The VZ Navigator App Versus My Current GPS Device

VZ Navigator 9

Does anyone watch those Jewelry store commercials with the talking GPS? Like the one where it makes the husband go to the Jewelry to get his wife a necklace? I wish mine would do that! I wish it would actually talk to me in words other than "Left, Right, X Number of Feet" -  not that I would be upset if it led my husband to a diamond store either. In Michigan, we tend to give directions by time and occasionally use miles. Don't ask me why, I don't know. Michiganders get made fun of for it … [Read more...]

{Review} 2012 Kia Rio is a Peppy Hatchback

2012 kia rio review

I won't argue that hatchbacks are sexy or even that they're making a come back in the auto market. Instead, I'll tell you why the 2012 Kia Rio EX 5 door's peppy hatchback packs a lot into a small price point. Let's start literally. [singlepic id=19 w=550 float=center] I recently made a solo trip up to Papa & JoJo's house with my 2 year old son.

Talking Tom Cat is Alive!

Talking Tom Cat is Alive!

  How many of you have the Talking Tom Cat app on your phone or are familiar with it? It's one of the first apps on my smartphone, that I downloaded to distract and entertain my children. I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but even as adults, my friends and I have used it and had him repeat some "inappropriate phrases" just for laughs. Of course, with over 600 million downloads of Talking Tom and friends, I'm probably not the only one! Well, guess what, Outfit 7 has launched the … [Read more...]

Holiday Gifts and Baskets Review and Giveaway!

Gift Basket 1

I have never been the Gift-Basket-Giving sort of person. There is something about Pre-Made gift baskets (of any kind) that usually turn me off.

So it really surprised me when I saw the Holiday Sweet Treats Candy Basket atHoliday Gifts & Baskets.  Not only did I love the look of this basket, but everything inside it looked tasty! But … [Read more...]

The solution: being able to think outside the box and using deal sites like Rosingly, where I can afford to buy designer items for less. … [Read more...]

My daughter is only 2 but she loves to cook. I know what your thinking the thought of kids in the kitchen brings to mind flour coated tables, chairs, hair, faces … [Read more...]
