Eden Fantasys-I Love Halloween.

2011-10-11T17:48:00.007-04:00

Eden Fantasys has some wonderful items to spice up your sex life. I enjoy looking around to see what my husband and I can use to spice up our sex life. I have been looking around to see what kind of Halloween costume to get. I love seeing what new costumes are on the site and also what kind of fun I can have outside Halloween. I also would love to try out the Massage therapy kit not only to get some relaxation but also for a little fun when it comes to adult time. Eden Fantasys has a wide range of Vibrators. Love the different types of vibrators and seeing the wonderful variety of types of vibrators. As a person who had never used a vibrator. After looking threw EdenFantasys website. I found the "perfect" vibrator for me. Everytime I look at EdenFantasys website, I always find something I want and absolutely have to buy which I enjoy from a website cuz that means I will always come back for more. My husband has his eyes set on a new toy but he won’t tell me what it is. I hope it’s both something we can play with.

FIGHT CANCER YOUR WAY, FIGHT CANCER TOGETHER

2011-10-09T18:00:00.000-04:00

As a woman who is 29 years old, who had found a lump in her breast at the age of 25 When I went to get a mamagram of my breat, I was given the run around about me being too young to get this test done. They needed to double check with the DR even though the dr is the one who called and made the appoinment and sent me in with a script for the mamagram. Why do people do this? You can get breast cancer at any age. Praise God that there was nothing wrong with my breast and it wasnt cancer but there are alot of women who find a lump and it turns out to be cancer. As a woman and person, I am so supportive of Save the Tatas and so is my family. Breast Cancer runs in my family so I have to be careful. Some of the strongest people I know have beat breast cancer. Also dont forget October is >Breast Cancer Awarness Month!

My family and I when to see Disney on Ice: Dare to Dream. It was a wonderful show. My son loved the Princess and the Frog segment of the show. My husband and daughter loved the Tangled segment. I loved the entire show. My daughter said She wished there would have been all the princesses in the show. I thought the horse (maxiums) was hillarious in the show. My family were on the edged of their seats threw out the show.

Crazy Stupid Love Review

2011-08-09T21:27:00.001-04:00

Crazy, Stupid, Love might be one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. I howled with laughter and did not want it to end! I was thinking going into it that it would be another cheesy romantic comedy, but boy was I wrong. It was so darn funny!
There’s a few storylines that are all interconnected. The main one is with Cal, the newly single dad who is completely clueless on today’s dating world. Jacob, played by Ryan Gosling, discovers him wallowing in self-pity in a bar whining to anyone who would listen (or not listen) about his wife cheating on him. Jacob feels sorry for him and decides to take him under his wing and give him a makeover in every sense of the word. They shop for new clothes, haircuts, and work on how to talk to woman. It’s funny to see Cal at first mess up so badly when he first meets a woman. I even felt sorry for him! He does eventually get the swing of things and becomes a regular ladies man picking up different women, but having no real relationships…more like one night stands.
In the meantime, there is the babysitter and Cal’s son Robbie. Robbie is in love with Jessica and even embarrasses in public at his school professing his love to her. Jessica, on the other hand, is secretly in love with Cal, and decides one day to take nude photographs of herself! Don’t worry you don’t see anything! When her parents unwittingly come across the nude photos, all hell breaks loose. At this point, I truly felt sorry for Cal because he had no idea that Jessica even felt that way about him!
Then there’s Hannah. She’s a pretty red head lawyer dating another lawyer (who happens to be played by Josh Grobin!) At the beginning of the movie, she meets Jacob in the bar and he tries to put his moves on her, but she rejects him. She later runs into him at the bar after she has a fight with her boyfriend and ends up going home with him. Watch for the Dirty Dancing scene where they mimic Baby running into Johnny’s arms and he does the “lift”. I loved that scene! Anyways, Hannah and Jacob end up chatting all night long and you can tell they are falling for eachother. This is definitely new territory for ladiesman, Jacob.
At this point, I was still trying to figure out how Hannah fit into the movie and that revelation didn’t come until towards the end. Then things finally made sense. I won’t give it away though because I was truly surprised! That was the best part I think.
There were some big name actors and actresses in the movie including Kevin Bacon, (plays the guy that Cal’s wife, Emily cheats with) and Marisa Tomei (plays the first woman Cal hooks up with AND his son’s teacher!).

Monster Jam Review

2011-02-21T21:59:00.006-05:00

Oh man, I have never seen my 3 kids (including my husband) so excited to see something in my life. They were like kids in a candy store. My husband Sascha was so excited to see Grave Digger. My son Tyler loved Brutus and Spike that we had to go to the store today and buy the trucks. We also had pit passes and boy it was packed. We got to all the drivers but 2. The kids had a blast.

