Save Second Base Tshirts review and giveaway

Breast cancer is a horrible disease, and despite all the progress that has been made, far too many people are still suffering and dying from it. I'm certain that raising awareness can help lower the statistics (through early detection, prevention, etc..), and I remain hopeful that finding a cure is just a matter of time, funding and awareness -- so...

PediaCare 24-Hour Allergy Review and Giveaway

Spring is definitely in the air. No, I'm not talking about butterflies and sunshine, I'm talking about pollen. The pollen count in our area must be extra-high this year, because allergies have hit my family extra-hard. Usually it's just Alfie who's sniffling, but this year it's all of us. My eyes are constantly itchy, 3Po is getting hives, and...

The Woman who taught me to Wrap

Every time my kids go to a birthday party, I think of my grandmother. Lola (that's grandmother in Filipino) Tining (that's a Filipino nickname for Cristina) taught me how to wrap presents when I was about nine years old. In those days there were no ready-made gift boxes or gift bags; you couldn't just stick a present in a box and stuff some colored...

Mother's Day Gift Idea: Sony Cybershot camera

My mother loves photos. Her home is plastered with photos of her children and grandchildren and sisters and cousins and aunts and parents, a testament to the love she bears for her extended family. At every family get-together, she's the one with the camera on hand, pleading with people to smile and pose for her camera. Despite all the groans, people...

Earth Day Giveaway from Post-It Notes

Despite my reliance on computers and the internet, I still find myself writing little notes all the time. I'm so absentminded, it helps to jot down little reminders whenever I need to. And there's hardly a week that passes when Alfie leaves a little Post-it sticky note on our kitchen cabinet, where we're sure to see it, asking me to tape a show or...

It's Lemon Month at Sweet Tomatoes and Souplantation!

One of my favorite salad buffet restaurants is Sweet Tomatoes. I used to eat there regularly when I worked near one of their restaurants, but since I stopped working there I haven't gone to Sweet Tomatoes as often as I'd like. So it was such a pleasant surprise when they contacted me and invited me to sample their new April menu featuring the spring-iest...
