SakarOne of my absolute favorite pastimes isn't baseball, or even shopping for that matter.  It's KARAOKE!   :can't hear you:  I was first introduced to karaoke back in college and have been hooked ever since.  One of my dreams as a kid was to grow up and be a bona fide rock star like Stevie Nicks or Ann Wilson.  Unfortunately, my vocal chords didn't get the memo...so now, I like to sing along to my favorite tunes for fun.

My husband is just as big of a karaoke fan as I am and even has a business where he runs several local karaoke shows each week around Houston.  So needless to say, when I heard of the new Vivitar iSing Karaoke Sound System from Sakar, I wanted to give it a try right away!

But wait, there`s more! »

Brother P-TouchI have to admit something here and now:  I'm a bona fide organizational junkie!  When I was a teacher, my friends always joked about how each and every thing in my classroom was labeled and organized to perfection.  I'm proud of the way my home and every office I've ever worked at has looked, though admittedly, my organizational skills seemed to have finally met their match with one high-traffic room in my house.

The pantry in our home has grown to be the bane of my existence.  It's a great room, though because we have too few closets or too much stuff, it has taken on the job of holding much more than just our food.  Extra food related items, like serving trays, popsicle makers, etc. are housed right along with our cleaning supplies, mop buckets, dog food, tubs of food storage supplies and much more.  No matter how many times I take everything out and reorganize the entire area, it never stays spic and span for long.

You see, my husband is quite the clutter bug and he never seems to "get" my organizational system for the pantry.  This means that he just puts things in there all willy-nilly and before long, the pantry is back to being a cluttered disaster area once again.  That's why I was so excited to be chosen as a Brother P-Touch Ambassador.  With the help of a Brother P-Touch label maker, I'm going to take on the challenge of organizing my home's pantry once and for all.  That way, every family member will know exactly where each and every type of item goes and our pantry can remain neat as a pin.

Ready to see the horrible current condition of my pantry:  READ ON IF YOU DARE!  :evil:

Phase 4 FilmsI have always loved Spring Break!  It's the perfect time of the year to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air, bright sunshine and warm temperatures.  Unfortunately though, at times I find it hard to keep my little one entertained.  We play games, go on scavenger hunts and take many trips to the park, but being a work-at-home mom with an energetic 4-year-old on Spring Break can be difficult at times.

If you're in the same boat and are looking for fun ways to entertain your children during Spring Break, be sure to check out the latest family-friendly offerings from Phase 4 Films: Horrid Henry and The Jungle Book.

I reviewed the following two movies from Phase 4 Films, both found exclusively at Walmart:

The Jungle Book: Rumble in the Jungle, which retails for $14.86

Horrid Henry, which retails for $14.86
