Your Online Personal Shopper - Show #45
July 24, 2008 | 1 Comment
Instead of spending hours a day searching for one simple item, make your online shopping experience even easier with these two new personalized search functions!
If you’re searching for clothing and are easily intimidated by the millions of websites that come up after a simple Google search, then make an account at StyleFeeder.com and simply put in your clothing preferences, answer a few short questions, and cut your shopping time in half. StyleFeeder will search out the best online deals for those items you have selected.
Basically, you have a personal shopper searching the internet for you!
And searching eBay just got easier with the Shopping and Discovery search function. Simply delete those items that don’t match your specifications completely and focus on fewer auctions.

- StyleFeeder.com - The personal shopping engine

Staycation Shopping - Show #44
July 17, 2008 | 1 Comment
If you are staying close to home this summer because of the rising fuel costs, then you’ll love this week’s show about Staycation shopping!
Many states have put up websites listing local attractions and even discounted coupons. Connecticut has a website that offers special attraction discounts only to state residents, specifically rewarding those residents who are staying close to home.
You will even find sales for home improvements or decorating so you can tackle those big projects that you never seem to find the time for. Keep your eyes and ears open for those sales because they may not be called “staycation sales.”
No matter what your summertime plans, enjoy your family and your time in the sun! Stay safe!

This DVD gives you the information you need to keep your children safe and happy on the Internet. Divided up in chapters so they can be easily accessed this DVD includes sections on healthy internet habits, expert advice on setting up parental guidelines and even on social networking.
Review:
Do you have a teenager who is constantly on the computer? It can be as scary and nerve wracking as letting them borrow the car on a Friday night. In fact for me it was worse because I wasn’t sure what might be available for them to access and find.
The The Internet and Your Kids: Healthy Habits for a Safe Online Home
I can set up some parental codes now. I of course knew they were on the computer, but how do you know what to block. I mean yes there are sites you are going to automatically know to block, but those aren’t the only ones out there. It helped me to find the right things to block and how to use the block to make sure all these types of things were included.
The 16 healthy habits for Internet safety came in very handy. In just a few minutes I began to feel better about my teenager’s safety. Believe it or not my teenager was even pretty receptive to most of them. This even included some of the ideas about social networking and the MySpace site.
If you are concerned about your child and the Internet invest in this DVD. Even those of us who think we know may come away with some things that will be helpful. Keeping my child safe is of the utmost importance to me. This DVD and the expert advice it gave me has helped me to do just that.

This child’s gardening tool set
Review:
Most of my time is spent in my garden. My children like to be out there with me but I’m always afraid they will get hurt on the garden tools. I wanted them to be able to spend time with Mom, help in the garden if they wanted to and still be safe.
I found this little garden tool set. It has worked great with my children. Although I wish each tool had it’s own handle so both the kids could play at the same time. They still have a lot of fun with it and have decided to start their own garden next year.
The different tool heads are interchangeable. The kids have a great time with the shovel. I find small holes dug all over the yard. The rake is great too. The only thing is they haven’t really gotten down pat the fact that once they dig the hole they can use the rake to put the dirt back. I usually find it in the grass along the way.
I don’t think they have ever used the fruit picker. At least not to pick fruit with. It’s cute though and the kids have used it to catch the little golf balls and other items they find to throw back and forth.
This little garden set is a lot of fun for my children. It’s not used much in the garden, but they still find ways of entertaining themselves with it for hours. That’s enough for me because an entertained child is a happy child.
