Samsung ST30 Camera and Mamarazzi!: Reviews
I’ve been shopping around for a new camera lately, and was excited to get the chance to review the new Samsung ST30. I mean, first of all, check out all the cute colours: But what you can’t see in the picture is that this camera weighs in under 90 grams, and is a pocket-sized 82 x […] Read more…
Pampered Chef Review and Giveaway
Giveaway open to Canadians. You all know I’m not a cook. If I can eat out or get someone to cook for me, then I’m a happy woman. But I realize that, for many reasons (a: I’m not rich, b: my mom lives too far away and c: if my husband did ALL the cooking, […] Read more…
Back To School Big Spenders
I received this press release today, and thought I’d share it.

Wednesday Words from “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch
I’ve read some great books lately (“Water For Elephants”: book club selection, incredible, couldn’t put it down) as well as some good books (“From This Moment On” by Shania Twain: sad, from her upbringing to her split, but still inspiring) yet I’ve chosen a relatively old (2008) title to share with you today.
