Barbie has hers, why can't I have mine?

My grandmother had this beautiful corner TV stand in her living room.
It was there for as long as I could remember...
When she moved into her apartment, she did not take it with her.
I asked my mom if I might be able to get that from her, as it was something that I would always remember her by.
Then, we got to thinking about it.
It was for the corner, I have our TV on the main wall and I would hate to think that I got this from her and would never have anywhere to put it.
So, I ended up not worrying about it and she sold it in an Estate Sale.
After that, I found out that she had it custom built all those years ago.
Granted, I would have loved to have had it, but as I said...
We have our TV on the main wall...
Top it all off, Marc REALLY wants to get a flat screen TV and I know that means mounting it on the wall, so a corner TV stand would really be useless then!

We have this basic TV stand that I bought umpteen years ago...
Hey, I even put it together myself, pretty proud accomplishment, if I do say so!!
Anyways, it gets the job done...
For now... but whenever Marc gets that flat screen that he is dreaming of...
I know that I will be looking at TV stands!

This looks like a great stand for me... and an awesome TV for Marc!
I like how it has open shelving for all you tech savvy people that have all sorts of gadgets.
We would not be using all of them, but I could totally put a picture frame or a funky piece of art
on the empty shelves!
It also has two drawers in the middle to hold a couple of our most watched DVDs!!!

But...
If you are like us and have a decent sized DVD collection, the Oak TV Stands that Cymax has might be more your speed.
This particular one grabbed my eye:
It has shelving all around to allow for maximum storage!
It even says that it holds 112 DVD/Video Games!
I think that might work!
I think that this would work great to hold the Wii and the games, as well as more of our DVDs.

Can you tell that I really want a couple of these?
I think that the nice big one with the flat screen would be great in our living room...
and the black oak one would look awesome in a game room/play room for the kids!
(Don't have either now, but in my dreams we do! Come on... Barbie has her dream house.. Let me have mine! Ha ha ha!)


What about you?
What kind of TV stand do you have?
What dream room do you have?

    I think my tv stands are all corner stands. I tend to like to shove my electronica into corners, I guess.

    I can't stand the one we have, it hardly holds anything and really isn't very nice looking.
    I really love the one you liked, it is beautiful. I hope if we ever get a chance to move that I can get one like that. =)

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...

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!!!!...
