My blog is worth more than my google page rank.

If you're unfamiliar with google page rank, it was a method used to rate blogs. It's takes in a bunch of different factors and is really complicated and most people don't understand how they even decide on a sites page rank, which was frustrating enough to begin with. To make things worse, they haven't updated page rank since April, and they used to update page rank every 3 months. When you make a new blog or website, or change your blog over to it's own domain (from a .blogspot.com to a .com) your Read more [...]

Holiday gift guide – executive gift shoppe review and giveaway

In my opinion, men are one of the harder groups of people to find gifts for. So when I find a store that offers a variety of gift ideas for men, I'm thrilled. Executive gift shoppe is one of those awesome stores. Executive gift shoppe has gifts ranging from business card holders to jewelry to flasks to briefcases. Just because executive is in the name doesn't mean you can't find something hee for the 'average joe' in your life. Gifts range from under $20.oo to over $300.00. Not only do you have Read more [...]

Holiday gift guide – outdoor solar store christmas lights review and giveaway

Do you decorate for christmas? As a kid we didn't have an outdoor power outlet so we could never decorate the outside of our house which was a major bummer. These days it's really easy to have outdoor christmas lights even without a power outlet - if you visit outdoor solar store, anyway! They sell a variety of christmas lights that are solar powered, so not only do these give the benefit of not needing an outdoor plug in, but they don't effect your electric bill either. Sounds great to me! Their Read more [...]

Tamagotchi tama town toys review

I first discovered tamagotchi toys when I was probably about 10 years old, and received a tamagotchi dalmation toy for christmas. If you have never heard of tamagotchi toys, they are small digital games that can be animals, people or creatures that you get to take care of. You feed them, play with them, keep track of their discipline and happiness, and play games. The new tamagotchi toys are cooler and more advanced than the toys that I knew, but they are the same basic idea. With the old toys, I Read more [...]

Proof of residency

For those of you who have been following my blog for a while, you might remember the headaches we dealt with when we were trying to get moved in to our current apartment. We had issue after issue but after about 3 months of phone calls, appointments and running around, we finally got the OK to move in, but they couldn't put us on the lease because they attempted to run a background check on my boyfriend but they got the wrong guy. That guy had a felony, so that guy couldn't get accepted to live in Read more [...]

Holiday gift guide – power capes review

It's my personal beleif that every small child should own a superman/super girl cape. Especially if they are a boy. Pretend play is such a fun and important part of the preschool years but unfortunately it can be hard to find 'boy' pretend play outfits. My 4 year old nephew loves to wear his old Halloween costumes for play, and sometimes uses blankets or towels as a superhero cape, which is definitely cute, but once I heard of power capes I knew they were cuter and he needed one. Power capes is a Read more [...]
