Technology is amazing

Technology is amazing, isn’t it?!

Are you aware that you are able to track anything or anyone with GPS Tracking?

Scary, yet fascinating, in my opinion!

With PT-X5 Live GPS Tracking, you are able to track anyone or anything Live with the PT-10 GPS tracker. You are able to watch live… as the PT-10 moves across your computer screen, live. GPS Tracking will works anywhere in the world. Even if you are in another town, another state, another country; you are even able to monitor Your Teen Driver, Protect Your Family Members Who Drive, Recover Your Stolen Vehicle.

How much better can technology get in today’s world?

We have and LOVE our Frog Pod. Well, if the Frog wasn't cute enough, there is a new addition to the Boon family!

The Boon Bug Pod will be flying into stores in September. We love our Pod! It makes bath time fun and bath clean up even better!

Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments

I LOVE the Holidays and I love Hallmark Ornaments and other products!

Personalized Gifts

For families who are separated from loved ones by miles or other circumstances, there are new products this holiday season that will still allow them to connect with their family. Hallmark’s Recordable Cards with Music can serve as a great way for a grandparent to hear a grandchild’s voice, or vice versa. The sender simply records a voice message into the card, and when opened, the card will play the message, followed by a 30-second clip of pre-recorded music.

Also available is Hallmark’s first recordable Keepsake Ornament entitled “Sittin’ on Santa’s Lap.”

The Keepsake is photo holder, and a child can record a special voice message to be played and sent to family.

The kids have their yearly Hallmark ornaments and this year, Miss Kambry will need her "My Second Christmas" and Tucker will be getting his "My Fourth Christmas". I think these Keepsake Ornaments are the cutest things ever!

We have an "Our Family" ornament from right after Tucker was born in 2005. I really love the 2008 version and will have to get this for our tree this year since we are a full family now and in our new home.

I love the family ornaments that show dad, mom, son & daughter. So precious!

Of course, I cannot forget Laurie,
because we are A Great Pair!

If you are a Hallmark Keepsake ornament collector like I am, it is great because now they offer an online "wish list". You can log on, add ornaments to your wish list and send the list to your loved ones for gift ideas!

Peekbuster Gift Bags and Gift Bags with Light and Sound

This year, Hallmark is introducing a new way to “bust” those present-anxious little ones (and big ones too) through the new line of “Peekbuster” gift bags. The bags have a sensory detector that sets off an alarm of funny noises when someone tries to peek at their presents in the bag. The bags range in size, and include noises that sound like car alarms, and even one that features Santa Claus kindly, but firmly, telling the peeker to “step away from the bag.” Other gift bags include cleverly incorporated lights and sounds, accentuating the overall gift presentation.

I love the Hallmark adhesive gift wrap. We used it for Tucker's 3rd birthday party gifts and it was so nice not to have to use tape. It was a huge hit with everyone too!

Holiday Adhesive Gift Wrap

Adhesive Gift Wrap was introduced earlier this year to rave reviews from consumers who wanted to have a clean, crisp look to their presents, but either did not have the time (or patience) to wrap a present with regular gift wrap. It’s pretty much like using a sticky note — the sticky coating on the paper adheres to the present (without leaving any residue), and there’s no need to fumble around with tape, hold down edges, or any of the usual frustrations that can go into wrapping gifts. New designs of the AGW feature festive holiday designs.

You cannot go wrong with Hallmark and their amazing line of products and gifts! Stop in to a Hallmark near you and pick up your Hallmark Keepsake Dream Book for 2008.

Toddler Snacks

We love snack time in our house! I am always looking up new ideas for us to make and things that DS can help make.

Fruit on a Stick – Cut up a bunch of different fruits such as apples, bananas, kiwis, mango and add a few grapes. Thread them onto a skewer for a delicious summer time treat. To make it a little more special add a few pieces of marshmallows between the fruit.
