I needed something special for my parents this year.  Gosh they are hard to buy for, if they want it they get it if you know what I mean.  This year I tried something different.  I went to the Kodak site and made a photo album book for them. 

The site was easy to navigate and understand.  I do however wish when I added photos to view you could crop them easier and they could improve editing a bit, make it more user friendly.  When I previewed the book some of the pictures looked like they would be fuzzy but when I actually got the book all the pictures came out great.

I helped a friend put...

It's early, Saturday December 5th was "Girls Day Out". Twice a year Nordstrom's at Somerset Collection Mall in Troy, Michigan has a show. Showing off the new trends in Make-up. They also give you tips and have drawings for some free items. I started to take my daughter two years ago to get her out of the house. She didn't want to go anywhere after being hit by a car.

I thought this would be a fun Mother-Daughter day. Like I wrote the show is twice a year, one before Mother's Day and one just before Christmas. This year we also invited my son's girlfriend as she has never been to one. The show...

My son bought me a serta 2-inch memory foam topper and contour pillows. I have loved it every since. I have juvinile RA and you talking about a comfortable piece of bedding. I don't think I'll ever go back to just a plain ole mattress ever again. I spend a lot of time in bed because of my physical condition and I wouldn't have anything else but my 2-inch memory foam mattress or topper to lay on and sleep on. I thought maybe I would have problems turning or moving on it but it is just the opposite. I have this topper now for about two years and I would hate not to have it. When ever we go on vacation,...

The Toshiba Satellite laptop is one of if not the best laptop computer that was ever made. I got my laptop for a Christmas present in 2006 and I have been on it close to everyday since I received it, I cut my cyber teeth on this very computer. I have taken it on vacations with me, I have changed operating systems twice. I do all my business on it, you name it and I do it..  It is still in very good shape, it has held up, keyboard and all the parts still work. I play, download music, movies pictures and my documets. I love my Toshiba laptop, if I ever buy another one, it will definitely be a Toshiba....

Bennigans - Ramsey, NJ the town right next to my former Hometown of Allendale. Right off of Route 17, the most dangerous and busiest road in New Jersey. However, this isn't about the roadway, this is about Bennigans. A restaurant that serves excellent food, with their Nachos specials, and their famous "Death by Chocolate" dessert which drives Diabetics into shooting up more insulin. However, Bennigans is a place where a kid can be a kid and celebrate his birthday, and his graduation all at the same time. The price can be between 25 and 30 but when I went there it was A LOT more reasonable.

Howard Johnson's motor lodges. Early in my life, I have been traveling with my family and when we have need the services of a motel, we usually look for those with rates of lower than $50 for a room. Usually, this one seems to pop up in many areas as being affordable. But as time has gone on, it seems that Howard Johnson's are fading in popularity and I wonder if they will fade away or be taken over by Holiday Inns. ANyway, the weary traveler who is on the road needs to plan on finding one of these Orange roofed inns in order to pay less for a good nights sleep. We found that these rooms were graciously...

National Airlines. Where have they gone? In the late 80's, National Airlines was based in Miami, Florida. And they had quite a fleet. Their 727's and DC-10's were the picturesque airline of all. Why, they even named their planes after female celebrities at one point. Like, Cheryl for Cheryl Tiggs, Barbara(For barbara Walters), and so on. But there were other female names that weren't celebrities. However, the ad campaign was all over the newspapers, tv, and radio and their planes weren't too bad, either. To my reccollection this airline NEVER had an accident or crash, but they were fuel efficient...

American Airlines - I love to Fly AA - This airline company has been around longer than I've been alive. Their silver coated airplanes with the Red and Blue A's on the tail have inspired me to pick this airline over all others. Their service is top notch, and they stand behind their service. The routes they choose to fly leave one to question what is a HUB? Hubs are basically where the mainstay of the airline is. So when you book travel with American you usually have to fly through or to one of their many Hubs - Like Dallas Fort Worth, Chicago, Atlanta, and especially, New York. I once flew them...

I am a new father from the start, but my wife had 3 children when we got married.  I trust her opinion with pretty much everything baby related because she is experienced with a lot of this.  The Playtex Ventaire bottles have been great for us.  My baby doesn't spit up very much due to the shape and the bottle's ability to limit gas because of how it lets it escape from the bottom. 

The only complaint I have with the Playtex Ventaire baby bottles is that the lettering is wearing off so quickly.  I am not sure if it is just because we wash them daily, or because of the hot water that we do...

The Leapfrog toys are all something that I am partial to for both of my boys and the magnet toys are not an exception to that.  My boys have had several of the different magnet sets from LeapFrog and the Magnetic farm animals is one that they still play with and it still works great! The batteries seem to last forever which is always a plus especially when you are on a budget.  There is a volume control so it is not blasting out your ears and their ears at al times.  I am glad to have the ability to show my children that learning can be fun and this is something that I would recommend for all...

My son has almost all of the Elmo's at least that is what it seems like when I look at them all and have to move them to clean!  He loves Elmo and so we have purchased him one every year, sometimes two a year.  Just depends on if we can find a new one.  Anyway, the Chicken Dance Elmo is a blast for the whole family and has taught my son the Chicken Dance.  He is able to go up and teach it to everyone and he loves it.  I truly think that this Elmo has helped him to get out of his shy phase very quickly and become more outgoing.  If he ever seems to be getting shy we ask him to do the Chicken...

When it came time to buy a highchair for our daughter I knew we would buy Fisher price. I love everything they produce and the Ocean Wonders Highchair is no exception. It is visually appealing to both the parents and the baby. I love the colors of the headrest and how easy it is to take off and clean!!! I also like that it moves on wheels if you want it to!!! Very nice function. I didn't find this to be a hazard because you simply put the brake on and it won't go anywhere. I love the tray that you can easily remove for cleaning. I also love the activity center that fit perfectly over it! Mydaughter...

I have tried many different body wash products that are on the market, but I keep going back to the Bath and Body Works brand. They leave your skin smooth and silky to the touch. I never feel greasy or oily after using it. I really like that you can get a lotion, body spray, perfume, and other things that coordinate with the scent you choose at Bath and Body Works. My favorite scent is the Warm Vanilla Sugar. It is a subtle fragrance that lasts all day. People say "you smell really good" all the time and all I have used is the body wash and lotion. No perfume is needed when you used these products....

I have tried probably the majority of moisturizers that are on the market today and I have to say that I keep going back to the Bath and Body Works brand lotions. They leave your skin smooth and silky to the touch. I never feel greasy or oily after using it.
