I was emailed today about an issue with the pocorners giveaway. Some of you may have noticed that the entries started at #6 and did not list numbers 1-5. I have been having problems continually for the last few months where sections of my blog post just disappear after I have typed them up. This seems to be what had happened. I went in just now and added entries 1-5 so if you already entered and want more entries go check them out. Sorry about that guys! Thanks to library pat for emailing me to let Read more [...]

I love popcorn. I don't love burnt popcorn, unpopped kernals, or getting kernals stuck in my teeth. But, the two go hand in hand so you can't have one without the other, right? Well, I used to think so too. But now there is popcorners. Popcorners chips allow you to experience all of the yumminess of popcorn without worrying about over or under cooking the popcorn, or getting kernals stuck in your teeth. I thought popcorners sounded great, but I was curious to find out if they really tasted like popcorn. Read more [...]

The worst thing about Michigan is the really long winter. We usually have snow on the ground from mid November through mid March. So by mid January I am REALLY tired of winter. My least favorite months are January and February. Although we typically have snow in march it at least warms up and reminds me that spring IS coming. My favorite month is September. I don't like wearing shorts and tank tops as I am not comfortable wearing them. I love jeans and a hoodie weather, so September is definitely Read more [...]

If you know a child ages 4-10 then I'm sure you've heard of silly bandz by now. When I first heard of them it was from a few of the little girls that I know, and then within a few months a few of the little boys that I know started getting into them too. A few months back my 6 year old nephew was showing me several of his silly bandz after his sister had showed her. He explained to me that his sister has a lot more because the 'girl packs' are easier to find, so he has to wait until he finds 'boy Read more [...]

Most of the time we use a dishwasher, but we have yet to find the profect products for it so we often have dishes that refuse to come clean in the dish washer. We also have a few water bottles and other dishes that aren't dish washer safe, so I do a few loads of dishes by hand each week. I am not picky about my tropical traditions dish soap and find out that it's not drying at all. I had never used a scentless dishsoap before, so I wondered if that would seem odd but I don't notice at all. This dish Read more [...]

I am fond of games, especially card games and board games. I often babysit my sisters kids who range from 4-13. I have found that bringing along card games and board games is a good way to entertain all of the kids at once. Of course, Hasbro is well known for their high quality toys and games. So it's not a surprise that Hasbro's new card game is one of my new favorites. Ratuki is a quick addicive card game for people ages 8+. The game can be played with 2-5 players. The cards all have a number, Read more [...]
