As you may remember reading in a previous post, I was lucky enough to be chosen as a Maytag Dependable Laundry Mom!  With that designation comes the perk of trying out the new Maytag Bravos XL High-Efficiency Top Loading Washer and Steam Dryer in my own home.

I'm happy to report that I've been using the Maytag Bravos XL pair to clean my family's neverending supply of dirty clothes for over two months now.  Keep reading to learn what my impressions of this laundry room duo are so far!

If you've read my previous post about Polly Pocket toys, you'll remember that my daughter was absolutely fascinated after being introduced to the world of Polly.  The toys I reviewed then were all larger and included suction cups on the bottom, which were just perfect for my 3-year-old to manipulate.

This time, the Polly Pocket toys we received were more like the original variety and included small pieces without suction cups.  We also received a DVD containing a short video of one of Polly's adventures, entitled "Friends Finish First".

I'll be the first to admit that I am hardly a professional cook.  I try really hard and usually come up with some very delectable dishes, but it's always a supreme effort on my part.  For me, kitchen organization is extremely important because without it, cooking a yummy family meal would take forever.

One area that I've never quite been able to organize effectively though is my spice collection.  Currently, I use a large lazy susan to stack up all of the various bottles of spices, but this is far from perfect.  It's hard to see which spices are in the middle and I constantly have to stack and unstack the bottles each time I cook.

Thankfully, YouCopia Products has created an innovative spice organizer to help declutter your kitchen and prepare your food in record time.

It's something we all take for granted and typically abuse, but once it's gone or in jeopardy, we truly understand just how precious it is...  GIVE UP?  :question:  Although several things could probably fall in this category, what I'm talking about today is your health.

Our health is one of the single most valuable assets we possess, but yet we generally compromise ourselves at every turn.  Not eating right, getting enough exercise or sleep, not taking our vitamins, not drinking enough water, etc. are all ways we break down our own vitality.

Health care costs always seem to be on the rise which causes most Americans to forgo the proper care they deserve.  Don't put your jeopardy due to these expenses.  Follow these health care tips from Cigna instead.

My husband and I have long been connoisseurs of classically funny tee shirts.  I think my love affair began the first time I saw Booger's "Who Farted?" tee on Revenge of the Nerds.  You can imagine then how happy my husband and I were when the whole "graphic tee" phenomena took place about 10-20 years ago.  Everywhere we turned, there was one witty saying after another emblazoned on the front of a tee shirt.

Now, although I still get a kick out of funny tee shirts saying things like, "Come to Philadelphia for the Crack" (with a picture of the liberty bell on the front), I have to admit that the graphic tee is a little played out.  Thankfully, Creative Apparel Concepts has created a new wave in funny tee shirts with their Faux Real line of photorealistic shirts.
