Table for Five Turns Six, Named in Top 75 Blogs Parents with Teens Should Read!
August 30, 2011 By
Not only was Table for Five named as one of the Top 75 Blogs Parents with Teens Should Read by Bold Earth Adventures, but it came at just the right time - it's Table for Five's Six Year Bloggiversary!! I actually know that I started the blog sometime around the last week of August in 2005, but somehow in the move from Blogger to Wordpress.com, I lost a couple of posts.

Anyway, it's my 6th Anniversary of blogging, so what a nice surprise to get an email letting me know I had been included in a Top 75 Best list!

Since 1976, BOLD EARTH has offered Adventure Travel Summer … [Read more...]

They asked if I would be interested in getting a Motorola Xoom Tablet with six months of Verizon Wireless service to check out, plus the chance to try out a new Motorola phone. AND, I would get to KEEP either the Tablet or the phone! Now, you know I love gadgets and technology, so you'd better believe I replied yes to that email! My introduction to the Xoom came the day before the Brands & Bloggers Summit, when the Midwest Moms got together for a day of training. The tablets were pretty much set up and ready to go, ready for me to use to check Gmail, send Facebook updates, tweet, watch YouTube, browse the web - you name it, the Xoom does it! The Xoom has a decent two-way 5 megapixel camera with dual flash and digital zoom. When I say two-way, I mean it can take regular photos, or I can tap to turn the camera around and use it as a webcam or for … [Read more...]
