When I first heard of the term material handling, I was like what in the world is that? But, after checking out the site is just a fancy way of saying “tools that you husband or significant other might want for Christmas”. Well at least that is what the website said to me when I looked at it. Not all men are handy but some like the whole tools thing and crave for birthdays or holidays in order to get a new “toy” from their sweetheart. So, if you have a man or woman in your life that can appreciate those sorts of things then have them check out the website mentioned above.

Traveling out of country or anywhere for that matter is never easy especially with young children. By making sure that your passport is up to date and following the guidelines from the airline you can be assured that your flight just might be a little bit smoother. Whenever you go on vacation or on a business trip it is important that you are as prepared as possible. Now granted you may not be prepared as you may like to be or you might not have thought of all the different scenarios in your head before you go out that door but being somewhat prepared is better than not being prepared at all.

Schoolhouse Rock: The Election Collection is the perfect DVD to help get kids excited about the upcoming election. I know when I was a child watching these School House Rock videos really did help me learn about things I had a hard time grasping. The School House Rock series teaches children in a fun, interactive way.

I love when we as parents and teachers can find new, fun ways to teach children. And School House Rock is one of those awesome tools out there that can help a child learn the things they need to know with catchy songs and interesting facts.

I Want That!

Quick! Grab your copy of Schoolhouse Rock: The Election Collection before its time to tally the votes!

I don’t know about you but I am ubber excited that Fall Television is finally back on the airways. Oh how I have missed you Fall TV. My life was so boring, so uneventful without the anticipation of my favorite shows. Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Private Practice, and Pushing Daisies, I’ve longed to see your new episodes and funny characters.

So what have I been doing to fill the void before my favorite shows came back on the air? Well I’ve been watching box sets of some of my favorite shows like Samantha Who?, Desperate Housweives, and Grey’s Anatomy but box sets could never quench my thirst for something new, some new twist to the story line. But this week it all changed or is changing as there are several more premiers set to hit the airwaves later on this week.

In Case You Missed It

Several shows have already premiered but in case you missed it you can watch full episodes online at ABC.com. What are you waiting for? Go pop some popcorn and fire up the computer you’ve got some catching up to do!

What shows are you anticipating the premier of? What do you think of the premiers that have already aired? For me personally, Grey’s Anatomy was the show that I just could not wait to see and I was so glad that I got two hours of McDreamy goodness all to myself. Desperate Housewives was a little weird with the whole jumping 5 years in the future but I suppose the new story line will have to do. Actually, I’m liking seeing Gabrielle a little plumper with two kids because in all honesty that really is what happens to most women after they have kids. Its Great!

I hate mornings. I am not a morning person. With that being said, mornings are a lot easier to handle with a little incentive from the Starbucks fairy. Starbucks just introduced their new breakfast line and I just had to try it out for myself.

The new Apple Bran Muffin is too die for! It is so good!!! You have got to try out this new breakfast treat for yourself. The best part is that they are totally affordable at just $1.75 for a yummy muffin that totally packs a nutritious punch! I typically hate bran muffins because they are usually so bland but this one is so yummy and full of cinnamon flavor that it is hard not to love it. You know what is the best? My children even gobbled up the Apple Bran Muffin. They loved the sweet cherries in the middle. So if my picky eating kids will eat this muffin you know it is good!

I Want That!

Visit your local Starbucks store and ask for the Apple Bran muffin or any of the other awesome new Breakfast items like the Perfect Oatmeal, Baked Berry Stella, or the Multigrain Roll with Spreads.

I’ve been anticipating the release of the NEW Pussycat Dolls album “Doll Domination” for a while now. Every time it seemed to get close to the release date they would push back the date just a little bit further so that I had to wait even longer to get my Pussycat Doll fix. I don’t care what anyone says, I really like the Pussycat Dolls. I’m a huge fan of their fast “booty shake” stuff, not such a fan of the slow stuff though. I like music that makes me move not something that slows me down. After downloading the new album…finally…I was really pleased with it and I even found a way to get it a lot cheaper than the $10-$15 price tag that is often associated with new CDs. At amazon they have the Doll Domination mp3 download album for only $2.99. That comes with all 16 songs on the first CD. For $3 that is a steal. But if you want Doll Domination (Deluxe) it is going to cost you $9.49 that is unless you do my trick which is to buy the $3 version of Doll Domination then go into the deluxe version of the same album and download the extra 5 songs on the second disc individually which allows you to come out cheaper by a dollar or so. Are the 5 songs worth the trouble or the price of the deluxe album, it is all up to you. You can listen to the samples and decide for yourself if they are worth the download or not. But definitely snag up your copy of Doll Domination for just $2.99!!! If you don’t download an album, at least snag the single “When I Grow Up” for just 99 cents!!

I buy all of my music online from either Amazon or iTunes (only if Amazon doesn’t have it like audiobooks for example). I haven’t bought a CD in the longest time since switching solely to digital. Every Tuesday, I look out for new releases. And with my iPod Touch it just fuels my obsession for music even more!

What is the latest thing that you have downloaded or bought? What are you anticipating releasing into the music world? How do you listen to your downloads?

Dial Complete Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash is the best hand soap I’ve used in a very long time. Dial Complete Foaming Hand Wash protects your family better than liquid hand soap because it is 10x more effective in germ killing yet being gentle enough for everyday use. I love that it has lotion in it which leaves my hands not only super clean but super soft as well. My son loves using the Dial Complete Foaming Hand Wash. He loves that it foams is just a general joy to use. It really has helped up promote the “Campaign for Clean Hands” in our own home. Now my child is actually reminding me to wash his hands.

I found this video on youtube that will be running for the Dial Complete Campaign for Clean Hands website.

Those kids are just too cute and really excited about having clean hands!

Being a busy working mommy isn’t easy but teaching your children the importance of what you do and the many “shoes” that you wear can help make the transition a little easier on you and your little one. In the book, Mommy’s High Heel Shoes you will read about one little girl’s curiosity over her mother’s high heeled shoes. She knows that when Mommy wears her high heels that she is off to work but also wonders why mommy has so many different pair of shoes. The story unfolds with curios stories of what mommy does when she wears her high heeled shoes and ends with mommy explaining the role that each pair of shoes play.

This book was so much fun to read. The illustrations are beautiful and I loved how the author added a glimpse of mystery to each page by having you find a ladybug, heart, and cupcake. It was fun to read through the story then go back and find the hidden treasures in each illustration. This is a loved book by my family and I’m sure your family will love to read it as well.

I Want That!

This book is definitely a must have for your book shelf. To get your copy go to the Online Store or at Amazon.

I’ve always wanted to have a home gym. Right now the only fitness equipment I have are several yoga mats and a stationary bike. I like to be active and fit but I hate going to a foreign place just to get a good workout so I often just try to do my fitness routine at home. I’m a huge fan of yoga and palates. Due to my knee, I’m unable to do a lot of aerobic activity so yoga and palates is a great way to work me out without putting stress or strain on my injured knee.

How do you work out? Do you go to a gym or do you workout at home? If you workout at home, where do you workout? Do you have a gym “room”?

Protect your memories with a great picture card, your photos will thank you.
