The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson Review and Giveaway (us/can/eur) (5/8)
I have fancied myself a poet from a young age. During my early college years I sent off poetry to publishers and was published a handful of times. Then I gave birth and all of my creativity went to my uterus; though I never stopped reading and loving other people's poetry. I have many favorite poets for different reasons, but Emily Dickinson has always remained one of them over the years. Her poetry is haunting and her background was always shrouded in a bit of mystery. So I was quite happy to Read more [...]

Parental Control Kits for 3DS and PS3 Review
I received a Parental Control Kit for 3DS to review from Bigben Interactive. My 13 year old son has a 3DS, but he does not generally need too many time limits set since he has other hobbies that take up a lot of his time. His biggest concern (and what made me want to try out this product with him) is that you can set an alarm so your child can't hold it too close to their face. My son is precarious and had read an article stating that he could mess up his eyes or have seizures if he held the 3DS Read more [...]

Pringles Review
While I love eating the light, crispy deliciousness that is pringles, when I think of them I usually think of men. Perhaps this is because the main place I would see pringles as a kid was in my step dads semi. They are a quick, convenient snack for him to eat on the go so he would purchase the small cans quite often. With today being earth day, I should mention that he also would reuse the can to put his spare change in. Though I'm sure my crafty readers could come up with plenty of craft ideas that Read more [...]
Happy Earth Day
Happy earth day! While I think it's a good idea to be eco-friendly all year long, I think earth day is great because it causes us to reflect on our lifestyles. For us, we are eco-friendly in some ways but have a lot of areas that we could improve on. The biggest barrier that we face is the financial expenses of choosing eco-friendly options. For us, it's a pain to have to spend 6.00 on store brand garbage bags, so paying lots extra for way less trash bags that decompose earlier isn't really an Read more [...]