My husband and kids were screaming in the stands cuz they were having a blast. We had some wonderful seats. Right smack in the middle and up front. I loved it. Our favorite part was at the end when Grave Digger was doing freestyle and he did a great jump and ended up breaking his tie rod. But he put a wonderful performance.

Thank you Feld Entertainment for the oppertunity to see this show.

We have seen Elmo before and my family loved it. So how about a giveaway for some tickets to see Elmo.
Sesame Street Live
“Elmo’s Green Thumb”
Youngstown, OH; Powers Auditorium
Tuesday, February 8 & Wednesday, February 9, 2011

When Elmo’s sunflower, Sunny, outgrows his flower pot, Big Bird’s garden seems to be the perfect place for Sunny to flourish. An excited Abby Cadabby, Sesame Street’s fairy-in-training, casts a spell to make Sunny grow faster. The spell does just the opposite and, instead of growing, Elmo and his friends shrink! As Abby tries to reverse the spell, Elmo, Zoe, Telly and friends explore Big Bird’s garden from a smaller perspective and learn some big lessons about patience, overcoming fears and appreciation of nature. From dancing ladybugs to grouchy beetles, get ready for a fresh, original Sesame Street Live on a whole new scale!

•Sesame Street Live is a larger-than-life, musical touring stage production featuring Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie…and more. Each performance is 90 minutes of singing, dancing and audience participation, including a 15-minute intermission. The perfect length for very young children!

PetCakes Review/Giveaway (ends 12/11/10)

2010-11-29T11:40:00.004-05:00

You wouldn't think that there could be anything new in the world of collectible plush, but Pet Cakes are a brand new concept that's mighty cute and very original. Kids love puppies, and they love cupcakes, but no one has thought to put them together till now. These small plush dogs have cupcake topper "hats" and they're very cuddly. When playtime is done put them back into their cupcake holders, and you'd never know there was a puppy inside.

*Randy Candy – a lovable mutt, scampering around playfully and taking long naps in his cupcake wrapper. Topped with tasty frosting and a cherry!
*Blueberry Buddy – a Shar Pei who acts tough for his size, but is a loving push over who’s as sweet as the blueberry frosting on his head! When sleepy, Blueberry buddy cozies up in his own cupcake wrapper.
*Twinkle Sprinkles – a playful, loving and mischievous Beagle, whose colorful pink sprinkled frosting top looks good enough to eat! Twinkle Sprinkles likes to yelp when happy and sleep in her cupcake wrapper where her nose stays nice and toasty.
*Coco-Coconut - is a fluffy poodle with a loving side that is as sweet as a frosted cupcake. Cuddle Coco-Coconut and keep her cozy in her cupcake wrapper.

These sweet new toy treats by Well Made Toy are a new collectible series of plush animals. The first in the series is the puppies. PetCakes combines two things people can’t resist – cute animals and cupcakes, what’s not to love? These make great birthday presents, holiday stocking stuffers, rewards for good grades, or just something to sit on a desk and make you smile (like it does for me). PetCakes are for ages 3 and up and each one of the PetCakes has a suggested retail price of $13.99. PetCakes are available at specialty stores, www.toysrus.com (online only – not in the stores) and etoys.com.

Giveaway: One lucky winner will recieve 2 Petcakes (randomly chosen)

1. Visit Pet Cakes and let me know what pet u would like.

Book Review-19th Wife by David Ebershoff

2010-10-17T10:55:00.001-04:00

The 19th Wife is a complex novel. It's an adult novel, for sure, though more mature teens could probably handle the content. (I'm thinking of the language. This one is far from clean.) What I loved about this one was its intensity and depth. The novel could have easily gone astray. After all, it is a novel that splits its focus in two.

One story is modern day. A man--grown son--coming back to his childhood town to see his mother who has been arrested and charged with murdering his dad (or stepdad, I think it is). He's an adult who's seen and done a bit too much. Having been kicked out of his home by his father for getting caught holding hands with one of his sisters (half-sister? step-sister?), he got along the best he could. Living on the streets. Selling his body. (Though it's been years since he was reduced to that lifestyle, he's doing "better off" now and living in California.) He's angry. He's bitter. He's confused. He's rejected the faith of his parents. And he's gay. Not going to exactly make him popular back in his hometown. But when he gets the news that his mom has been arrested--though he hasn't heard from her since he was kicked out--he packs up what he can and travels with his dog--he loves his dog!--and makes for home not knowing just what to expect. This side of the story is all mystery and drama. Can he make peace with his mom? Can he figure out who really murdered his dad?

