Ten Tips for Getting Through BlogHer ’10

In two and a half weeks I'll be getting on a plane and flying to New York City for BlogHer 2010. This will be my fifth time attending the conference!

BlogHer vets, please feel free to add your own suggestions in a comment!

Watch This With Your Kids – The Jensen Project

The Jensen Project

This Friday, July 16th, Walmart and Proctor & Gamble premiere their second made -for-TV family movie collaboration with "The Jensen Project".  Walmart and P&G previously collaborated on "Secrets of the Mountain", which aired in April and was watched by more than 7 and a half million people!  Since I previously reviewed "Secrets of the Mountain" and we really enjoyed both the movie and the soundtrack, I agreed to tell Table for Five readers about "The Jensen Project". I'm hoping to be able to do a giveaway as well; I'll let you know if that works out! Airing from 8-10 pm EST on July 16th 2010 on NBC, "The Jensen Project" stars Kellie Martin ("Life Goes On"), LeVar Burton ("Star Trek" and "Reading Rainbow"), Patricia Richardson ("Home Improvement"), TV series regular Brady Smith, Alyssa Diaz ("Southland") and a young Canadian TV actor named Justin Kelly.
