With my sister and brother-in-law eagerly awaiting the addition of Baby #2, and my sister being in the market for a wireless video monitor, I knew they would be perfect to give this Lorex Wireless Monitoring System a test run. Here’s what she had to say:
When first shopping for my baby, I decided that we [...]
The email was pretty simple, asking me if I would like to try some new chocolate from Mars, Incorporated that is being made in a very old way – the way it was in Colonial times. Uh, yes!
When the American Heritage chocolate arrived, I scoped out the papery wrapping, which felt more like baked parchment [...]
Cate will attest that until recently, I wanted nothing at all to do with crafty things. While I certainly like the idea of creating things at home, crafting just isn’t in my comfort zone. But 2009 is the year of breaking out of my comfort zone for me, so I have been doing all sorts [...]
My shelves are packed with cookbooks, but I’m always on the lookout for a new one. Although I have gotten a bit pickier in terms of which ones I buy myself, that doesn’t stop me from adding to my shelves every now and again. Recently I was introduced to Sam Stern’s Get Cooking, the third [...]

The BellaBand Organic is made from organic cotton fiber that is grown without synthetic chemicals or genetically modified seeds. As an added [...]
You know what gets me excited? Like really excited? Shiny, powerful, new kitchen gear. So, when Cuisinart’s rep asked me if I wanted to take the new Cuisinart SM-55 5-1/2-Quart Stand Mixers for a spin, I couldn’t say yes fast enough. (I was caught up just a bit in the “Wait, Cuisinart makes a [...]
I am a Sharpie girl from way back. I love how they write. I love their smell. I love their permanence. The only thing I don’t like about them is how it invariably bleeds through to the other side of the paper I’m writing on, but my Sharpie love trumps that and I’ve learned to [...]