The second story is historical. It's set in the early days of the LDS church. We see Joseph Smith and Brigham Young up, close, and personal. We get a novelized accounting of the early days of the church. It's semi-gradual shift to adopt pologamy. Our narrator through these portions shifts chapter to chapter. One of our main characters is Ann Eliza Young, a young woman who grew up in a polygamous family. A young woman who saw how hard it was on her mother for her father to keep bringing in wives. A young woman who wanted to be the one and only wife. But a woman who ultimately had bad luck in love and ended up marrying a complete jerk, having two kids, divorcing, and remarrying. She remarried the church leader actually. Became one of many of Brigham Young's wives. But that marriage didn't go smoothly. And their divorce wasn't only ugly, it was scandalous.

What these two halves have in common is polygamy. Specifically, the books present different viewpoints on how polygamy effects women and children...and ultimately even how it can be destructive and dangerous to men as well.

The novel shifts back and forth between centuries. This could have been tricky as far as pacing goes. Just when momentum is building up for one side of the story, the reader is flipped to the other one. Time and time again we're built up to a very intense point only to have the narrative shift. The good news is that I, as a reader, found both stories interesting. There were places I loved one more than the other. But even that changed throughout the novel. I didn't just love one over the other. I genuinely came to care for both stories. So, yes, it probably through me a little to have to go back and forth and back and forth. But both stories added so much to the novel as a whole, that I ended up happy with it overall.

PurpleTrail....how do u make holiday cards

2010-10-14T19:30:00.003-04:00

It’s that time of year again. The holidays are right around the corner, and it’s time to order personalized holiday cards! These days personalized cards aren’t very expensive, so they are a great way to connect with your friends and family during the holiday season.

Whenever we send out personalized cards we always get tons of compliments on them, and I still have many of the cards that were sent to me! These cards will hold special meaning to the recipients long after the holidays are over.

Here are 5 ways to make your cards great:

1.Take photos . You can do them yourself or get them done professionally. You can order cards from professional photographers or get a copywrite release.

2.Include unique family quotes. Cards are a great place to put the cute things your daughter or son is always saying! I have also done recorded messages for our cards.
3.Think outside of the box. Holiday cards don’t have to focus on the holidays – dress in your favorite team’s colors, pick photos from your annual vacation, or something else that is meaningful to your family.
4.Tell a story. Did something interesting happen to your family this year? Personalized holiday cards are a great way to let everyone know! The year our daughter was born, our holiday cards also served as birth announcements.
5.Involve your children. Many cards have room for several photos on them, so let one of those be all about the children. Let them make funny faces, strike silly poses, and just be kids! Who knows, you may end up using this as your main photo!
Purple Trail is currently offering free shipping on all of their personalized holiday cards. They have a large selection of cards to choose from, and if you are feeling especially creative you can even use their Design Center to create your own design. With postcards, flat cards, and folded cards there really is something for everyone.

We have made homemade cards, ordered cards with pictures, and ordered cards already written up.
Do you make personalized cards each year? What is your tip for making them special?

I cant hold this in anymore. I am trying to stay calm and strong for my kids. Well you all know my dad passed away from cancer in Feb. Well not even a few months after my dad passed away my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung and brain cancer How am I suppose to deal with this and stay strong for the kids? I have moments I just wanna cry all day or I have moments that I just wanna be a total bitch. How do you deal with this? I pray but I dont know if God hears me.

How would you feel??

2010-06-05T14:48:00.003-04:00

I am so confused with my feelings right now. How would you feel if you graduated colllege an NONE of your family showed up except for my kids and Sascha who was graduating also. My father couldnt make it cuz he passed away but my mother never called, texted or showed up. Neither did my siblings. Well my sisters wedding was today and I couldnt make it cuz I had to work and she didnt give me enough time to request off plus I live 5 hrs away! It pisses me off that they say they were coming and I was looking forward to it. I feel like they dont love me. They say I am being childish and dramatic for wanting them here and being upset. It hurts cuz that I just lost my dad and wanting my family to be there for me....But they dont. I am sick of it. I have Sascha and my kids and a wonderful mother in law.

Uneaks Review and Giveaway

2010-05-26T19:13:00.008-04:00

Oh my sneakers are so hard to find that fit my children right! Hailey has skinny feet and Tyler has short chubby feet! So where can I find shoes that fit my kids right!!!

"U*neaks patented customizable footwear are sneaker style shoes with side clear panel windows and specially designed socks that allow kids to continuously customize their shoes by simply changing their socks. Pair the shoes with any of U*neaks' double-sided decorated socks for footwear that’s fun and chock full of personality.

