Baby Sitters Club - Remember?


Not sure about you...
But I used to LOVE the Baby Sitters Club.
I am not sure, but I think that might be what continued my love of reading.

I do remember that I had to write a report for school.
I wanted to go above and beyond, so I actually sent Ann M. Martin a letter...
Imagine my surprise when I got a letter back from her?
She took the time to send me a response!
She even included a picture/postcard of herself!

I bet I turned it in and hoped for extra -credit!
I wonder if I got any extra points?!
Hmmmmmmm....
I do know that because of her taking that extra time to acknowledge me...
I STILL have ALL of my baby sitters club books.

I think I am going to have to dig them out at some point and see if I am missing any.
If I am, I need to google and buy the ones I need!
Maybe I can find that letter and picture!

I need better organization!

Do you have an author that was a favorite as a child?!
Did you read the Baby Sitters Club?

    I wasn't much of a reader but my sister was really into Sweet Valley Twins by Francine Pascal. Once in a while I'd borrow one to read and they were fun. My mom still has the books at her house. It's almost the entire series. A few years after my sister moved out my mom tried to donate them to the local library but apparently they won't take book donations.

    I absolutely loved these books and I watched the movie every night before bed until the tape started messing up.

    I didn't read that series, I don't think. I read Nancy Drew like crazy!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Image
The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
