When I started commuting two hours each day, a few friends mentioned that I should consider listening to audio books while driving. I have approximately 102,000 books on my “to read” list so this idea was genius as far as I was concerned. Not wanting to go broke buying a new audio book every week [...]
To me, the most enjoyable part of working out (besides being able to fit into my clothes), is listening to music on my iPod. But the most annoying thing about working out is constantly stopping to put my iPod earbuds back into my ears.
I’ve tried to solve the problem. I tried several different brands of [...]
I’ll admit as a new dog owner, I’m pretty obsessed over my pup. Everything she does seems to be oh-too-cute and oh-so-funny. She already has 15+ toys, bags and bags of treats and all those little extras that no pet probably needs. So needless to say, I’m all about the pet overindulgence. But I’m not [...]
I recently purchased a Flip video camera and am loving it! For those of you who may not be familiar with the Flip video cameras, they are small, easy-to-use video cameras that are about the size of a digital camera. They have a built-in microphone, record with the touch of a button, and connect to [...]
Last night a woman from my neighborhood and her children – and several of her children’s friends – showed up at our door with our labradoodle, Duke, on the end of a leash. Apparently, Duke tested the electric fence line enough to know that the battery had died in his collar. So he decided it [...]
Like many women, I feel guilt. Sometimes it’s because I ate dessert after dinner. Sometimes it’s because I let my daughter watch television. Sometimes it’s because I didn’t take the dogs for a walk. Thankfully, marketers are finally understanding this ever-present emotion. Frito-Lay even developed an entire campaign around women’s guilt. A brilliant campaign if [...]
As a writer, I love when I come across products that encourage creative writing, especially for kids. Writing can have a big impact on a child’s education. That’s why I was so excited to learn about Tikatok.com.
Tikatok.com, founded by two moms, is an online destination where kids can use their imagination and turn their ideas [...]
Have you social shopped yet? It’s the newest way to shop online. Basically, social shopping allows consumers to shop in a social networking environment where you can share opinions and information about products, prices, coupons, etc., or even shop together with friends and family.
Some social shopping Web sites:
sfeed is a shopping microblog that brings people [...]
Well, it looks like Facebook finally decided to wake up and smell the TweetDeck.
For those of you who have been living under a rock for the last few months (don’t worry, I was too until just a few weeks ago), TweetDeck is a software tool that pulls messages from Twitter and organizes them into different [...]
One of my co-workers recently returned from a social media conference with all kinds of upcoming trends according to “the experts.” One such trend involves pocket-sized, big-eyed animals called Pokens, which apparently have taken Europe by storm. (Please note: Do not confuse Pokens with Pokémon, which apparently takes every kindergarten classroom by storm every year.)
