Skooba Rocks the Laptop-Tote Design

I’ve worked in Technology for a long long time. (What?? how old do you think I AM?!) I’ve always had to use one of those stuffy boring nylon-y or leather-y laptop bags. Oh and did I say bulky?

In the image and accessories department, let’s face it, the laptop bag IS...

Lies Women Tell Themselves

Imagine it’s your responsibility to assemble a group of women all in one place. You’re selecting women from all around the world, from different backgrounds, ethnicities, marital status, financial status… a really diverse group of ladies. You put them together in one room and more likely than not, you’re going to find they’ve all share a relationship with one common individual (other than you of...

The Derek Redmond Inspiration

Recently a friend posted a YouTube video link on Facebook that got a lot of attention. People were talking about crying watching it, having a lump in their throat, being so moved by the power of love and perseverance. I didn’t watch it though. I couldn’t quite tell what the video was about, and the thumbnail image was a bit blurred and all I could see was what appeared to be a heartfelt embrace between two people with...

Melissa and Doug – First Bead Maze

I love this First Bead Maze from Melissa and Doug. I got it for Baby Girl for her first Christmas. I always see similar wire mazes in pediatrician’s offices and they kids love them. As a matter of fact, they love them so much they usually don’t want to leave them behind when it’s time to go home. These are never the “forgotten toys”, the ones you get because all the good ones are taken. These are the ones...

JumpStart Review and Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. Winning comment is #7 as chosen by Random.org  Ever since my oldest son was little – before he even started Preschool – I’ve been on the lookout for good educational games for children. With me in IT, I felt that the earlier the kids learned basic computer literacy the better for them. As a former teacher, I’m also a big fan of teaching aids that feel more like fun and...
