Mooooooooo

I am a big fan of chocolate milk...I'm not a connoisseur by any means - I'm pretty happy with Nesquick, but I don't do a great job of mixing it and often end up with little clumps of unmixed powder. My brother in law insists that it is better when you warm the milk just a bit, but I am too lazy...the Moo Mixer looks perfect for me though...can't wait to try it!

Under the weather...

I was a bit sick last week...and, sadly was not even up for a little retail therapy...spending that much time on the sofa did make me realize that I need a new pillow...the Power n·a·p™ Pillow from Brookstone looks awesome. I really want it, but I do hope that I don't need it again for a while...

Let's give them something to talk about

My mother loves to have everyone at the Thanksgiving dinner table discuss what we are thankful for...when I heard about Table Topics, I was a bit apprehensive - I absolutely adore my mom and her traditions, but I wasn't sure that I wanted to give her more dinner topics...but, I have to admit that I love Table Topics! The full size set comes in a thick and attractive acrylic cube with 135 cards on a variety of topics to get your family and friends talking. What a great idea for a hostess gift...take it to your next dinner party - it will help make for an interesting evening...

Sign up for this

I recently discovered this site...you can sign up to receive an email alert when toys have been recalled. I like these better than the CSPC updates because Recalled Toy Alert includes pictures of the recalled toys.
