As a full-time blogger, I am on my computer...a LOT!  Probably more than I realize or even want to admit sometimes.  Unfortunately, my diligence on the computer has come with one major downfall.

I have some serious pain in my shoulder and neck area pretty much constantly.  This all began about six months ago, curiously enough about the same time that I started blogging much more.

It took me a while, but I finally put two and two together.  My shoulder and neck pain are actually being caused by the continuous use of my computer mouse, since it is only occurring on my right side.  I knew I had to do something because this pain is starting to affect other areas of my life and changing what I can and cannot do.

Thankfully, Smartfish Technologies gave me the opportunity to review their Whirl Mini Laser Mouse, a new take on the ergonomic laptop mouse.  Keep reading to find out whether or not it worked for me!

"I don't feel like eating dinner now!", "I want ice cream!"  For most Moms, these are all too familiar-- and all too frequent -- demands heard by kids everywhere around 5:30 pm. Yes, as Moms we face a set of dinnertime challenges nearly every night- challenges that only another mom can understand. That's why Ragú^® is launching "Mom's the Word on Dinner," an online community for moms to laugh, learn and share their take on what really happens at dinnertime.

Ragú® is teaming up with some familiar faces, including some of the fabulous ladies of Momversation™, to bring moms together to share stories and tips, celebrate the small wins and laugh about situations that only other moms can relate to.  Each month, this online community will be tackling topics from how to deal with picky eaters, to getting them to eat their veggies to what's being discussed at the dinner table, with some tips from parenting expert and author, Dr. Michele Borba, and Registered Dietician, Dr. Felicia Stoler.

In addition to the ongoing fun and conversation, the Mom's the Word on Dinner community will feature videos, photos, polls, quizzes and dinner ideas with quick and easy recipes. With two full servings of veggies in every half cup of Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional pasta sauce, Ragú® provides nutritious meal options for parents to help them on their mission to feed their kids well. This wouldn't be a true community without interaction and Ragú^® wants to hear what happens at dinnertime in kitchens and homes across the country!  Moms can join the conversation and tell their story for a chance to be featured in a Ragú^® ad in PEOPLE magazine at Facebook.com/ragusauce.

Disclosure: I was entered for a chance to win a Ragú® prize package in exchange for this post.  No monetary exchange took place.

My husband and I are kind of health nuts when it comes to Riley.  Food these days seems a lot more harmful than it used to be, because now everything is packed with artificial sweeteners, preservatives, trans-fats, hydrogenated oils and the like.

Why can't good food just come packaged as good food, without including all of the harmful ingredients too?  Well, thankfully Dole has created a new line of fruit bowls which are all natural, packed in 100% juice rather than syrup, and contain no artificial sweeteners.  Keep reading to learn more!

Here's a startling statistic: Only 6% of Americans get the recommended daily servings of vegetables.  Hard to believe that in the land of plenty, we Americans are purposely eating a diet with very few vegetables.  I'm definitely not finger waggling either, for I am probably one of the world's worst when it comes to eating vegetables.

If it wasn't for salads or my trusty juicer, I would get virtually no vegetables in my daily diet.  Thankfully, Birds Eye has partnered with the Share Our Strength "Feed Kids Better" campaign to help change those statistics for the better.  Keep reading to learn more!
