stay on the phone with them the whole time, they can also explain AND show you how to do some preventative maintenance on your computer so that you can keep it running smoothly.  The technician will show you how to do things – not just do things for you, nor talk over your head.  This is all done for you through the internet connection – and all for just $69.99.  (It would also make a great gift for someone!)

and guess what!?

I have THREE free Norton PC Tune-Up Services to give away!   All you have to do is leave a comment telling me the problems you’re having with your computer.

tax deduction.

Lol  It’s true. These little ones running around? Tax deductions! How cool is that? LOL  TurboTax, my most favorite tax preparation software, is celebrating those little tax deductions – specifically those last minute ones (those born December 1-31, 2008) by hosting America’s Cutest Last-Minute Tax Deduction contest!  All you have to do to enter your little tax deduction is log on and upload a photo of your baby that’s born between (yesterday) and New Year’s Eve.  Then you beg/ask/implore people to vote for your cutest baby!  I know – another photo contest.

But this one’s way better.

The winner of THIS photo contest wins a $5,000 United States Savings Bond!

Check out last year’s winner:

There could have never been a more perfect “product review” for me and my family than when Mom Central asked for people to check out the 10th Anniversary Special Edition DVD of Baby Mozart, as well as touch & feel Baby Einstein Touch & Feel Board Book ANDDDD Baby Einstein Classics  Lullaby cd.  My family LOVES the Baby Einstein.  We covet the  Baby Einstein. 

I only wish I knew about it 10 years ago!

We only really became true Baby Einstein fans last year after I had Zachary.  My sister had talked about the wonder that is Baby Einstein products after her 2nd son was born, but you know – whatever.

BE Baby Einstein products are incredible. Created by a mom for her baby daughters, the teacher-mom wanted to instill a love and appreciation for classical music, classic art and also provide fun, visually stimulating images for her daughters to enjoy.  Classical music, which has long been believed to help develop your baby’s brain, is a wonderful addition to your home. We have a Baby Einstein dvd or cd on in our house all the time.  The images are fun and FUNNY – the puppetry, the toys, the lights, the animals – all things to stimulate a baby’s mind and provide you with a constant source of teaching and sharing, even with small babies. 

Baby Einstein products encourage you to spend time with your children, not park them in front of the tv while you play canasta on the computer (not that I’d EVER do that ;) ). They also make the perfect Christmas or baby shower gift!  Zachary has fallen in love with his new book, and we both love the newest DVD, which actually helped us fall asleep last night!  My older kids love them as well!  Libby, Anthony & Zachary will sit and play with the dvd playing in the background, as well as sit and watch the DVD with him too!

This holiday season, take some time out to spend with Baby Einstein and your baby.  You’ll create lasting memories for you both, long after the wrapping paper and pretty lights are gone.


My special thanks to Mom Central for this truly wonderful opportunity!
