MSN Lifestyle has a slideshow article from RealSimple showing new ways to use old items around the house. Some of them are so clever, I had to share. Tell me what you think of these ideas in a comment or share some of your ways to reuse household items! Use a Twister Game Mat as a tablecloth for a child's birthday party. After everyone eats, wipe it clean and use to play Twister! Wash out an empty ketchup bottle, let dry, then fill with pancake batter to squeeze out the perfect amount of batter! Use an empty toilet paper tube to keep your hair accessories handy. Hairclips and bobby pins go on top, ponytail holders wrap around! A six-pack drink holder is the perfect size for carrying ketchup, mustard, squeeze relish, rolled up napkins, and utensils to a picnic! Have an empty cassette tape holder? Coil up your iPod earphones and stash inside. A small MP3 player will fit inside too! Use an empty (and clean) travel soap holder (the kind with the lid that snaps shut) to … [Read more...]
Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana, JONAS Rockin’ The House
I have a confession to make. I might be a 42 year old Mom, but I think Wizards of Waverly Place is a cute and funny show. Sometimes I watch it even when the kids aren't around!

Austin) and Alex (Selena Gomez) on board the S.S. Tipton. That's the boat that the show Suite Life on Deck takes place on, in which twin brothers Zack and Cody Martin (Cole and Dylan Sprouse) and hotel heiress London … [Read more...]
Hallmark Edge of Motherhood Cards Giveaway
This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the three winners chosen by random.org: 1. Comment #1 by Monica from 3 Crazy Monkeys 2. Comment #36 by Ginny of Mom of 2 Dancers Reviews 3. Comment #13 by Anne of Forever A Younger Congratulations! When I visited Hallmark headquarters earlier this year, we were shown a potential new line of cards that was so top-secret, we had to agree not to tell anyone. We stood in front of racks of cards, just like the racks you see in Hallmark stores, and picked out our favorite cards from this new line, then went around the table and talked about which cards we picked and who we would give them to. Well, I guess they liked our feedback, because now the line of cards is in stores! It's called Edge of Motherhood, and it's cards for those moments in a Mom's life that only another Mom could really understand. You know, like those days when you need to get to an appointment or to work and the baby dumps a bowl of cereal on their head, or … [Read more...]