U*neaks brand of customizable footwear was created by Ingenuity Express Corp. in Somerset, NJ. The footwear concept was invented and developed by company founders Steve Braynock and Jeff Gabriele, Ingenuity Express’ CEO. Both Rutgers University alum, Steve Braynock, came up with the product concept in 1990 and shared it with Jeff in 2003. Together they developed U*neaks, which included a collaboration with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in Manhattan, N.Y. On September 9th, 2008 Steve and Jeff were awarded patent number 7,421,806 for their customizable footwear system."

U*neaks are a great shoe and they fit my children great! Hailey loves the fact she can show off her socks to her friends. Tyler loves the Madagascar socks! I think they are so cute! Here are what my kids revieved.

Hailey is very in love with her shoes. She wont wear anyother shoe right now. Tyler loves to see his socks in them. I was very pleased how happy my children were with these shoes. I have never heard them not complain about a shoe.

Thank you Jeff at U*neaks for letting me do this review for your company

PopChips Review

2010-05-26T19:10:00.000-04:00

Wow. These chips are delicious. I love them, and the variety of flavors, always finish the bag. But when I finish the bag, I don't feel guilty! These chips are very very healthy, especially for potato chips! An incredibly satisfying 100 calorie snack. My favorite flavor changes every week, but currently it's barbeque - the perfect combonations of sweet, salty, spicy, and smokey...Mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Other flavors I like are original, cheddar, salt & pepper, sea salt and vinegar, parmesean garlic, and sourcream and onion. I think that may be all the flavors. The point is that these chips are delicious, and quite healthy: never fried (unhealthy) and never baked (undelicious). I recommend these chips with no reservations - give them a try next time you see them at the store. You won't regret it, and you'll never touch Cheez-its or frito lays again. I know that I didn't! Popchips=delicious, go see for yourself.

Sesame Street Live: When Elmo Grows Up Review

2010-05-01T17:27:00.008-04:00

My family and I had the oppertunity to see this program, thanks to Vee corporation. My family and I had never been to a show like this before. My kids enjoyed all the whole show. My 3 yr old son kept singing and dancing and screaming durnig the show because he was so excited and having a good time. My husband even got into the show with the kids. My kids enjoyed watching Elmo and his friends and them choosing what they want to be when they grow up.Even my husband and myself got into it. He loved Elmo's world and was singing the song.

Elmo kept trying to figure out what he wanted to be. My kids thought Elmo should be a Weather Person. I loved that Cookie Monster wanted to be a fireman. This was so education and fun for children and adults of all ages. And the show would not have went on without Big Bird.

Sesame Street Live-When Elmo Grows Up Giveaway-Youngstown, Ohio/closed

2010-04-13T13:42:00.014-04:00

I am very excited for this giveaway.

“WHEN ELMO GROWS UP”
Favorite Friends Plan Their Pageant - and Their Future -in Youngstown
from April 30 – May 2

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF “SUNNY DAYS”!

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – VEE Corporation is proud to raise the curtain on the 30th season of its world renowned Sesame Street Live touring productions. As the live stage show licensee of Sesame Workshop (the nonprofit organization behind Sesame Street), VEE will present Abby Cadabby, the newest Muppet on Sesame Street, along with Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and all of her furry and feathered friends as they ask, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ Get ready to sing cowboy songs, ride the rails and more when Sesame Street Live “When Elmo Grows Up” performs at Powers Auditorium from Friday, April 30 through Sunday, May 2. Tickets for all five performances are on sale now!

When Elmo and his Sesame Street Live friends think about growing up, it’s a musical show-and-tell! Bert dreams of becoming a forest ranger, Telly longs to be a cowboy and their newest friend, Abby Cadabby, wants to be a Fairy Godmother just like her mommy. Elmo thinks about becoming a ‘weather monster,’ but has a hard time predicting his own forecast—he wants to be anything and everything all at once! “When Elmo Grows Up” includes lessons on perseverance, teamwork and the power of imagination. Children learn that if they believe in themselves and are willing to try, the possibilities are endless.

Like television’s Sesame Street, each Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages. Through the razzle-dazzle of this musical Broadway-quality musical production, children learn about patience, acceptance and teamwork. The universal appeal of a Sesame Street Live production continues long after preschool. Adults will appreciate the high-tech stagecraft, cleverly written scripts, and music they’ll recognize and enjoy sharing with children, such as “Home on the Range,” “Down on the Corner” and “Give a Little Love.” “When Elmo Grows Up” features nearly two dozen songs, including classics that children will love to sing along with such as “I Love Trash” and “Itsy Bitsy Spider.”
