Just in Case
With three kids whose ages span 10 years, it’s been a long time since I have lived alone. Now that my youngest has gone to college, it has been a real adjustment. I guess you could say I have empty nest syndrome. I will admit it is kind of nice to have the tv remote to myself and not wonder on the way home if there is any ice cream left in the freezer. But then I also have to wonder if the milk or the leftovers have gone bad in the fridge (with a teen age boy in the house that never happened.) Before my last son moved out I got Home security Colorado so the truth is I am never truly alone as long as I set the alarm. I always disarm it when I come home but then re-set it without the motion sensor. It gives me peace of mind to know that I have it, like having a guardian angel. Just in case I need it!

Say Anything Game by North Star Review and Giveaway
"Say Anything" by North Star Games. This game is totally cool.
Overview of the Game-Say Anything is a light-hearted game about what you and your loved ones think. It gives you the chance to settle questions that have been hotly debated for centuries.
Game Rules-First off you pick someone to draw a card and pick a question like "What would be the coolest thing to have at a mansion?" " Which sport is the most fun to play?" etc. The other players write down an answer and turn their cards in. The speaker then secretly picks his/hers favorite answer, and everybody else tries to figure out which answer was picked!
North Star Games is devoted to putting out game that everyone can enjoy. Yes they have games that are aimed at older audiences (nothing wrong with the game just aimed at adults), but all in all they have games that the whole family can enjoy. They are produced by people that have a passion for fun.
Go to North Star Games Website and Tell me of another game you like they put out.

Looking For New Shoes
Infinity Shoes carries all sorts of styles and brands, from trendy to irregular choice shoes like the Motherly Love, and the Beast. To frye Boots like the Veronica Slouch, and the Melissa Button
Infinity Shoes has reasonable prices although they are still a little steep for my paycheck. But for anyone trying to find perhaps a nice gift for a friend or family member or maybe a husband or wife looking for a gift to their spouse then Infinity Shoes is probably the place for you. You can get a nice gift for a higher price yet not so high you have to mortgage your home.
I personally like the Frye brand shoes and the Men's boots. like the Walker and White Bradley. While they also carry nice looking dress, clogs, sandals, and many many more types of shoes, that I'm sure I could very easily come to love.
Infinity Shoes also carries many other types of products that you may be interested in looking at including Gift Cards, Bags, and other accessories that anyone would absolutely fall in love with.
So all in all Infinity Shoes is an A+++ Online store to order from.

Why Buying Gift Cards For the Holidays are Better than Actual Products
#1. The first reason I would say to buy gift cards for the holidays is that instead of just buying something you have no clue if the person your buying for will even like. People tend to see these as more useful than a product they'll throw out next year never even remembering where they got it from.
#2. My second point would be that this way you can pick out their favorite restaurant, favorite store or just a visa gift card. Friends and family usually can put these to more use than a toy, book, or some cool, new gadget you saw on television.
#3. I also think gift cards are better because normally they are more appreciated than a gift that looks like no thought was even put into getting.
#4. My last reason for getting a gift card instead of a gift would be that it is such a time saver, and you don't have to go through all the hassle of rushing to get a gift before someone else does, or standing in line at 2:00 in the morning hoping you got up early enough to get the product you want.
Some of the favorite places I would like to get a Gift Card to.
#1. The first place I would absolutely love to get a gift card from would be Kohl's. I love shopping there because they have reasonable prices along with quality clothing.
#2. The next place I'd like to get a gift card to would be either Red Robin (an excellent burger place) or Starbucks ( I love the Caramel Frappe's)
#3. My next place would probably be an electronic store like Apple, Best Buy, iTunes etc. As I love playing with electronics.
Unique Ways to give Gift Cards as Gifts
Here are just a few unique ways I have either received or given a card, and a few ways I think would just be cool to do.
#1. The first way I would give a gift card would be to get a nice card with a cute saying on it, or just add my own, and stick it with the gift card in an envelope. Also the way I received my last gift card which lucky for me was to Kohl's.
#2. One way I think would be cool to receive a gift card would be to have it put in something you can get at the store or restaurant it is for. Say it's for a restaurant perhaps give it in a shirt from the restaurant, or if it's for a store buy something small from them and put it in that.
I hope this can be of help to some of you that read my blog. If it is feel free to either comment saying so, or just leave some helpful tips of your own.

My Twinn Review
What a dreary day. It rained all day yesterday! I have another company to share with ya'll. My Twinn. They make custom dolls that are made to look just like whoever you are having it made for!

