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.

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.

The next thing we noticed was the absolutely lovely smell the products Read more [...]
My Friendship Bracelet Maker Review and Giveaway (4/30)
My 11-year old and I were sent the My Friendship Bracelet Maker to review together. When I was a tween, friendship bracelets were all the rage....just not with my friends, I guess. I have worn a few in my day, but never made one from scratch, so i thought it would be a challenge for the both of us to learn together. My biggest problem is that I am not highly dexterous and it made it difficult for both of us originally. Since I have a hard time taking instructions from diagrams Read more [...]
Gorton’s Seafood Fisherman’s Friday Review and Giveaway (4/26/12)
I have long been a fan on Gorton's fish sticks and was happy when they offered me two free product coupons to try whichever products I wanted. I went on the website to learn more about their products before I went shopping and was surprised at the variety of seafood they have! I was able to choose between breaded fillets, battered fillets, all natural grilled fillets, salmon grilled fillets, five star tilapia, fried shrimp and grilled shrimp...and in each of these categories are different seasonings Read more [...]
