In years past, women's roles were mainly to be a wife and mother. As time has passed we’ve progressively picked up many more roles. It’s not that we have more time in the day, but that we are expected to multi-task and complete all of these tasks in the same amount of time. Among other things I am a mom, wife, blogger, secretary, chauffeur, photographer, scheduler, and personal shopper. Because of my need to be organized and connected I had … [Read more...]

by 367 Comments
Neato Robotics Pet & Allergy Robotic Vacuum XV-21 We live with two very big puff balls also known as Mocha & Jasper. I knew when rescuing two Maine Coon kitties that I would have to deal with pet hair, but actually having to do it often makes me groan from frustration. When I heard about a robotic vacuum that was specifically made to attack pet hair I knew I had to give it a try. The Neato XV-21 Automatic Vacuum Cleaner is … [Read more...]

I knew that some looked a bit fancier than the others and some had a few more “bells and whistles”, but they all washed the dishes... the. end. Then... LG Electronics asked me to try their integrated TrueSteam dishwasher. Not only does it have a TrueSteam generator, but it has a feature I have never seen anywhere... … [Read more...]

** New Microsoft Hardware ** During our visit to New York and BlogHer, we were also lucky enough to get to see some of the new Microsoft hardware available now (and soon).

Sony Walkman E Series 8GB Video MP3 Player Review
by
Sony Walkman E Series 8GB Video MP3 Player Emma loves music. We found this out when she was around the age of 2-3. Emma had difficulty winding down and would have some serious fits that only alone time and music could cure. One day at Josh’s soccer game we gave her our MP3 player to listen to and watch videos on. So began Emma’s “music therapy”. Her mood swings lessened considerably and she seemed overall happier! Fast forward to now. To be … [Read more...]

I … [Read more...]