Here is some information from My Twinn... "
My Twinn creates one-of-a-kind personalized dolls designed to look like children ages 3-12. A handcrafted My Twinn doll makes the perfect gift - a cuddly companion today and a cherished keepsake in the years to come. Our artisans create each doll using the finest quality vinyl for faces and limbs and a soft, fully poseable body for playability. Matching girl and doll clothing, stylish accessories and unique furniture enhance the My Twinn experience. Since its inception in 1993, My Twinn has offered a unique, proprietary doll concept centered on the worlds only fully personalized doll. The “just like me doll” is a play doll for today and an heirloom for tomorrow. The centerpiece of the concept is the fully articulated (jointed), 23” My Twinn personalized doll. The doll is completely personalizable including hair color and style, eye color, skin tone, face shape and even freckles and birth marks. The doll is soft bodied with high quality vinyl limbs and head. There are literally billions of combinations making each doll completely unique. Besides the doll itself which has tremendous play value there is an entire “world” of matching girl/doll outfits, doll accessories and doll furniture. In addition, My Twinn Baby was created in 2006 as a brand for younger My Twinn customers who may not be ready for the My Twinn doll but still wish to own a high quality My Twinn product. This brand has expanded each year into more dolls, outfits and accessories."
We love our My Twinn! We uploaded the picture, added the freckles and other things. It came out great! When we opened the box this is what we found!

Here she is in her nice dress! My little sister named her Miss Dee Dunmore after a doll she read about in a book.

Her neck and feet are tied in using ribbon...

She is very poseable!

I am Miss Dee Dunmore!

Ready for picture time!

Hmmm... very interesting.
They look alot alike?!?!
Come here Dee!

Once you spend a certain amount of money on their website you get a GC to use on their free merchandise page.

I chose two Headbands (one for her and one for the doll) and two hats (one for her and one for the doll).

This is a really neat gift. Any girl would love to have one! Wouldn't anybody?!? My little sister loves her new Twinn. She really enjoys it. She takes Dee Dunmore with her everywhere! Even to the gym, lunch, church, grocery store, and more.
My Twinn would be a great gift for that little girl. Make sure you check them out! You can also Like them on Facebook to stay up on their latest news.

Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant Review and Giveaway
Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant Solid stick on is one of the best companies to get your deodorant if you have excessive underarm perspiration.
Certain-Dri Anti Perspirant has been the leading dermatologist-recommended product for controlling excessive underarm perspiration for more than three decades. While other products claim to be "clinical strength", the Certain Dri formulations are the strongest available over-the-counter formulas at stores nationwide for the control of excessive underarm sweating, providing up o 72 hours of protection with each application.
Certain Dri Solid Anti-Perspirant is effective for reducing underarm perspiration due to stress, heat, sports, occupations, etc. Because of the therapuetic ingredients/formulation, Certain Dri Solid Anti-Perspirant is applied sparingly at bedtime. This allows it to work overnight. It will not wash off after bathing/showering in the morning. In many cases, users will discover that it will not be necessary to apply Certain Dri every night to control their perspiration problem.
Certain Dri is available in mas market retail, supermarket and drug stores nationwide, as well as via online retailers and at the certain dri website. Suggested retail for the 1.7oz solid stick is $5.50-$5.99.
Go to the Certain Dri Website and tell me something interesting you found out about the Company

Ceiva just started their Holiday Sale!
Here is a little bit about the Ceiva Photo Frame :
"CEIVA frames are the only picture frames that update automatically through a phone line or WIFI connection each night. So instead of having to sneak your way down a chimney in the wee hours of the night in an attempt to bring some happiness to your loved ones, CEIVA frames do all the work for you. When your photos appear in your family's living room, there's only one word for it: “Magical.” With CEIVA's practical PicturePlan® Photo Delivery Service, your circle of family and friends can enjoy an endless automatic display of photos sent from everyone, from anywhere — even from a camera phone, email, your Facebook and more. You'll receive an unlimited photo storage account at www.ceiva.com, photo customization tools, and the ability to send photos and written greetings — straight to your community of CEIVA frames—– all year long. With the PicturePlan Lifetime Warranty, your CEIVA will always be replaced or fixed for free for as long as you have the service. Everyone can connect by either Wi-Fi, Ethernet or telephone line (for those without computers — like grandpa!). Members can also invite anyone else to create a free photo storage account at ceiva.com and send photos — even if they do not own a frame.

These frames are really really neat! I use mine all the time! I sent invites to friends and they also send pictures to it! This would be a great gift for someone. One that would be well used! And right now would be a great time to purchase one because "CEIVA frames are on sale beginning today! You can get a CEIVA with a one-year photo sharing service for under $100. And more good news…CEIVA now offers the Foodista Channel with every service subscription."
